Processo de adoecimento e hospitalização em pacientes de um hospital público

Abstract

This study is a Residency Conclusion Paper, from the insertion as a Psychology Resident in a Multiprofessional Residency program of a public hospital in the Northeast. In general, the objective was to analyze how the process of illness and hospitalization is experienced by patients admitted to the medical clinic, this being one of the first practice scenarios of the referred residency program. Specifically, we sought to identify: the emotional aspects of the illness and hospitalization process; patients' perceptions of psychological monitoring during the in-hospital period; and, finally, the patients' perceptions about the contributions of monitoring by a multiprofessional team. For this, a semi-structured interview was used and the voluntary participation of five patients, who had their speeches recorded and analyzed through Bardin's content analysis. For these subjects, the hospital sometimes moves as a space that will provide symptom relief and health recovery, and sometimes as an environment that can cause anxiety and distress. Thus, acting in a team in an interprofessional and articulated way is essential, since it expands the possibilities of intervention in the treatment of patients. Therefore, the results from the study can serve as subsidies for the performance of several professionals in the hospital context.
