Terapia Comunitária Integrativa e os desafios para sua implementação: histórias de enfermeiras

Abstract

It is a qualitative research, made possible by the use of thematic oral story as a methodology. This allowed the knowledge of changes in personal and professional aspects of the nurses who use/used Integrative Therapy Community-ITC as a strategy for care groups in the SFH in João Pessoa, as well as understand the reasons for seeking training in ITC, and the challenges/difficulties in implementing this form of therapy. The study was performed at the FHU Health District III - scenario deployment of ICT in the capital of Paraiba - which contains the largest number of community therapist nurses. The material was produced from interviews with eight participants, and the final text was submitted to an interpretive thematic analysis, which allowed the identification of three themes: motivation of nurses to seek training in Integrative Therapy Community; contribution of ICT training for the personal and professional lives of nurses, and difficulties and challenges for the implementation of ICT in SFH, from the perspective of nurses. These themes guided the dialogue between research findings and literature. All research strictly followed the ethical standards, according to Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council and the documment archiving will be under the custody of UFPB/PPGEnf. The stories of the collaborators revealed that the main reason that drove the nurses to seek the ICT course was the difficulty in developing collective and group activities, emphatically, due to poor technical knowledge base, which could not follow the new requirements of qualified professionals on developing strategies in care that address the aspects of the new paradigm of community health model. The statements show that training in ICT can influence the ways of acting and thinking of the nurses of the SFH, because the theoretical and methodological background recover fragments of their lives, work self-knowledge and awake the resilient being that empowers and allows for better use of their potential, promoting behavioral changes in social relationships and at work. With regard to the difficulties and challenges found in the implementation of ICT, the limitations are structural, historical and functional, among which are: lack of physical structure, the use of traditional methodologies for the development of group activities, motivation of professionals, users' lack of interest, poor participation of the team, work overload and lack of management support. Even with these obstacles, training in ICT has proved an effective instrument of positive change - in the scenario of the SFH, and how care technology - that assists in meeting both individual and in the systematization of any activity/action of collective health education.
