Abstract(s)
O presente estudo enquadrou-se na problemática dos Cuidados Paliativos Domiciliários, centralizando-se na questão das práticas profissionais dos Assistentes Sociais integrados numa equipa de intervenção específica, nas Equipas Comunitárias de Suporte em Cuidados Paliativos.
Com o aumento da longevidade e o aumento do aparecimento de doenças crónicas foi e é necessária a implementação de novas medidas e de novas abordagens focadas no doente terminal e nas respetivas famílias, para que estes cuidados considerados como especializados e individualizados, sejam prestados com a maior humanização, conforto e qualidade de vida possível. Para isso, são necessários profissionais de saúde especializados de diversas áreas que completam a intervenção paliativa, nomeadamente o Serviço Social, uma área que surge nos Cuidados Paliativos desde o seu aparecimento e que é muito relevante na vida das pessoas que se encontram em redor deste tipo de cuidados. Esta investigação contribui para que haja mais conhecimento e reflexão, no que diz respeito às práticas profissionais destes técnicos, que acabam por ser esquecidos diversas vezes quando falamos na área da Saúde.
Tendo por base uma metodologia qualitativa, assente num enquadramento teórico no qual se aprofundou noções e conceções, pretendeu-se refletir sobre a prática profissional dos Assistentes Sociais baseados nas Equipas Comunitárias de Suporte em Cuidados Paliativos.
The present study focused on the issue of Palliative Care, with its main subject on the professional practices of Social Workers integrated into a specific area of intervention in the Community Support Teams in Palliative Care. With the increase in average life expectancy and the increase in the appearance of chronic diseases it has been necessary to implement new measures and new approaches focused on the terminally ill and their families, so that these specialized and individualized care are provided with the greatest humanization, comfort and life quality possible. For this, specialized health professionals from different areas are required to complete the palliative intervention, namely Social Work. Social Work is an area that has arisen in Palliative Care since its inception and which is very relevant in the lives of people in contact with this type of care. This research contributes to a greater knowledge and reflection regarding the professional practices of these technicians, which end up being forgotten several times, when Health subjects are addressed. Based on a qualitative methodology, based on a theoretical framework in which concepts and concepts were deepened, it was intended to reflect on the professional practice of the Social Workers working within the Community Support Teams in Palliative Care.
