RESUMO
Resumo A Homeopatia é uma prática médica que tem se expandido nos setores público e privado de assistência médica de nosso pais. Pouco se sabe sobre o perfil deste profissional e sobre as características de sua prático. Em 1998 iniciou-se o projeto Perfil do Médico Homeopata. Este trabalho apresenta parte dos resultados obtidos neste projeto, que procurou investigar as razões que levam o médico a buscar a especialização em Homeopatia; aspectos do ato médico incorporados ou modificados após a realização do curso de especialização em Homeopatia e a relação profissional entre o homeopata e outros médicos não homeopatas. Foram utilizados questionários semiestruturados que foram aplicados, na primeira fase a uma amostra casual simples, estratificada por estados, de 110 médicos homeopatas formados entre 1988 e 1998 presentes ao Congresso Brasileiro de Homeopatia de 1998. Na segunda fase questionário semelhante foi enviado por cinco diferentes instituições de ensino de Homeopatia a todos os seus formados no mesmo período, resultando em amostra de 285 médicos que responderam ao questionário enviado. A terceira fase buscou esclarecer e aprofundar, através de entrevistas a onze homeopatas selecionados, aspectos sugeridos pelas fases anteriores. Os resultados aqui apresentados mostram que os médicos buscam a Homeopatia por diversas razões, onde se destacam a insatisfação com os resultados que obtém na sua prática médica, com o tipo de abordagem do doente e da doença que ela lhe propõe e com a falta de recursos para lidar com determinadas queixas; outras razões são a busca de uma medicina que considere o indivíduo em sua totalidade e o fato de terem observado em familiares, pacientes ou em si mesmo, resultados positivos com a Homeopatia.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Homeopathy is a medical practice that has groen steadily in our country, both in the public and private sectors of health assistance. Neverthless, the knowledge about the profile of the homeopathic professional and the characteristics of its practice is very scarce. In 1998 the Homeopathic Doctors Profile Project was started with the purpose of providing information about this issue. Yhis paper presentes part of the results obtained form this Project, whose main goals were to understand the reasons that lead a physician to look for homeopathic specialization to identify the aspects of the physician's professional practice that changed after he concluded his homeopathic specialization to describe the professional relationship between homeopathic and non homeopathic physicians. The investigation was conducted in two differebt phases. In the first phase, 110 homeopathic physicians graduated between 1988 and 1998, selected at random from diferente states of the Union and who had participated in the Brazilian Congresso n Homeopathy in 1998, were submitted to a semi-structured questionnaire. In the second phase, a similar questionnaire was distributed by five diferente homeopathic educational institutions among all of their graduates, resulting in a sample of 285 physicians who answered the questionnaire. In the third phase, eleven homepaths were selected for being interviewed, in order to elucidate some subjects suggested by the previous phases. The results herewith presented show that the physicians looked for homeopathic practice for diferentes reasons, mainly dissatisfaction with the results obtained in their medical practice, the kind of approach to the patient and his disease offered by this practice, and the lack of resources for dealing with certain complaints. Other reasons foud were the search for medical practice that considers the induvidual as a whole and the fact of once having observed good results obtained with homeopathic medicine in relatives, other patients or even in self medication.
