Abstract:

This theoretical essay addresses definitions and central characteristics of intersectoral actions for health. It aims, therefore, to reflect on the knowledge produced about the conceptions and nature of intersectoral actions for health. For the construction of the analyzes, an integrative review was carried outpublications referring to the period between 2000 and 2019 identified in the Lilacs, SciELO, Web of Science and Science Direct databases. The corpus included 12 articles, with aspects related to the purpose, purpose or method of intersectoral action being analyzed, making it possible to trace similarities and contrasts between definitions. In view of the opacity in the construction of definitions, it was necessary to situate that there is a socio-historical construction of the concepts, but the provisional definitions express a certain blurring or erasure that are in dispute within the field of health and that can lead to different points of view and constitute barriers to include the implementation of intersectoral actions related to health promotion in daily practices. Such reflections derived a set of propositions about the nature of intersectoral actions for health that aim to contribute to the debate on the theme.

Keywords:

Inter-sectoral action; Intersectoral action for health; Intersectoral collaboration; Review.
