Abstract
Psychology professionals are officially admitted to work in Primary Health Care after the Extended Nucleus of Family Health and Primary Care (NASF-AB) creation, intending to expand the resolution of this level of health care. This study aimed to analyze the labor productivity of Psychology professionals working in the NASF-AB in Maceió (state of Alagoas - AL) in 2019. The methodological aspects include the analysis of quantitative and qualitative elements in an exploratory-descriptive research, using secondary data from the Primary Health Care Information System (SISAB). Among the results, the predominance of individual care mainly on health center itself and the high percentage of referrals to specialized services stand out. Regarding collective activities, meetings of a technical and pedagogical nature predominate, mainly with the supported teams, and Health Education focused at users. Faced with evidence of a clinical profile, psychologists must problematize their practices as NASF-AB professionals. Since this is a complex field of action, it is important that these professionals take an active role, exploring the possibilities of expanded clinic, health promotion and prevention, and knowledge from health information systems.
