Descrição
Resumo:This work intends to report the experience of implementing the group entitled "Mental Health and Work" carried out with the workers of the Basic Family Health Unit (BFHU), located in the João XXIII district, from the city of Caico-RN. Eleven meetings were held between April and August 2020, conducted by professionals who are members of the Multiprofessional Residency Program in Primary Care at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. The group generated a space for welcoming, dialogue and reflection, focusing on the relationship between mental health and work, especially focused on professional performance in the pandemic context. In addition to the conversation circles, group dynamics, game days, film sessions, stretching, among other activities, were carried out in order to identify the needs of professionals and intervene in the necessary themes. The group's actions made it possible to confirm the influence of the pandemic on the mental health of BFHU workers. The main factors cited as a cause of suffering associated with work in the pandemic were: fear of contracting the virus and transmitting it to family members; increase in the number of severe cases and deaths; lack of national structure to provide assistance to serious cases; shortage of personal protective equipment; lack of treatment/cure for the disease; impact of isolation on social life; denialist behaviors towards the disease; and the disadvantages of information overload, including the spread of so-called "fake news". Given the participants' reports, the actions generated positive results, promoting the strengthening of bonds, the re-signification of their experiences and the collective construction of alternatives for coping. It was found that the activities developed were useful to promote health and quality of life at work, enabling the identification of potentially sickening factors and coping strategies, as well as strengthening the bond of the multidisciplinary residency with the team of the Basic Family Health Unit. It is essential to make feasible the execution of actions aimed at the mental health of Primary Care workers, preferably planned with elements to guarantee the longitudinality and sustainability of the proposal.
