DEMANDS RELATED TO HEALTH OF FAMILY AGRICULTURE: WORK PROCESSESS AS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS

In 2006, the National Forum for Family Agriculture (FONAF, according to Spanish acronym), issued a series of documents showing the lack of access to quality health services as a limit for the development of families in the country. Within this frame and in connection with the definition of public polices for the sector, between 2013 and 2016 a case study was carried out in Department Paclin (center east area of the province of Catamarca, Argentina) in order to get to know and analyze disease-health-care processes of the families included in the area of family agriculture. The focus of this work is to characterize agricultural family work in order to understand how these processes together with the characteristics concerning health systems become social determinants of health. Thus, people's knowledge and practices concerning their own health searches oriented to self-care, prevention and care in a context marked by productive, domestic and voluntary work are recovered. The authors present a detail of the methodology, considering some theoretical references oriented to data collection during field work, in order to present results and discussion in view of the health-disease-care processes that they reconstructed.
