Abstract

From the report of a scene lived in an interdisciplinary activity of the Nutrition Course of the Universidade Federal de São Paulo, campus Baixada Santista (Federal University of São Paulo, Baixada Santista campus), some aspects of health care for the training of nutritionists were discussed. In this training experience, the construction and execution of care projects for a family, composed of the mother and four children, have raised questions about the care in vulnerable situations, including food, for all students, regardless of the training area. The use of food surveys and anthropometric data for nutritional diagnosis lost meaning in the complexity of the family's life and health condition, the possible food insecurity situation and the perspective of care based on interdisciplinary and intersectoral actions. Based on the diagnosis of dyslexia in children, the social construction of health and the possible pathologization of life were topics of discussion among students, teachers and health team. We concluded that this strategy of interdisciplinary training causes the questioning of decontextualized diagnoses and care actions that reinforce the vulnerable life and health conditions, which result in prescriptive professional practices with little resolution. It is not a matter of devaluating the use of protocols, techniques and prescriptions in health care, in the training and professional practice of nutritionists, but in giving meaning to their use.
