Abstract:

Abstract This is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, conducted in a city in the interior of the state of Ceará, Brazil, in 2016. It sought to analyze the production of care and the inter-subjective relationships with patients with high blood pressure in the Family Health Strategy. The data were collected through a checklist for systematic non-participant observation, treated by the Thematic Content Analysis. 14 patients and two medical professionals participated: a nurse and a doctor. Two categories emerged: “Production of care in intersubjective relationships: welcoming, dialogue, listening, bonding”; and, “Elements emanating from interpersonal interaction: empathy, mutual respect, trust, accompaniment in reflections”. In the observations, these practices are still centered on the disease, with the need to strengthen the dialogue in the field of relational technologies to improve production of care from the perspective of intersubjectivity in care. There is a need to promote light technologies in the Family Health team that provide new skills for communication, subjectivity and the production of care.
