PET-Health monitors perceptions regarding their education and interdisciplinary teamwork.

This study aimed to identify and analyze social representations of PET-Health monitors at the Minas Gerais Federal University (UFMG), Brazil, which participate in the School Healthcare research area, with respect to the influence of this experience on their professional education and their outlook toward interdisciplinary teamwork. The methodology sought to delineate their social representations. Their responses were assessed, entered into a database, and imported to the NVivo.10 software. The data were categorized and evaluated using collective subject discourse analysis. Data from 33 monitors of PET-Saúde were gathered, and these formed 16 representational components: nine related to the monitors’ education and seven related to interdisciplinary teamwork. The experience made a relevant difference to the education of professionals, with favorable perceptions toward interdisciplinary teamwork focusing on the social demands of the Brazilian Health System (SUS).
