The study sought to describe Mozambican women's experience of labour pain. The study sought to determine the manner in which labour pain is perceived and to determine the culturally acceptable behaviour of Mozambican women as they experience labour pain. The preferred pain relief measures and cultural practices and beliefs pertaining to labour pain by this cultural group were also studied. The major inferences drawn from this study are that during labour, Mozambican women mainly respond stoically to the experience of labour. They also exhibited different kinds of behaviour in response to labour pain, such as rubbing the painful site, tossing about in bed, and verbalisation. The implication of the study is that Swazi nurse-midwives should render culture congruent maternity care to the women during labour. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

In der vorliegenden Arbeit mit dem Titel „Ästhetische Erfahrung und Bildung – eine phänomenologische, bildungstheoretische und pädagogische Neubetrachtung“ steht das Phänomen der ästhetischen Erfahrung im Mittelpunkt. Ausgehend von einer phänomenologisch orientierten Beschreibung, Analyse und Interpretation konkreter Erfahrungen (musikalische Hörerfahrung und alimentäre Erfahrung) wird die zentrale These belegt, dass das Ästhetische sich erst in der Erfahrung der Zeit als Verweilen konstituieren kann. Im ästhetischen Verweilen kann sich der Eigensinn ästhetischer Erfahrung eröffnen, indem das Sinnlich-Leibliche zeitweilig und imaginativ überschritten wird. So hebt sich das ästhetische Verweilen aus der Zeit des Alltäglichen heraus und bringt einen gewissen Bruch in das objektive, lineare und messbare Zeitverhältnis ein. Das Ereignis des ästhetischen Verweilens, das passive Momente aufweist, kann eine ästhetische Reflexivität ermöglichen, die das Verhältnis des Menschen zur Zeit und zugleich zu den Objekten und Situationen erfahrbar werden lässt, in denen das Verweilen stattfindet. Das temporale Distanzverhältnis des Menschen zur Zeit kann nicht zuletzt als eine ästhetische Freiheit erfahren werden, d. h. als eine Freiheit in der Zeit und für die Zeit. Die zentrale These der Arbeit wird ferner an einer klassischen Position innerhalb der Tradition der ästhetischen Erziehung und Bildung (Schiller) geprüft und geschärft. Dabei rückt das Verhältnis von ästhetischer Erfahrung, Erziehung und Bildung in den Vordergrund. Darauf bezogen werden ästhetische Erziehung und ästhetische Bildung als zwei unterschiedliche aber zugleich aufeinander bezogene Praxen des Umgangs mit der Zeit bestimmt und in ihrem Wechselspiel pädagogisch fruchtbar gemacht. / This dissertation, entitled “Aesthetic Experience and Bildung – a phenomenological, theoretical and pedagogical reconsideration”, focuses on the phenomenon of aesthetic experience. On the basis of a phenomenologically oriented description, analysis and interpretation of concrete experiences (the experience of musical listening and the experience of eating and drinking), this work tries to show that the aesthetic can be first constituted in the experience of time as experience of lingering (Verweilen). The inherent logic of aesthetic experience can emerge in the aesthetic lingering due to an imaginative and temporal transgression of the sensual-bodily. Thus, the experience of aesthetic lingering stands out from everyday time and breaks to an extent with the objective, linear and measurable relationship of time. The event of aesthetic lingering, which exhibits passive moments, can make aesthetic reflexivity possible. Aesthetic reflexivity enables human beings to experience their relationship to time and, at the same time, to the objects and situations in which they linger. The temporal distance relationship to time can be also experienced as an aesthetic freedom, i.e. as a freedom in the experience of time and for experiencing time. Furthermore, the central thesis of the work will be examined and sharpened with regard to a classical position within the tradition of aesthetic education (Schiller). In doing so, the relationship between aesthetic experience, education and Bildung comes to the fore. A pedagogical perspective on this relationship is developed defining aesthetic education (ästhetische Erziehung) and aesthetic formation (ästhetische Bildung) as two different practices of dealing with time, which are both dependent on the experience of the aesthetic.

The 2010 Fédération Internationale de Football Association’s (FIFA) World Cup (WC) would be the first time that a FIFA WC would be hosted on the African continent. This study was aimed at describing the South African City of Tshwane (COT) general volunteers’ experiences of volunteering at the 2010 FIFA WC. The FIFA Volunteer Programme consists of two groups of volunteers: Local Organising Committee (LOC) volunteers and each Host City (HC) volunteers. The COT volunteers are HC volunteers from the Tshwane Metropolitan Area (TMA). Volunteers are active in a variety of different contexts, namely in the community, volunteers at sport clubs or schools and also at mega sport events. Volunteers make it possible to host a mega sport event because they provide their time and effort without expecting remuneration or they receive a stipend amount. The existing literature of volunteers at mega sport events investigated what motivated volunteers to participate as well as how satisfied the volunteers were with the experience. The aim of this study was to describe COT general volunteers’ experiences of preparing (preparation phase) for the 2010 FIFA WC; COT general volunteers’ experiences during (participation phase) the 2010 FIFA WC, as well as the South African COT general volunteers’ experiences on their involvement (reflection phase) at the 2010 FIFA WC was described. The methodology employed in this study was Descriptive Phenomenology and the Duquesne Phenomenological Research Method was used to analyse the material. The differences between Descriptive Phenomenology and Interpretive Phenomenology were described. The material consisted of a written account as well as an interview, which was based on the essences that were portrayed in the written accounts. There were five participants — three spectator services volunteers and two rights protection volunteers. All of the participants were female. The findings of this study were divided into the preparation phase, participation phase and the reflection phase. In the preparation phase the COT general volunteers described two essences namely, the application process and training. In the participation phase the COT general volunteers experienced four essences namely, the working of shifts, interaction with volunteers, interaction with supervisors and lastly interaction with tourists. In the reflection phase the volunteers described two experiences, growth and value. This research project contributes to sport psychology because this study describes the experiences of volunteers at the 2010 FIFA WC. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Psychology / unrestricted

Female baby boomer students (born 1946-1964) need to augment their skills in mobile collaborative learning because current knowledge of technologies is essential for making informed decisions. The purpose of this study was to determine the need to promote technologies based on the experiences of female baby boomer students. Andragogy and constructivism provided the conceptual framework for this research. The research questions were devised to investigate female boomer students' collaborative experiences using smart devices and barriers to their adoption of technology. This phenomenological study included 8 participants from a Canadian university recruited through purposeful sampling. Per the Modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method, data were simultaneously collected via interviews, analyzed by coding, and organized into themes until saturation. Age was the main deterrent for technology adoption, and obstacles included embracing a new process, feeling that information was secure, and resolving technical difficulties. Results indicated that female baby boomer students were not ready to lead in the use of mobile collaborative learning and could not maintain rapid technological changes. Mature students may need training in cloud computing; a 1-semester blended course was proposed to enable these students to learn mobile technologies and collaborative skills. This study identifies the technology learning needs of baby boomer students, which will help those looking for ways to teach students in this age range. When leaders in their field of study know how to use current technologies, they will be more productive in their communities.

According to the United States Department of Education, approximately 4,172,347 four year olds are eligible to attend publicly funded preschool programs. Of this number, only 1,709,607 of those eligible are enrolled in a publicly funded preschool program (U.S. Department of Education, 2014). Because of a lack of quantitative and qualitative data regarding parents' positive and negative attitudes and beliefs about preschool, misconceptions arise regarding parental decisions to support or not to support their child's academic, social and emotional development prior to kindergarten. In a large urban district in the southeastern part of the United States, this qualitative phenomenological study investigated the perceptions of 12 parents, six of whom elected and six of whom did not elect to send their children to preschool, and the lived experiences that contributed to those decisions. Unanswered questions linger about why so few children attend preschool. Further, the study examined the relationship between parent attitudes and beliefs about preschool and whether or not their lived experiences contributed to their perceptions of the values of preschool. The conceptual framework for this study was based on Glasser's (1998) concept of an individual's quality world. Data were collected from initial and follow up interviews. Moustakas' (1994) modified van Kaam (2011) method was used to analyze the data, including listing and preliminary grouping, reduction and elimination, clustering and thematizing, and for a final identification of the invariant constituents and themes. Findings from the study revealed that participants encountered both positive and negative experiences that contributed to their decisions about preschool. Participants also believed that academic readiness skills, social emotional development, and parental involvement were values of preschool. / Ed. D.

The research has worked towards the general aim of generating a synthesis of burnout in the nursing profession, and also towards coming to a synthesis of burnout in nursing from the perspective of the salutogenic paradigm. Existing knowledge from the literature has been consolidated and integrated, and 'new knowledge' of the phenomenological experience of the causes and symptoms of burnout and how nurses stay healthy, were presented. Firstly was discovered that burnout, over time is caused by various factors that are individual and personal and therefore not easily discovered by other than the phenomenological method, where the life world of each individual is described. Secondly, the study ofthe strengths that nurses exhibit in order to manage the tension and stress in their lives and not to succumb to illness, proved to be a sound and descriptive paradigm with great utilisation possibilities. Three answers to the salutogenic question, namely sense of coherence, hardiness and learned resourcefulness were presented in great detail. Thirdly, it was stated that the individual nurses and the nursing practice in general be made aware of: (1) the existence of burnout, (2) the contributing factors to burnout, (3) the various manifestations ofburnout at work and in the organisation, and (4) the coping strategies available to counter this problem in a positive and salutogenic manner. The phenomenological results of this research revealed a number of issues that have implications for both the prevention and treatment of burnout in nurses. The results especially established how nurses can operationalise their inherent salutogenic qualities. Specific salutogenic coping strategies emerged via the respondents. The research took a broad view of personality in health research. It studied the psychological processes underlying the observed connections between psychological variables and health outcomes. In order to study the operationalisation of these processes, a phenomenological, person-based approach was followed. They study focussed on health phenomena and the individual nurse was retained as the unit of analysis. This approach represented a movement away from a fragmented science, infatuated with technology and linked to a singular epistemology, towards a focus on the process and dynamics of personal experience. / Psychology / D.

The purpose was to collect subsidies to be used in educating teachers for instructional contexts which aim at developing practices focused on education for that age group, providing the elderlies not only with integral development, but also equal opportunities and social inclusion. The relevance of this work is primarily, the worldwide growth interest in the social life of the elderly. This research discussed the increase in longevity in the world (Frias, 1998; Goldman, 2001; Kalache and Kickbusch, 1997; Veras, 1995), Gerontology (Cachioni, 2003; Hayflick, 1996; Neri, 1995; Papaléo Netto, 1996), Education (Canary, 2000; Case, 2000; Delors et al., 1999, Freire, 1996; Giubilei, 1993, Lima, 2001, Rogers, 1969; Sobral, 2001, Vygotsky, 1978), The Open Universities of The Third Age (Jordan Neto, 2001; Martins de Sá, 1991; Vella, 1997) and teacher education (Kenski, 2001, Monteiro, 2000, Moraes, 1997; Perrenoud, 2002) for those who are aging. To carry out the research, I used the hermeneutic-phenomenological approach (van Manen, 1990; Freire, 2007); including researching on interpretations of learning from students and teachers, mature adults and elderly, on this phase of their lives. In addition, this research tried to show what the nature of learning in old age in two Open Universities is. The gathered texts consisted of sixteen transcribed interviews with students and teachers, mature adults and elderly of two open universities. From the descriptions and interpretations of the experiences of these individuals, it was possible to identify the nature of the phenomenon. However, it should be emphasized that, throughout the interpretation process, the texts collected indicated that, against the initial intention, the target phenomenon was, in fact, the search in The Open University by senior citizens. When I reached the essence of the phenomenon, I identified the themes that structured this search, which are learning, welfare, pastime and relationships. These themes can be used as a basis for further researches. They can be and should continue being the prime objective of those who work or will work at institutions in which there are people from an age segment that most grows in the society we live / Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo descrever e interpretar o fenômeno do aprender para os alunos adultos maduros e idosos de duas Universidades Abertas da Terceira Idade de São Paulo. A finalidade foi coletar subsídios para serem utilizados na formação de professores para contextos instrucionais, que visam à formação de práticas voltadas à educação dessa faixa etária, proporcionando-lhes não só desenvolvimento integral, mas também oportunidades igualitárias e inclusão social. A relevância deste trabalho devese, principalmente, ao crescente interesse mundial pela longevidade e pela inserção social do idoso. Foi discutido o aumento da longevidade no mundo (Frias, 1998; Goldman, 2001; Kalache e Kickbusch, 1997; Veras, 1995), a Gerontologia (Cachioni, 2003; Hayflick, 1996; Neri, 1995; Papaléo Netto, 1996), a educação (Canário, 2000; Case, 2000; Delors et al., 1999; Freire, 1996; Giubilei, 1993; Lima, 2001; Rogers, 1969; Sobral, 2001; Vygotsky, 1978), as universidades abertas da terceira idade (Jordão Neto, 2001; Martins de Sá, 1991; Vellas, 1997) e a formação de professores (Kenski, 2001; Monteiro, 2000; Moraes, 1997; Perrenoud, 2002) para aqueles que estão envelhecendo. Para operacionalizar a pesquisa, foi utilizada a orientação metodológica Hermenêutico-Fenomenológica (van Manen, 1990; Freire, 2007), buscando: que interpretações alunos e professores, adultos maduros e idosos, de duas universidades abertas da terceira idade têm sobre o aprender nessa fase da vida e qual a natureza do aprender na terceira idade na universidade aberta. Os textos coletados foram constituídos de entrevistas transcritas com dezesseis alunos e professores, adultos maduros e idosos, de duas universidades abertas. A partir das descrições e das interpretações das experiências vividas por esses sujeitos, foi possível identificar a natureza do fenômeno em estudo. Durante o processo de interpretação, contudo, os textos coletados revelaram que, contrariamente ao enfoque inicial, o fenômeno em foco era, de fato, a busca na terceira idade na universidade aberta. Ao chegar à essência do fenômeno, consegui identificar os temas que estruturam essa busca, que são: aprendizagem, bem-estar, ocupação e relações. Esses temas, além de servirem de base para pesquisas posteriores, podem e devem continuar sendo o objetivo maior daqueles que trabalham ou venham a trabalhar em instituições, com o segmento etário que mais cresce na sociedade em que vivemos

PUC Campinas / This study aims to examine patients? experiences in assisted home care, from a phenomenological perspective, based on the account of their experiences. Home care (HC), a worldwide trend that is in the process of consolidation in the context of health in Brazil, is characterized as a model of multiprofessional and humanized care. This survey was carried out as a qualitative study of a phenomenological nature. The researcher accompanied health care professionals from a Home Care Service (HCS) that is part of the National Health Service (NHS) from a municipality in the State of S?o Paulo, on weekly home care visits. During these visits, the researcher talked to seven adult patients of both sexes about their experiences with home care. These dialogues were initiated from a guiding question; after each of them, the researcher wrote a narrative in order to document her understanding of the participant's experience. At the end of this process, a creative synthesis of an interpretative nature was developed that included the significant elements of the experience each participant had in relation to the theme of the study. The main elements that emerged from this experience can be defined as: feeling of impotence triggered by illness; trust, gratitude, and admiration for HCS professionals; perceptions that the care provided is humanized and qualified; being cared for at home by the HCS team is considered better than being hospitalized. It was concluded that the home reveals itself as a space of care with potential to become a context conducive to the recovery of health, when can provide emotional and empathetic interpersonal relationships between patients, caregivers and professionals. Understand the experience of these patients contributed to the understanding of the centrality of relational dimension for a humanized health care. / Esta investigaci?n busc? aprender fenomenol?gicamente de la experiencia de pacientes atendidos en domicilio desde el relato de sus experiencias.

Este estudio fue realizado de forma cualitativa y naturaleza fenomenol?gica. La investigadora acompa?? a un servicio de atenci?n domiciliaria (SAD), vinculado al sistema unificado de salud (SUS) de un municipio en el estado de S?o Paulo durante los turnos semanales de cuidado domiciliario. Durante estas visitas, dialog? con siete pacientes adultos de ambos sexos sobre sus experiencias de cuidado domiciliario. Estos di?logos se originaron de una pregunta orientadora; despu?s de cada uno, el investigador escribi? un relato para registrar su entendimiento de la experiencia del paciente. Al final de este proceso, se prepar? una s?ntesis creativa de naturaleza interpretativa que incluye los elementos significativos de la experiencia de todos los participantes sobre el tema del estudio. Los temas principales que surgieron de esta experiencia se definen conforme sigue: sensaci?n de impotencia provocada por la enfermedad; confianza, gratitud y admiraci?n con respecto a los profesionales del SAD; percepci?n de que la atenci?n ofrecida es humanizada y calificada; ser atendido en casa por el equipo de SAD se considera mejor que ser hospitalizado. Se concluy? que la casa se revela como un espacio de atenci?n con potencial de convertirse en un contexto propicio para la recuperaci?n de la salud, cu?ndo puede proporcionar relaciones interpersonales emp?ticas y emocionales entre los pacientes, cuidadores y profesionales. Comprender la experiencia de estos pacientes contribuido a la comprensi?n de la centralidad de la dimensi?n relacional para lograr un cuidado humanizado de la salud. / Esta pesquisa objetivou apreender fenomenologicamente a experi?ncia de pacientes assistidos em domic?lio a partir do relato de suas viv?ncias.

Esses encontros dial?gicos foram iniciados a partir de uma quest?o norteadora; ap?s cada um deles, a pesquisadora redigiu uma narrativa a fim de registrar sua compreens?o sobre a experi?ncia do participante. Ao final deste processo, foi elaborada uma s?ntese criativa de cunho interpretativo que incluiu os elementos significativos da experi?ncia vivida por todos os participantes em rela??o ao tema do estudo. Os principais elementos que emergiram dessa experi?ncia podem ser definidos como: sentimento de impot?ncia desencadeado pelo adoecimento; confian?a, gratid?o e admira??o em rela??o aos profissionais do SAD; percep??o de que o cuidado disponibilizado ? humanizado e qualificado; ser atendido em casa pela equipe do SAD ? considerado melhor do que estar hospitalizado. Concluiu-se que a moradia revela-se como um espa?o de cuidado com potencialidade para se tornar um contexto prop?cio ? recupera??o da sa?de, quando consegue prover relacionamentos interpessoais afetivos e emp?ticos entre pacientes, cuidadores e profissionais. Compreender a experi?ncia desses pacientes contribuiu para o entendimento acerca da centralidade da dimens?o relacional para a efetiva??o de um cuidado em sa?de humanizado.

It is the qualitative research and it was used the phenomenological method to analyse the data. The research also had an ethnographical characteristic due to the insertion of the researcher in the field and through the heterogeneity of data. The participants universe consisted of all health agents (24 at the total) who work in a Health Center in South Region of Campinas City Council SP. Six community health agents were interviewed, one of each local group of reference of Family Health Program. The criterium of choice to the interviews was the effective relationship with the function of the agent. The instruments, which were used to collect the data, were: field diary and active non-directive interview. The declarations were encouraged by a direct (discharged) question about the meaning of community health agent for the interviewed people according to their experience. The interview was recorded with the consent of the participants. It was concluded that: 1) The work of a community health agent represents a great efficacy to the Health System; 2) For the agents to settle an entailment with the population and develop actions more effective close to it, it is important to have or develop some attitudes like: empathy, hearing availability, sheltering, ethics preoccupation, professionalism, to know how to approach the people, responsabilization and promisement; 3) The presence of the agent in the group represents an enlargement of the actions and knowledge changes; 4) The social role of community health agent is the aspect that makes much more difference from other professionals of the group; 5) There is a degree of a high personal satisfaction by the help that they can offer to the population. Based in the report about difficult experiences in the quotidian of agents, it was possible to show clearly some proposals to see this health worker in a better potential way; it is suggested that: I) It must exist a permanent capacitation, mainly in situations that carry emotional mobilization; II) It is considered important to delimitate the professional identity of the agent, even in and out the Institution in order to have people with more clarity of their professional role; III) It is necessary to hire professionals who can help with the administrative services inside the Institution to dispense the agents of this function and to power their community dimension; IV) The activities at the Family Health group need to be better integrated in order to permit affective changes among professionals; V) It is necessary to ponder about the hiring that considers important personal characteristics to the development of the function that consent a better form of remuneration for these professionals, for them to have perspective of continuity in the post of community health agent. / Este estudo prop?s-se a repensar a fun??o de agente comunit?rio de sa?de a partir da viv?ncia particular de um grupo de agentes de um Centro de Sa?de de Campinas, tanto em rela??o ? sua dimens?o institucional (como trabalho integrado a uma equipe interdisciplinar) como em rela??o ? sua dimens?o comunit?ria (como trabalho junto ? popula??o). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e utilizou o m?todo fenomenol?gico para an?lise dos dados. A pesquisa tamb?m teve uma caracter?stica etnogr?fica devido a inser??o da pesquisadora no campo e pela heterogeneidade dos dados. O universo de participantes constituiu-se de todos os agentes de sa?de (24 no total) que trabalham em um Centro de Sa?de da regi?o sul do Munic?pio de Campinas-SP. Seis agentes comunit?rios de sa?de foram entrevistados, um de cada equipe local de refer?ncia do Programa Sa?de da Fam?lia. O crit?rio de escolha para as entrevistas foi o envolvimento efetivo com a fun??o de agente. Os instrumentos utilizados para coleta dos dados foram: di?rio de campo e entrevista n?o-diretiva ativa. Os depoimentos foram estimulados por uma pergunta disparadora sobre o que significava para os depoentes, de acordo com sua experi?ncia, ser um agente comunit?rio de sa?de. Os depoimentos foram gravados, ap?s consentimentos dos participantes. Concluiu-se que: 1) O trabalho do agente comunit?rio de sa?de representa uma grande efic?cia para o Sistema de Sa?de; 2) Para os agentes estabelecerem um v?nculo com a popula??o e desenvolverem a??es mais efetivas junto a mesma, ? importante que tenham ou desenvolvam algumas atitudes como: empatia; disponibilidade de escuta, acolhimento, preocupa??o ?tica; profissionalismo, saber abordar as pessoas, responsabiliza??o e comprometimento; 3) A presen?a do agente na equipe representa uma amplia??o das a??es e possibilita uma troca de saberes; 4) O papel social do agente comunit?rio de sa?de ? o aspecto que mais o diferencia de outros profissionais da equipe; 5) Existe um grau de satisfa??o pessoal elevado pela ajuda que podem oferecer a popula??o. A partir do relato das viv?ncias sobre situa??es dif?ceis no cotidiano do agente, foi poss?vel evidenciar algumas propostas para que este trabalhador de sa?de seja melhor potencializado em sua fun??o; sugere-se que: I) Deva existir uma capacita??o constante, principalmente na abordagem de situa??es que geram mobiliza??o emocional; II) Considera-se importante delimitar a identidade profissional do agente, tanto dentro como fora da Institui??o para que as pessoas tenham maior clareza de seu papel profissional; III) Faz-se necess?rio a contrata??o de profissionais que possam auxiliar nos servi?os administrativos dentro da Institui??o de forma a dispensar os agentes desta fun??o e potencializar sua dimens?o comunit?ria; IV) As atividades nas equipes de Sa?de da Fam?lia precisam ser melhor integrados para permitirem trocas efetivas entre os profissionais; V) ? necess?rio repensar sobre formas de contrata??o que levem em conta caracter?sticas pessoais importantes para o desenvolvimento da fun??o e que possibilitem uma melhor forma de remunera??o desses profissionais, para que tenham perspectivas de continuidade no cargo de agente comunit?rio de sa?de.

It constituted an exploratory qualitative study. Dialogic interviews were carried through by the researcher with four organizational psychologists, starting from an abstained question that stimulated them to share their living experiences regarding the theme. The depositions were recorded, transcripted and phenomenologically analysed, according to the steps proposed by Amedeo Giorgi. A general synthesis was elaborated based on the researcher s psychological understanding of the shared living elements. It was concluded that the workers mental health is a theme that challenges psychologists; despite their ageement about the presence of suffering within work contexts, they feel difficulty in developing an adequate psychological practice. It aroused as significant to psychologists inserted in organizational contexts the conflict between assuming a psychological practice which provides the worker with support, listening and empathic understanding and, by the other side, a professional role that aims to apply theoretical knowledge in order to adjust behaviors, by the means of enlisting, selecting and training, mainly to attend the organization s needs. Therefore a dichotomy arouses characterized by the psychologist dealing with organizational general determined tasks and at the same time trying to practice a psychological attendance toward the workers human needs. This study brought to light a fragmented Psychology occupied by the exercising of various roles determined to psychologists in several work contexts. This confusing social understanding of Psychology s knowledges and professional practices makes ageement to other researchers assumptions according to the urgent need for interlocution among psychological fields and also a reflection on limits and possibilities of a psychological social clinic frame of reference. The psychological clinic contextualized in the institutions allows psychologists to support the other person s subjective suffering (private) in a social dimension (public interprise). This social dimension brings man a certain fluidity that prevents him of been prisioner of his own existence, otherwise his being privated of seeing and listening to others also turns him unable to be seen and listened and therefore excluded of the common world. / Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender a experi?ncia de psic?logos em rela??o ? sa?de mental do trabalhador no contexto de organiza??es. Constituiu-se como uma pesquisa qualitativa, de car?ter explorat?rio. Foram realizadas entrevistas dial?gicas com quatro psic?logos organizacionais, a partir de uma quest?o que estimulou os participantes a compartilharem suas viv?ncias a respeito do tema. Os depoimentos, gravados e transcritos, foram analisados, fenomenologicamente, de acordo com os passos propostos por Amedeo Giorgi. Uma s?ntese geral foi elaborada a partir da compreens?o psicol?gica sobre os elementos do vivido, compartilhados com a pesquisadora. Concluiu-se que a quest?o da sa?de mental do trabalhador desafia os psic?logos, pois embora constatem a presen?a de sofrimento no ambiente de trabalho, sentem dificuldade em exercer uma pr?tica psicol?gica compat?vel. Destaca-se o conflito vivenciado pelo psic?logo inserido no contexto organizacional entre um fazer psicol?gico, pautado numa escuta diferenciada que visa acolher e compreender o trabalhador, e uma pr?tica profissional que objetiva aplicar conhecimentos te?ricos para ajustar comportamentos, mediante as atribui??es de recrutar, selecionar e treinar, atendendo, principalmente, as metas da organiza??o. H?, portanto, uma dicotomia caracterizada pelo exerc?cio de tarefas pr?-determinadas pela organiza??o em detrimento de uma pr?tica psicol?gica fundada na aten??o psicol?gica ao trabalhador. Este estudo desvelou a Psicologia fragmentada nos diversos pap?is ocupados pelo psic?logo em diferentes contextos de trabalho. Uma compreens?o social dicotomizada em rela??o aos saberes e fazeres da Psicologia corrobora o pensamento de outros pesquisadores que sugerem a necessidade de uma interlocu??o entre as diversas ?reas da Psicologia e de uma reflex?o competente sobre limites e possibilidades de uma aten??o psicol?gica cl?nica social. A cl?nica contextualizada nas institui??es permite ao psic?logo acolher o outro no seu sofrimento subjetivo (privado), mas em uma dimens?o social (espa?o p?blico). Esta dimens?o permite ao homem um certo deslocamento, uma fluidez que o impede de ser aprisionado em sua pr?pria exist?ncia, pois, ao sentir-se privado de ver e ouvir os outros, priva-se de ser visto e ouvido e acaba isolado, exclu?do do mundo comum.
