O trabalho da/o assistente social no âmbito da saúde em tempos de pandemia : Um estudo a partir do trabalho profissional no Hospital Universitário Júlio Bandeira.

Abstract

This work focuses on the investigation of the work of social workers at the Hospital Universitário Júlio Bandeira (HUJB), based on the assumption that, with the Coronavirus pandemic, the precariousness of work has been accentuated, and that this has been reflected in the performance of the /the professional. Therefore, in an attempt to meet the research objectives, a bibliographical review was carried out of authors that address the category of precarious work, the transformations arising in the pandemic context, health policy and Social Work, such as: Antunes (2020; 2015; 2003), Bravo (2020; 2006) Mészáros (2011), Marx (1988; 2004), Iamamoto (1998; 2009; 2002), among others, in addition to articles from websites about current affairs. The approach used is quantitative and qualitative, using a semi-structured interview as instrumental, applied with a previous script which will guide the conversation and data analysis based on content analysis. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis that there was precariousness with the advent of the pandemic, negatively reflected in the daily lives of professionals, reaching both the objective and subjective aspects of the worker. Furthermore, social workers are faced with the insertion of technology, a novelty within the profession that transforms the work process.
