Resumo(s)
Dada a importância de uma boa prática clínica combinada com o carácter bidirecional do
processo terapêutico, os vários riscos associados à profissão e às posteriores consequências
manifestadas, torna-se fundamental encontrar estratégias que contrariem esta tendência mais
negativa e que possam contribuir para um equilíbrio entre a saúde física e mental dos
profissionais da área em Portugal. O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo identificar
as principais estratégias de autocuidado às quais os participantes recorrem no sentido de
minimizar os efeitos do desgaste profissional. Sendo um estudo de natureza qualitativa, a
recolha de dados assentou na realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas e, a sua posterior
análise temática foi efetuada recorrendo ao programa Nvivo 11 Pro que permitiu a
formulação de um sistema hierárquico de categorias. A partir dos resultados obtidos podemos
verificar que os psicólogos se encontram relativamente familiarizados com os riscos
associados à prática de psicologia clínica e aqueles que parecem ser mais referidos pelos
participantes são o desgaste emocional proporcionado pela profissão, o contacto com
população fragilizada e a identificação com as temáticas trazidas pelos pacientes. O principal
impacto destes riscos na vida pessoal dos clínicos está presente sobretudo ao nível da menor
disponibilidade emocional e dos pensamentos recorrentes. Para enfrentar os riscos
identificados, a maioria dos participantes recorre a uma boa rede de apoio social, ao
investimento em momentos de lazer, à prática de exercício físico, à gestão adequada do
tempo e à frequência de práticas de supervisão ou intervisão como principais estratégias de
autocuidado adotadas.
Considering the importance of a good clinical practice combined with the bi-directional nature of the therapeutic process, the various risks associated with the profession and its subsequent consequences, it is essential to find strategies that counter this more negative trend and which can contribute to a balance between the physical and mental health of these professionals in Portugal. The main objective of this investigation is to study the main selfcare strategies that a sample of 10 Portuguese clinical psychologists use to minimize the effects of professional burden. In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews help to collect data. A thematic analysis was performed through the software Nvivo 11 Pro for Windows which allowed the formulation a hierarchical system of categories. According to the results obtained, we verified that psychologists are relatively familiar with the risks associated with the practice of clinical psychology and those that have been cited more frequently are the emotional exhaustion provided by the profession, the conviviality with weakened population and, the identification with the themes brought by the patients. The main impact of these risks on the personal lives of clinical professionals is mainly present at the level of reduced emotional availability and recurrent thoughts. To face the identified risks, most of the participants engage in a good social support network, leisure time, physical exercise, adequate management of time and frequency in supervision or intervention practices as the main strategies adopted for self-care.
