Abstrakt: Aim: to analyze the scientific and popular knowledge of nurses and community health agents (ACS - from the Portuguese Agentes Comunitários de Saúde) of the Family Health units of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Method: study from a hermeneutic-dialectic perspective, where 16 nurses were interviewed and 17 ACS of Health Family Units participated in focal groups from October/2014 to March/2015. Results and discussion: professionals use popular and scientific knowledge in health care, although not always in an articulated way to their professional practice. Some of them do not recognize popular knowledge as legitimate knowledge with power to dialogue and transform their professional practices in dialogue with scientific knowledge. Conclusion: the articulation among the forms of knowledge is presented as a powerful path in the perspective of development of health practices more complete and efficient among nurses and ACS in Family Health Strategy.
