Abstract

 

Collective care practices are essential nursing care interventions. This study aimed to analyze how collective care practices nurses performed during the pandemic in Primary Health Care were established. Methods: This qualitative research was inspired by Michel Foucault’s genealogical method, which adopted semi-structured interviews from 59 nurses working in Primary Health Care as a data production instrument. Results: Collective practices were discontinued during the pandemic, and we identified PHC’s precariousness. Discussion: We live in a biopolitical situation in which several populations are subject to “precariousness”. Conclusion: Preserving collective health practices in PHC strengthens the confrontation of life precariousness. By occupying the public space of Primary Health Care, collective care practices conjure deindividualization, weakening social medicalization.
