Resumo A colaboração interprofissional sugere compartilhamento de ação orientada por objetivos comuns. Analisá-la no Projeto Saúde e Prevenção na Escola (PSPE) enquanto dispositivo da promoção da saúde é relevante pelo estímulo à responsabilidade partilhada e à intersetorialidade, valor e princípio da Política Nacional de Promoção da Saúde (PNPS). Estudo de caso realizado em uma cidade de médio porte, no Nordeste brasileiro, cujas fontes foram documentos e questionários aplicados a participantes, subsidiado pelo Modelo de Colaboração interprofissional de D’Amour et al. Com base nas dimensões e indicadores avaliados, identificou-se que os articuladores do PSPE orientam-se por objetivos comuns; o planejamento das ações não se orienta pelas necessidades dos escolares; existem poucas oportunidades para que os integrantes interajam; evidencia-se confiança na capacidade dos outros em assumirem responsabilidades; a infraestrutura não é usada adequadamente; a liderança é pouco impactante; existem processos de capacitação para os integrantes; os encontros dos integrantes do PSPE priorizam discussões específicas e os acordos formais estão em processos de negociação.

Abstract Inter-professional collaboration implies that there is a sharing of activities with a view to meeting a common goal. This theme was analyzed in the ‘Health and Prevention in Schools’ project (known as PSPE in the Portuguese) as a health promotion device. The aim was to encourage the sharing of ideas and information as well as intersectoral responsibilities and values in adherence to the principles of the National Policy for Health Promotion (PNPS). This was a case study conducted in a medium-sized city, in the northeast of Brazil. Our sources of information came from documents and questionnaires that had been applied to and taken from participants. We used the Inter-professional Collaboration Model designed by D’Amour et al. Based on the dimensions and indicators that were assessed, we identified that the project workers in the PSPE were guided by common goals. We noted that: their planning of actions was not guided by the needs of students, there were few opportunities for members to interact, there was evidence of their having confidence in the ability of others to take on responsibilities, infrastructures were not used properly and the leadership that we studied had little impact. We also noted that there were training processes for members. Our results showed that the level of inter-professional collaboration was at the level of “in development”.
