RESUMO

World movements have been, through time, widening the concept of the health-disease process, adding to it the idea of the biopsychosocial and economic context, and increasing the demands for action in the health area. To answer these new demands which have legal support, there is also the need for new trends in administration, planning and local politics. Implementation of the principles of the Constitution, consolidation of the process of descentralization in the Brazilian Health System (SUS) and development of joint action by different sectors are the fundamentals of the present research, whose objective is, first, to study the perception relative to the health-disease process in the different levels of the local government and also the relationship of the labour sector with the health sector, in order to disclose the possibility of political and organizational cooperation between these two sectors; and second, to analyze the perception of the relevance of cooperation among sectors as a strategy for promoting integrality of health actions. The Qualitative Method of Analysis consisted, in these two phases, of individual interviews and applcation of a survey for research 1 and research 2 with open questions, recorded at the work place. A transcription was then made, utilizing the Collective Subject Discourse tehnique, which allows characterization and analysis of oral testimonies, based on central ideas and key-expression. 100 per cent of the members of the health administrative staff in a county of the 13rd Health Region of Rio Grande do Sul, plus two direct consultants, were interviwed. We noticed that they have a non-limited and positive concept of health; that they recognize the responsibility of several sectors in the health-disease process in the population and that they also recognize the possibility of joint cooperation among sectors. Based on these fidings we can assure that, with political and administrative changes, capacitation of human resources and planning it is possible to promote and to improve actions to increase integrality in health care.
