GUTIERREZ-MURILLO, Roberth Steven. Impacts of population aging on the work process of multiprofessional residents in family health, Foz do Iguaçu, 2021. Poblac.Desarro. [online]. 2022, vol.28, n.55, pp.5-20. ISSN 2076-054X.  https://doi.org/10.18004/pdfce/2076-054x/2022.028.55.005.

This paper sought to investigate possible implications of population aging in the work process of multiprofessional residents who make-up the Family Health Strategy workforce in a Brazilian municipality. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, adopting the mixed method of analysis, according to the nature and origin of the data. The paper exposes difficulties faced/reported by the professionals, as well as highlights perceptions that may, in a certain way, be influenced by subjectivities that illustrate points to be analyzed with caution, especially in future studies. It was found that the work attitudes adopted by the residents permeate a positive view of the care provided to the elderly, highlighting the importance of the bond, territorial recogni tion and the functioning of local healthcare networks. However, the results also showed a low degree of knowledge among the professionals about geriatric-gerontological instruments that guide healthcare for the elderly, which could affect the quality of the health care provided.

Keywords : Elderly; Unified Health System; Gerontological Management; Social Gerontology.
