ABSTRACT
O objetivo da pesquisa aqui apresentada foi identificar as necessidades e as fragilidades do atendimento inicial ao público do Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU 192) pelos telefonistas auxiliares de regulação médica (TARMs), a partir dos profissionais telefonistas e gestores do serviço. A importância deste estudo está relacionada à necessidade de implementar capacitação periódica destes profissionais telefonistas de nível médio, para um melhor atendimento à população gaúcha que faz uso deste serviço. O referencial teórico abordou a educação profissional em saúde com os pesquisadores da área da educação que estudam o ensino profissional na perspectiva do materialismo histórico, como Ricardo Antunes (2002), Gaudêncio Frigotto (2006), Maria Ciavatta (2006), Isabel Pereira (2006), Dermeval Saviani (2007), Marise Ramos (2006; 2009; 2010; 2014), Acácia Kuenzer (2017) e apresentou o SAMU, as Centrais de Regulação, o NEU e o papel dos TARMs. Considerando essa realidade, realizou-se, portanto, uma pesquisa de campo, do tipo exploratória, descritiva, e que utilizou o método qualitativo. O estudo foi composto por 3 etapas e envolveu 3 grupos de sujeitos distintos, a saber: os Telefonistas do SAMU Estadual, os servidores do Núcleo de Educação em Urgência e os Coordenadores do SAMU Estadual. Para tanto, partindo de análises de entrevistas coletadas na Central de Regulação do SAMU Estadual, propôs-se, como produto educacional, uma sequência didática de um curso de capacitação para os Telefonistas da Central de Regulação do SAMU Estadual, utilizando a tecnologia do "Google Sala de Aula". A intenção da pesquisa foi propiciar a visibilidade dos TARMs, trabalhadores com escolarização de nível médio, pela comunidade geral e acadêmica, apresentando a importante função social daqueles profissionais e a necessidade de compromisso dos gestores em propiciar um trabalho de qualidade e eficiência.(AU)
