MARIN, Juliana  y  MARTINS RIBEIRO, Carlos Dimas. Bioethical problems in the inter-team practice in a Primary Healthcare Unit in Brazil. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp.67-77.  Epub 14-Nov-2020. ISSN 1657-4702.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.3991.

The objective of this work is to analyze the origin and the bioethical problems arising in the work process amongst teams in a Primary Health Care unit in Brazil. This qualitative research has three stages of operationalization: ethnography, interview, and focus group. The main bioethical problem found, which compromises the production of care at this level, is the lack of solidarity amongst the professionals in the teams and with the patients who do not belong to the sector of the territory under their responsibility. The reasons for this bioethical problem are associated with municipal management collection to increase production and the achievement of goals, the little appreciation for the team workers and their efforts at the job from the management and an asymmetric esteem. In this sense, bioethics in the context of public health becomes understanding and discussing the problems experienced to establish a framework of moral conscience and ethical action. At certain moments, a solidarity contribution from others, materialized in the recognition of being part of that production, is necessary for the effectiveness of a team.
