Abstract:

This paper brings the results of a research which main goal was to investigate the use of practical intelligence by an oncology nurse team in a oncological ward, in a hospital in the city of Rio de janeiro, Brazil. We assume that, in spite of the suffering inherent in health work, it can have a creative and potent dimension in the exercise of care, even in the face of the challenges faced by the precarious working conditions, the growing demand of patients and the demands of productivity. Participant observation, in-depth interviews and group interviews were carried out with ed nursing staff. We observe two main forms of manifestation of practical intelligence. The first is the exercise of word and listening. The second, as an exercise in the production of comfort. Such forms of practical intelligence interpenetrate and can not be captured by numbers, indicators, and methods of performance evaluation. They are invisible to instruments that do not go through the word of the workers. We conclude that it is necessary to create collective spaces in health organizations in which managers and workers can express and dialogue on such issues, socially validating this know-how and those experiences of workers.
