Abstract
A presente comunicação visa apresentar alguns resultados do projeto de investigação sociológica “Construindo caminhos para a morte: uma análise de quotidianos de trabalho em cuidados paliativos”, financiado pela Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, partindo da sociologia interaccionista, desenvolvida em contexto hospitalar por Glaser e Strauss e da sociologia pragmática na aceção de Boltanski e Thévenot. Para tal, procurar-se-á explorar as narrativas mobilizadas pelos profissionais nas suas dinâmicas de trabalho, ao longo das trajetórias de final de vida dos doentes. Por um lado, através da forma como estes profissionais lidam, nos seus quotidianos, com a complexidade de situações sociais, nomeadamente aquelas que são causadas pela confrontação, ao nível da interação, entre diferentes carreiras experienciais e pessoais relacionadas aos cuidados de final de vida. E, por outro lado, através da forma como os profissionais tentam construir arranjos que possam reduzir este tipo de complexidade com o objetivo de promover o conforto dos pacientes e diminuir o seu sofrimento nas suas trajetórias de final de vida.
This communication aims to present some results of a sociological research project “Building pathways to death: an analysis of everyday work in palliative care”, financed by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology. Departing analytically from Glaser and Strauss’s interactionist sociology and from the pragmatic sociology of Boltanski and Thévenot. For this purpose we aim to explore the narratives mobilized to describe and analyse the ways by which healthcare professionals deal, in palliative care, with complexity in social situations, namely complexity caused by the confrontation, at the level of interaction, between different experiential and personal careers related to end-of-life care, and to understand if and how - if that is the case - professionals try to build arrangements which may reduce that kind of complexity in order to promote patients’ comfort and diminish patients’ suffering in their end-of-life trajectories.
