Description
Summary:The present study aims to problematize the notion of effectiveness from mediumistic consultations held in Umbanda with consultants who present health complaints. Participated in 20 consultants attended at two Umbanda centers in the city of Uberaba, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The interviews were submitted to reflexive thematic analysis. Four main themes emerged: 1) Knowledge of the benefits of treatment through third parties; 2) Request and execution of requests made by the entities; 3) Symbolisms that catalyze effectiveness; 4) The effectiveness of mediumistic work through the behavior of the consultants. When it is located as a piece of popular health equipment, Umbanda allows the emergence of a notion of effectiveness beyond the biomedical model, in a model of integrality and humanization.
O objetivo do presente estudo é problematizar a noção de eficácia a partir das consultas mediúnicas realizadas no contexto da umbanda com consulentes que apresentam queixas de saúde. Participaram 20 consulentes atendidos em dois centros de umbanda da cidade de Uberaba, Minas Gerais, Brasil. As entrevistas foram submetidas à análise temática reflexiva. Emergiram quatro temas principais: 1) Conhecimento dos benefícios do tratamento por meio de terceiros; 2) Solicitação e execução dos pedidos realizados pelas entidades; 3) Simbolismos catalizadores da eficácia; 4) A eficácia do trabalho mediúnico mediante o comportamento dos consulentes. A umbanda, ao ser situada como equipamento popular de saúde, permite a emergência de uma noção de eficácia que ultrapassa o modelo biomédico, em um paradigma de integralidade e de humanização.
