Plantão institucional: Relato de experiência de uma intervenção psicológica na UFPR

Abstract

This work describes the implementation and execution of a psychological practice model at the Federal University of Paraná - UFPR. The emergency psychological service was developed as an education, research and extension project conducted through interviews with students who seek for psychological support, performed by fellow trainees. From a historical and cultural perspective, this practice enables the sharing of experiences between students. Psychology apprentices under supervision conduct the project. Twenty-seven undergraduate students were interviewed so the senses attributed by them to the proposed psychological practice model were grasped, which allowed assessing the relevance of continuing with the projects. Results showed a positive sense attributed to peer counseling and the acknowledgement of an institutional emergency psychological care in which the students' issues are listened and given importance. Finally, results also highlight the challenges to the implementation of alternative student assistance services as opposed to the regular indiv idual clinical model.
