Trabalho em saúde e serviço social: reflexões acerca dos valores expressos no cotidiano da residência multiprofissional em saúde

Abstract

This study was conducted with the purpose of reflecting how professional values are expressed in the daily work of social workers within the scope of the Health Policy, focusing on the Multiprofessional Health Residency Programs (RMS) at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (HU-UFJF/EBSERH). We understand that the training process in the Residencies enables a suspension of daily routines and triggers reflections on their constitutive elements through the theoretical and theoretical-practical axes developed in this postgraduate modality. Daily life is a space where ethical issues and potential professional conflicts emerge, permeated by values placed on bourgeois sociability. That way, the following question was posed: Do social workers internalize the emancipatory hegemonic values advocated by their professional category, or do they reproduce practices and values aligned with a conservative logic or even engage in "self-deception" within the realm of immediacy and superficiality characteristic of daily routines? With the aim of unveiling these issues, this dissertation was developed based on qualitative research, marked by a critical perspective of reality analysis, understanding it as a totality from the Marxist theory. The proposed analytical approach grounds the discussion by articulating the constitutive elements of everyday work in healthcare with the professional demands placed on social workers in this field. Our research was based on a bibliographic review, mapping academic productions related to the topic in books and scientific articles; research in periodic platforms within the field of Social Work, available on the ABEPSS website; as well as theses and dissertations from the Capes Catalog. The field research was conducted through a focus group with resident social workers to highlight the limits and possibilities of intervention in alignment with the values that guide the Professional Ethical-Political Project. The results highlighted the critical quality of the professional stance adopted by the residents at the UFJF University Hospital when confronting the challenges posed by the concrete realities of daily work in health settings.
