Description
Summary:This research investigated the beliefs of professors and undergraduate students of a medical school in Rio de Janeiro about “spiritual healing,” seeking contradictions in academic education, in contrast with the reality of the culture experienced by patients and physicians. Thirty-one students and thirty professors were interviewed, investigating the first ideas that came into their minds when thinking about “spiritual healing,” its mechanism, positive and negative related aspects, and influential people /authorities / instances considered essential for them formulating their personal opinion on this issue. Results were examined by analyzing the corpus of research in Initial Context Units (UCI), Elementary Context Units (UCE), plus Correspondence Factor Analysis, including the statistical treatment of sociodemographic data. The study revealed the clash between culture and academic background and the objective of humanization of care, and the need for systematic scientific proof, varying according to the student’s undergraduate cycle and the professor’s training. It also revealed the ambiguities in considering science and beliefs about spiritual healing. Besides, the interviewees admitted that they lacked enough knowledge about the relationship between spirituality and health, and some considered the legitimacy of discussing the theme during medical training.
Esta pesquisa descreve as crenças de docentes e discentes de um curso de graduação em medicina no Rio de Janeiro sobre o tema “curas espirituais”, buscando contradições na formação acadêmica, contrastantes com a cultura onde estão inseridos pacientes e médicos. Entrevistaram-se 31 alunos e 30 docentes do ciclo básico, médico e do internato, investigando as primeiras ideias que lhes vinham à mente ao pensar sobre “cura espiritual”, seu mecanismo, aspectos positivos e negativos, e as pessoas / autoridades / instâncias que influenciaram a formação de suas opiniões sobre o assunto. A análise do corpus da pesquisa em Unidades de Contexto Iniciais (UCI), Unidades de Contexto Elementares (UCE), mais Análise Fatorial por Correspondência, incluindo o tratamento estatístico dos dados sociodemográficos, revelaram o choque entre a cultura e a formação acadêmica, entre a proposta de humanização do atendimento e a necessidade de comprovação científica, variando conforme o ciclo da graduação dos discentes e a formação dos docentes entrevistados. Evidenciaram-se ambiguidades na diferenciação entre ciência e crença e a carência de maiores conhecimentos sobre a relação entre espiritualidade e saúde, embora tenha sido reconhecida a legitimidade de debate sobre o tema na formação médica.
