The use of narratives and group device approach in education/continuing education of health professionals: a literature review. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2019, vol.23, e180217.  Epub 10-Jun-2019. ISSN 1414-3283.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.180217.

This article deals with the set of problems surrounding care’s strategies for life, the setting up of patient’s autonomy, cooperation and bonding regarding public health care services. Its objectives are to to map the continuing education strategies of the health professionals who use the group device and the narratives to identify their theoretical-methodological matrices and to analyze the conceptions about the care of the experiences under study. A review of the literature on the experiences published between 2000 and 2017 was carried out. As a result, it was verified that the publications have foundations on the interactionist, constructivist and problematizing theories. The analyzed experiences used more of a group strategy, being predominant the focus groups; the oral narratives were the main modalities, addressing varied themes around care. It concludes by the importance of the use of shared narratives in groups for the transformation of practices and the reconstruction of senses and meanings of health care.

Key words: Care; Groups; Narratives; Continuing education in health.
