Abstract:

Based on interviews with physiotherapists, we explored the arguments produced by them about their actions and the relationships of a change that has been taking place in the profile of illness in children, we see an increase in the prevalence of complex chronic conditions. Structured in a qualitative approach, the data were generated based on two provocative affirmations that generated arguments by the professionals. The analysis of the data revealed speeches that can be referred to as results of power disputes over the expertise in this new field of knowledge. In order to feel recognized and valued, the physiotherapist seeks to affirm himself through his knowledge and approach to other professional categories, especially medicine. However, we see that the professional uses a simpler discourse with family and caregivers, creating a bond of trust and identification with them, which facilitates their care and access to children. We point out the need for the hospital environment to be recognized as a place for action of other categories, in addition to Medicine and Nursing, and the enphasis on training in pediatric physiotherapy.
