The population included 190 healthcare professionals that integrate the family healthcare staff and the data-collection occurred in a meeting at their workplace, with the implementation of a questionnaire. Results were organized in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software, with descriptive statistical analysis in tables, graphs and tables through frequencies, averages values and standard deviations. There is a predominance of females (n = 137) and higher rates in almost all professions, and higher average age (38.9%, SD = 7.8) and income wage (average = 10) in the medical category. Regarding the more developed activities, for physicians and nurses are the healthcare actions in the Unit, the oral hygiene for dentists, the immunization for auxiliary nurses (Aux-N), educational meeting for the dental office assistants (ACD), and home visitations to community-based health workers (ACS). About the easiness of work, 93.2% said to be presence of professionals with a personal profile in public healthcare; about the difficulties, 86.8% of professionals cited the unavailability of material, followed by salary range reported by nurses (80.9% ), dentists (80.0%), physicians (73.3%), ACS (83.1%), and Aux-N (90.5%). In relation to working conditions, the unavailability of materials was the most mentioned, with the exception of dentists who reported improvement in wages. We still identify among these difficulties: the drugs availability regarded as first grade obstacle by ACS and physicians, the type of contracts in second grade cited by the ACD and dentists and, in third grade, the salary range cited by dentists and auxiliary nurses. It is concluded that the difficulties and easiness faced by ESF professionals are divergent among themselves. For physicians and nurses, whose healthcare actions become directed to specific groups, the individual and the family, their difficulties relate to the unavailability of materials. For dentists, whose actions more quoted were topical application of fluoride and supervised toothbrush, their greatest difficulty is the salary range. As to the Aux-N, ACD and ACS, for all of them the unavailability of materials has hindered the implementation of their activities in ESF / Estudo descritivo, quantitativo, com o objetivo de analisar as facilidades e dificuldades vivenciadas pelos profissionais da Estrat?gia de Sa?de da Fam?lia (ESF) do Munic?pio de Cear?-Mirim, RN. A popula??o incluiu 190 profissionais de sa?de que integram as equipes de sa?de da fam?lia e a coleta de dados ocorreu no local de trabalho ap?s reuni?o com a aplica??o de um question?rio. Os resultados foram organizados em planilha excel, com an?lise estat?stica descritiva em tabelas, gr?ficos e quadros atrav?s de freq??ncias, m?dias e desvio padr?o. H? predomin?ncia do sexo feminino (n=137) e ?ndices maiores em quase todas as profiss?es, e maior m?dia de idade (38,9% e DP= 7,8) e renda salarial (m?dia = 10) na categoria m?dica. Quanto ?s atividades mais desenvolvidas, para m?dicos e enfermeiros s?o as a??es do cuidado em sa?de na Unidade, higiene bucal para os odont?logos, imuniza??o para os auxiliares de enfermagem (Aux. Enf.) reuni?o educativa para os auxiliares de consult?rio dent?rio (ACD), e visita domiciliar para os agentes comunit?rios de sa?de (ACS). Sobre as facilidades do trabalho, 93,2% referiram ser a presen?a de profissionais com perfil em sa?de s?blica; quanto ?s dificuldades, 86,8% dos profissionais citaram ? indisponibilidade de material, seguidas da faixa salarial referida por enfermeiros (80,9%), odont?logos (80,0%), m?dicos (73,3%), ACS (83,1%) e Aux. e Enf. (90,5%). Em rela??o ?s condi??es de trabalho, a indisponibilidade de materiais foi a mais citada com exce??o dos odont?logos que referiram a melhoria salarial. Identifica-se ainda, entre essas dificuldades: a disponibilidade de medicamentos considerada como grau um de empecilho pelos ACS e pelo m?dico, a modalidade de v?nculo contratual em grau dois citada pelo ACD e o odont?logo; e em grau tr?s, a faixa salarial citada pelos odont?logos e auxiliares de enfermagem. Conclui-se, que ?s dificuldades e facilidades enfrentadas pelos profissionais da ESF s?o divergentes entre si. Para os m?dicos e enfermeiros, cujas a??es em sa?de centralizam-se no atendimento aos grupos espec?ficos, ao indiv?duo e a fam?lia, as suas dificuldades relacionam-se a indisponibilidade de materiais. Para os odont?logos, cujas a??es mais citadas foram aplica??o t?pica de fl?or e escova??o supervisionada, sua dificuldade maior ? a faixa salarial. Quanto ao aux. de enf., ACD e ACS para todos eles, a indisponibilidade de materiais tem dificultado a realiza??o das suas atividades na ESF
