Lidar com substâncias psicoativas: o significado para o trabalhador de enfermagem.

Abstract

This study I have proposed to understand the meaning of dealing with psychoactive substances for nursing workers who work at a medical clinic at a hospital unit. For that, some ideas of phenomenological methodological reference have been used. Interviews have been made from the guiding question, what is dealing with psychoactive substances for you? The speech analysis, revealing that this dealing shows itself to workers, in its essence, a job "as any other", being the emphasis given to doing regarding to reflexive praxis, significant; the fear of talking about "the forbidden", what "compromises" as drugs is focused as a real possibility of use in the workers daily life. These experiences re-affirm the need of reflecting about the drug phenomenon working the inter-subjective experiences to the context of National and International Health Policies favoring professionals to perceive this phenomenon under a more critical and questioning point of view.
