O autoconhecimento e autocuidado na formação interdisciplinar do profissional da saúde: uma jornada simbólica

Abstract

This research presents as a theme the development of self-knowledge and self-care symbolically experienced in the training of health professionals. Using the LILACS, MEDLINE / PUBMED and GOOGLE ACADEMIC platforms, the need for research that pointed to methodologies related to the development of self-knowledge and self-care in health professionals was evidenced. From these data and the training of the researcher as an interdisciplinary educator and psychologist based in Jung, the guiding questions of the research originated: how could the educator contribute to the development of self-knowledge and self-care in the interdisciplinary formation of health professionals? What are the perceptions of undergraduate students in the field of health sciences regarding the development of self-knowledge and self-care during their training? What is the relevance of the researcher to understand the development of their self-knowledge and self-care symbolically experienced during the course of research? Therefore, the main objective was to understand the development of self-knowledge and self-care symbolically experienced in undergraduate courses of the health professional, including as subjects, the researcher and undergraduate students in the area of health sciences. From the metaphor of the lotus flower, made possible by the interdisciplinary perspective with the contribution of the Jungian Symbolic Psychology, the theoretical and methodological path of the research, called symbolic journey, was revealed. Thus, the research presented an interdisciplinary methodological approach, therefore, qualitative and participatory. The methodological instruments were: the narratives of significant symbolic experiences for the researcher during the development of the thesis; the narratives and questionnaires coming from an educational program experienced symbolically with the undergraduate students of the Health Sciences area of the Anhembi-Morumbi University (Unit Mooca / SP), mainly the course of Naturology in the year 2017 and a mapping of perceptions of learning through an online questionnaire, via the Internet, proposed for all students of the Anhembi-Morumbi Naturology Course. As a main result, a symbolic journey was revealed, permeated by self-knowledge and self-care, as a possible path in the interdisciplinary formation of Health Sciences professionals
