RESUMO
A aprovação da Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares dá subsídios para implantar a Terapia Comunitária no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), visando desenvolver nos profissionais e nas lideranças comunitárias as competências necessárias para lidar com as demandas psicossociais e promover redes de apoio social, ampliando a resolutividade da Atenção Básica. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever a representação social sobre o Terapeuta comunitário elaborada por profissionais de saúde da rede SUS. Participaram 27 profissionais que realizaram a formação em Terapia Comunitária oferecida em 2009 pela Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de Santa Catarina em parceria com o Ministério da Saúde. A coleta de dados utilizou a entrevista individual semidirigida e a análise foi realizada por meio da classificação hierárquica descendente. Os resultados revelam que existe uma representação social dos profissionais sobre o que é ser terapeuta comunitário, entendido como alguém que humaniza as relações interpessoais no setor saúde. No entanto, os profissionais da Atenção Primária são legatários de um modelo de prática grupal menos horizontalizado que os profissionais da Atenção Secundária, nesse trabalho representada pelos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS).
ABSTRACT
The approval of the National Policy of Integrative and Complementary Practices fosters the provision of Community Therapy in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). This initiative seeks to develop the necessary competencies to attend to the psychosocial demands in the professionals and the community leadership and to build support networks in order to extend the efficacy of Primary Health Care. This study aims to describe the social representation on the community therapist prepared by health care professionals employed at SUS. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 professionals who were trained in Community Therapy in 2009 by the State Health Department of Santa Catarina in partnership with the Ministry of Health. Data analysis was carried out by descending hierarchical classification. The results revealed that there is a social representation among the professionals regarding what it signifies to be a community therapist, seen as someone who humanizes interpersonal relations in the health care sector. However, Primary Health Care professionals still subscribe to a less horizontalized group practice model than professionals working at the secondary level of care, represented in this study by the Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS).
