O presente trabalho de investigação teve como propósito compreender a
interdisciplinaridade como modelo de intervenção nas equipas da Rede Nacional de
Cuidados Continuados Integrados (RNCCI), dando especial enfoque à influência de fatores
de ordem profissional nas relações interprofissionais.
Mais concretamente, pretendeu-se compreender a perceção dos profissionais relativamente
à interdisciplinaridade, captando nos seus discursos o modo como racionalizam os fatores
de ordem profissional envolvidos nas dinâmicas interacionais inerentes ao trabalho
interdisciplinar. Pretendeu-se, ainda, compreender a perceção dos profissionais acerca do
seu próprio papel e do papel dos outros profissionais da equipa, por se acreditar que
influencia a predisposição para as dinâmicas interacionais facilitadoras da
interdisciplinaridade. E, por último, procurou-se saber qual a satisfação dos profissionais
com o desempenho da própria equipa como forma de “medir” o impacto dos desafios
emergentes da convivência entre especialistas de diferentes áreas do saber no contexto da
RNCCI.
A análise dos dados recolhidos põe em evidência que a interdisciplinaridade não é um
empreendimento simples na medida em que põe lado a lado, numa forte relação de
interdependência, uma diversidade de saberes profissionais, que nos seus contextos mais
tradicionais de intervenção não convive habitualmente. O nível de interação profissional
requerida pelo trabalho interdisciplinar, coloca assim alguns desafios relacionados com a
discussão sobre o status, as diferenças de linguagens e valores profissionais, os quais derivam dos processos de socialização das profissões, constituindo por isso uma
determinada “visão do mundo” fortemente enraizada.
Por outro lado, os dados recolhidos apontam para a relevância que a clarificação dos papéis
profissionais assume, facilitando as dinâmicas requeridas pela interdisciplinaridade e
constituindo, ela mesma, uma estratégia indispensável para a colaboração interprofissional.
A presente investigação é um estudo de natureza qualitativa, exploratória, descritiva e
compreensiva, ao longo do qual se utilizaram as estratégias de investigação indutiva e
abdutiva. Optou-se pela utilização de uma abordagem etnográfica, com recurso às técnicas
de Entrevista e Observação, considerando o potencial das mesmas na captação das
dinâmicas relacionais e seus significados para os atores. Adotou-se ainda como modelo de
investigação, sobretudo na fase de análise dos dados, a Grounded Theory, tendo sido a
codificação teórica o procedimento escolhido para realizar a análise das entrevistas.
This research work had the purpose to understand the interdisciplinarity as a model of intervention on teams in the National Network for Integrated Continuous Care (RNCCI), giving special emphasis to the influence of professional issues in the interprofessional relations. More specifically, we intended to understand the perception of professionals regarding the interdisciplinarity, capturing in their speeches how they rationalize some professional issues involved in the interactional dynamics inherent to interdisciplinary work. It was also intended to understand the perception of professionals about their own role and the role of other professionals in the team, because it is believed that it influences predisposition to interactional dynamics that make easy the interdisciplinarity. Finally, we tried to recognize the professionals satisfaction with the performance of the team itself as a way to "measure" the impact of the emerging challenges of coexistence among specialists from different areas of knowledge in the context of RNCCI. Analyzing this collected data, it demonstrates that interdisciplinarity is not a simple undertaking, because it puts side by side in a strong interdependent relationship, a diversity of professional knowledge, which in most of traditional contexts of intervention, does not happens normally. The professional level of interaction required by interdisciplinary work put some challenges related to the discussion about the status, the different languages and professional values, which derived from the socialization processes of professions and is therefore a particular “worldview” strongly rooted. Moreover, the collected data shows the relevance that the clarification of professional roles assumed by facilitating the dynamics required by interdisciplinarity, constituting itself an indispensable strategy for interprofessional collaboration. This research is a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and comprehensive study, where were used inductive and abdutive research strategies. It was used an ethnographic approach, using interview and observation techniques considering their potential in capture the relational dynamics and their meanings to the social actors. It was also used as a research model, the Grounded Theory, and the theoretical coding as the procedure to analyze interviews.
