Their discourse and recognition of the advances of SUS, as well as their participation on the implementation of the system, are analyzed. The Brazilian Ministry of Health instituted it in 1994 in order to rebuild the health politics on a new basis, substituting the traditional model. The city-centered implementation of SUS was instituted on May 27, 1992 by the act n? 631/92 and today it experiences a Full Management of Basic Attention. In July 2001 the PSF program was started in the city with 5 teams: 2 in the urban zone and 3 in the rural one. The methodology was developed with the combination of qualitative and quantitative research with the employment of a questionnaire with both open and closed inquiries to 31 members of the program. The study appointed that, no matter how positive and enlarged be the staff s concept of health and SUS, they dont s have on understanding of the total chain of the system on its integrality, hierarchy and regionality what hinders the system performance close to the users. The PSF incorporates and reaffirms the basic principles of the SUS; however, on its everyday employment it has not yet abandoned totally the curative model, which is reinforced by the hospital-centered and physiscian-centerend culture / A pesquisa mostra como os profissionais do Programa Sa?de da Fam?lia (PSF) de Santana do Matos v?em o Sistema ?nico de Sa?de (SUS), analisando o discurso e o reconhecimento por parte da equipe dos avan?os, desafios e do seu papel enquanto integrante na implementa??o do SUS. O Minist?rio da Sa?de criou o PSF, em 1994, com o prop?sito de reorganizar a aten??o ? sa?de substituindo o modelo tradicional. A municipaliza??o de sa?de deu-se no dia 27 de maio de 1992, atrav?s do conv?nio n? 631/92 e hoje vivencia uma Gest?o Plena de Aten??o B?sica. Em julho de 2001 foi implantado o PSF na cidade, composto de 05 equipes: duas na zona urbana e tr?s na rural. A metodologia foi desenvolvida atrav?s da combina??o de pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa com um roteiro de entrevista de perguntas abertas e fechadas a 31 integrantes do programa. O estudo identificou que os profissionais do PSF, por mais que tenham uma vis?o positiva e ampliada do conceito de sa?de e do SUS, n?o t?m uma compreens?o da cadeia total do sistema integrado, hierarquizado e regionalizado, o que dificulta sua atua??o junto aos usu?rios. O PSF incorpora e reafirma os princ?pios b?sicos do SUS; no entanto, no seu cotidiano ainda n?o rompeu totalmente com o modelo curativo, refor?ado pela cultura hospitaloc?ntrica e medicoc?ntrica.
