OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the dynamics and establish the emotional map of 8 primary care teams. DESIGN: Descriptive, cross-sectional and multi-site study. SETTING: Primary care centers in Granada, Cádiz and Málaga, Spain. PARTICIPANTS: Simple random sampling of 8 health centers and 272 primary care professionals. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: A self administered questionnaire with 10 Likert-type questions. Answers were classified by items, media and mode. RESULTS: Leadership is not integrated (0.42 points). Relationships between workers show rivalry, burnout and little sensation of being part of a team, but they are united by support and trust. There is a moderate enthusiasm of team objectives (1.36 points). Professional self esteem is generally positive (1.89 points). CONCLUSIONS: Emotional climate of the teams recorded medium values. Aspects as regards integrating leadership and increased enthusiasm towards the common work project need to be improved, following the inter-professional collaborative care model.
