O trabalho do assistente social na política de atenção à urgência e emergência : uma análise dos desafios profissionais em tempos de neoliberalismo

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the work of Social Workers inserted in the Emergency Care Policy of the SUS, identifying the limits imposed by neoliberal logic. The interest in the subject arose through the experience of supervised internship at UPA Célio Pires de Sá. The experience brought up reflections and questions about the action of Social Work in emergency units, taking into account the dismantling of social policies, counter-reform of the SUS and the constant need to reaffirm the professional ethical-political project. The specific objectives were: To understand the development of the Emergency Care Policy in Brazil; To expose to what extent the precariousness of work has been affecting the work of Social Workers inserted in the Emergency Care Policy; To analyze the importance of reaffirming the Ethical-Political Project.
