Abstract

Introduction: The reorganization of training processes, both in graduate and postgraduate programs, has awakened the most diverse reflections regarding the importance of teamwork, collaborative practices, and interprofessional education. Objective: To understand the perception of residents and graduates about the role of interprofessional education and the elements of collaborative work within the two Residency Programs in Family Health in the Municipality of João Pessoa - Paraíba. Method: This is exploratory and descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research and a protocol were adopted and a semi-structured instrument was developed. Graduates who had completed their residency in March 2022 and were chosen for accessibility and convenience participated in the survey. Data collection was carried out remotely with screen recording (image and audio) with the permission of the participants. The interviews from May to June 2022. Using the saturation criterion, the records were analyzed from the perspective of Bardin's content analysis, in the thematic categorization modality. Results and discussion: The analysis resulted in four categories: collaborative interprofessional work, collaborative interprofessional practice, effects of residency on interprofessional work, and interprofessionality in the pandemic period. An understanding of the importance of interprofessionality for training in residency programs was observed, through the understanding of how graduates perceive it and, because of this, put it into practice, even immersed in a pandemic context, triggering changes in interpersonal practices stimulated by the program. Final considerations: The graduates presented mastery of the concept of interprofessionality in their speeches and understood the role of interprofessional education in professional practices and health care. In the light of the graduates' perspective, it was found that the residency programs in family health, despite perceived weaknesses, are excellent fields of action for the development of interprofessionality, favoring an expanded clinical view and comprehensive care in assistance.
