Preceptoria em Serviço Social: um estudo nos hospitais universitários da região Nordeste geridos pela empresa brasileira de serviços hospitalares/EBSERH

Abstract

This thesis is about Preceptorship in Social Work at University Hospitals in the Northeast, run by the Brazilian Hospital Services Company (EBSERH). This is a public company regulated under private law. Transferring the management and execution of the UH's hospital facilities to EBSERH for an undetermined period of time disrupts the eminently public nature of the University and allows the private sector's logic to prevail in this scenario. Therefore, being part of a University Hospital, whose management is under the responsibility of a company ruled by privatist logic, raises concerns and the necessity to reflect on the work of the social worker in preceptorship in an institutional setting in which care takes precedence over teaching. In this context, the general objective of this thesis is to analyze preceptorship in Social Work in the Multiprofessional Residency Programs in the Northeast region linked to the University Hospitals managed by EBSERH. It presents the following specific objectives: to map the academic-professional profile of the social workers who are preceptors in the Residency Programs of the UHs managed by EBSERH in the Northeast region; to identify the working conditions and relations of this group; and to analyze how preceptorship is developed in this space. The research was guided by the dialectical historical materialist method. Regarding the methodology, it consists of a bibliographical review and explanatory research, addressed to 52 reference preceptors from 09 UHs, through a form with a mixed approach, made available through the google forms digital platform. The participation of the 25 professionals was voluntary. The data collected was examined using the Content Analysis method. The research confirmed that preceptorship has been consolidated as a space for replicating technicist practices, as a sidelined activity due to the primacy of care over teaching in the context of the HUs. It is thus necessary to define a policy for supporting and promoting this activity.
