Abstract:
The aim of this study is to describe and analyze Epidemiological Surveillance activities (ES) developed in a Health Care Unit and to identify their adherence to recommended Health Surveillance (HS) strategies. A checklist with the activities recommended by the Ministry of Health was used to conduct interviews with health professionals involved in ES activities. The data obtained from these interviews showed that Epidemiological Surveillance activities are limited to the notification and control of infectious diseases, and the nurses' labor is characterized by bureaucratic tasks. This shows that further discussion about Health Surveillance strategies is necessary to find ways to better implement them in health services.
