A FORMAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL PARA AGENTES INDÍGENAS DE SAÚDE (AIS) E AGENTES INDÍGENAS DE SANEAMENTO (AISAN): UMA ANÁLISE DOCUMENTAL

Abstract

This article has the basic objective of evaluating professional training for Indigenous Health Agents (AIS) and Indigenous Sanitation Agents (AISAN), based on national curricular guidelines and teaching materials prepared by the Ministry of Health, both prepared by the Ministry of Health, with the support of researchers and educational institutions and professionals from Special Indigenous Health Districts (DSEIs). Document analysis and a qualitative approach were used as a methodological path. It was identified, through analysis of documents, that there is an alignment of national curricular guidelines and teaching materials for the training of these agents with health work processes and public policies for valuing indigenous peoples. We also note the concern with language and culture, as well as the identification of a contextualized approach to the themes that integrate Western medicine with traditional indigenous medicine.
