A tendência ao vórtice da desconstrução : reflexão sobre a condição do adoecimento

Abstract

This dissertation is the result of a research that focused on the experience of becoming ill by the nurse professor of the Nursing Faculty (FAEN) at the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT). The objective is to reflect and understand the experience of becoming ill by the nurse professor, reflecting how the disease deconstructs and reconstructs the reality and the identity of the subject, in addition to try to understand how after the onset of an illness, the nurse professor experiences and constitutes this new news about himself. This study had some important guiding questions, while trying to understand the deeper aspects of the experiencing, still questioned how the rupture of an absence from work and removal from the job, caused by illnesses, was related to changes in personal and professional identity. After approval by the Committee of Ethics in Research from HUJM (Protocol. 151/CEP-HUJM/2011), semi-structured interviews were conducted with three professors of FAEN - UFMT, in which, narratives about key aspects were obtained for the effort of reflection on illnesses and resulted in the vision of illnesses as a chaos from a discussion of the philosophical, sociological and historical view up to the analysis and discussion of the narratives. The resulting categories were divided thematically: the construction and deconstruction of the world of the subject, which addresses the socialization and the construction of the professional identity, the social and the job; the changing roles; the disease that afflicts; the disease as representation of pain, and continuous monitoring of the subject's history. The study had theoretical and thematic basis mainly on the authors Friedrich Nietzsche and Claude Dubar, which underlined the composition of the philosophical, sociological and historical discussion of the subject facing the event of illness. This research resulted in the identification of different perspectives of illness, as well as different forms of experiencing this event, helping with the understanding of the organic and social pain by the becoming ill, as intrinsic factors to the experience of illness. In this process, there is a constant construction and reconstruction of oneself towards the reconstruction of the identity and self-sameness of the nurse professor sickened.
