ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Precisely determining the aspects related to an instrument's validity and reliability measures allows for greater assurance of the quality of the results. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the psychometric properties of The Providers Survey in the Brazilian context of mental health services. DESIGN AND SETTING: The instrument validation study was conducted in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS: The validation study was conducted using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments checklist to analyze its validity and reliability. RESULTS: A committee of expert judges performed content validation after which the Content Validity Index was calculated. Construct validation took place through Exploratory Factor Analysis using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Test criterion and Bartlett's Sphericity Test. Reliability was verified using test-retest reliability. The significance level adopted for the statistical tests was 5% (P < 0.05). The final instrument comprised 54 questions. The Content Validity Index was 97%. Exploratory Factor Analysis identified a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin index of 0.901 and Bartlett's Sphericity Test with P < 0.001. We obtained a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.95 and an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.849. CONCLUSIONS: The Providers Survey, translated and adapted into Portuguese, was named the Work Assessment Instrument for the Recovery of Mental Health. It presented adequate psychometric properties for evaluating work-related practices for the recovery of psychosocial care network users.

Resumo O presente estudo objetiva discutir o conhecimento e as práticas dos profissionais da Atenção Primária à Saúde sobre os modos de interação disciplinar. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de abordagem qualitativa, com a proposta metodológica da Cartografia, em que foram realizados quatro grupos focais com a participação de 33 profissionais, dentre eles médicos, enfermeiros e cirurgiões-dentistas, de equipes de Saúde da Família (eSF). A partir de um mapeamento cartográfico, foi possível perceber que o contexto do trabalho das eSF pode ser representado pelo plano de forma, que é afetado pelo plano de forças, gerando inter-relações. A partir destas, emergem os modos de interação disciplinar como linha de escape, produzindo novos agenciamentos, caracterizados pelas perspectivas e proposições elencadas pelos profissionais. Por meio desse mapeamento, ficou evidente a importância dos modos de interação disciplinar na prática das eSF como resposta, principalmente, à micropolítica do trabalho vivo em saúde, com centralidade nas tecnologias leves.

Abstract The present study aims to discuss the knowledge and practices of Primary Health Care professionals about the modes of disciplinary interaction. It is a descriptive study, with qualitative approach following the methodological proposal of cartography, in which we ran four focus groups with the participation of 33 professionals, among them doctors, nurses and dental surgeons who are part of Family Health teams (FHt). With a cartographic mapping, it was possible to see that the work context of the FHt can be represented by the plan of form, which is affected by the plan of forces, generating interrelationships. From this, the modes of disciplinary interaction emerge as a line of escape, producing new assemblages characterized by the perspectives and proposals listed by the professionals. Through this mapping, the importance of the modes of disciplinary interaction in the FHt practice was evident, mainly as a response to the micropolitics of living labor in health with a focus on lightweight technologies.
