Resumo: |
The Community Health Workers (CHW) show themselves to be intriguing actors in what concerns the dialogue between the common knowledge and practice with the medical and scientifical knowledge. By the very nature of their work, they deal with an ethical and humane practice, which is connected to the very exercise of citizenship. However, neither do they possess a Code of Professional Ethics that endorses them, nor are they trained to solve ethical problems related to their daily life. Hence, the goal of this dissertation submitted as a requirement for the Master's degree was to show the perception of the inherently ethical aspects of the CHW who work in the Family Health Teams (FHT) in the city of Rolândia, state of Paraná, Brazil, by the means of a study that was both quantitative and qualitative and of descriptive ethics, hence non-normative. The subjects of said study were 52 (fifty two) female CHW out of the 72 (seventy two) CHW who work in the twelve FHT in that city. For the acquiring of systematic data, two steps were taken: 1) A sociologic and economic questionnaire was applied, followed by 2) a semi-structured interview, in which all CHW were exposed to three theoretical situations that are common in their daily practice, concerning: Systemic hypertension (SH), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and taking care of teenagers. All of their interviews were read and analyzed by the "content analysis" method. Eight thematic axes were identified, allowing their perceptions on daily ethical issues to be comprehended. Even though the participants don't have a code of deontology, they tend to guide their conduct by their own moral principles and did present answers that were considered, most of the times, to be correct. However, every single one of them stated that they believe the existence of such code to be necessary, in example of other professional categories. The interviews revealed the ethical dilemmas that spring from such a close relation to the community and also how these women perceived the complexity of these, otherwise, simple hypothetical situations. The proposed educational measure of intervention is the contextualized training of the CHW that work in Rolândia, which will certainly enhance their capability to take action |
