0036/2015 - A estrutura das representações sociais sobre saúde e doença entre membros de movimentos sociais The structure of social representations of health and illness among members of social movements
O estudo buscou analisar as representações sociais de saúde e doença dos integrantes dos movimentos sociais da saúde do Distrito Federal a fim de destacar potencialidades e limitações à ampliação da garantia da integralidade da atenção à saúde. Aplicou-se questionário a 66 participantes para verificar o seu perfil, além do emprego da técnica de associação livre e hierarquização de itens com termo indutor saúde e doença para identificação da estrutura das representações sociais, que foram analisados com o software EVOC (Ensemble de Programmes Permettant l’Analyse des Évocations) versão 2000. Os integrantes dos oito movimentos identificados são majoritariamente adultos jovens, masculinos, militantes há mais de seis anos, que estudaram além do ensino médio, renda acima de dois salários mínimos e usuários do SUS. A estrutura das representações sociais demonstra que o elemento qualidade de vida compõe o núcleo central do termo saúde e o elemento sofrimento do termo doença. As representações sociais do processo saúde-doença indicam avanços na sua concepção, entretanto necessitam ser consubstanciadas na perspectiva do modelo de determinação social. Os movimentos sociais são essenciais para mobilizar a sociedade na definição do padrão de saúde desejável por meio do desenvolvimento de políticas públicas.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to identify the structure of social representations regarding health and illness as expressed by representatives of social movements. The study included 66 members of social movements in the Distrito Federal, Brazil. A questionnaire was applied to obtain the socio-economic profile of the participants and the free association technique was used in order to identify the likely peripheral and central core of the social representations, analyzed by software EVOC (Ensemble de Programmes Permettant l’Analyse des Évocations) version 2000. The study results indicate that the majority of the participants are activists for periods over six years, are male, young adults, with above high school level education, monthly income over two minimum salaries, and are users of the Brazilian Unified Health public system. Concerning the social representations of health structure, it was found that “quality of life” comprised the core system, while in the case of the social representations of illness structure, the core was found to be “suffering”. The study suggests that the respondents´ social representations of health and illness remain distant from a Social Determinants paradigm considered necessary for the assertion of the right to health and for achieving life quality.
