PERCEPÇÃO DE PROFISSIONAIS DE EQUIPE MULTIDISCIPLINAR SOBRE A AUTOLESÃO EM ADOLESCENTES: REFLEXÕES ACERCA DO PAPEL DA FAMÍLIA

Abstract

Considering the complexity of self-injurious behavior in adolescents and its association with family, school and social factors, this study aimed to understand the experience of professionals from multidisciplinary pedagogical, psychosocial and health monitoring teams in the school context, in relation to the family of adolescents with deliberate self-harm behavior. To this end, a qualitative, descriptive-exploratory study was carried out with 25 professionals from multidisciplinary pedagogical, psychosocial and health monitoring teams from five campuses of a federal educational institution in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Data collection was through focus group technique and thematic content analysis. As a result, two thematic categories emerged: the team's perception in relation to the family, highlighting its weaknesses and potentialities in the context of the adolescent who presents self-injury, and the collaboration between the team and the family. This allows us to conclude that integration between school, family and health is essential, and strategies that promote dialogue, training and family involvement can enhance care and prevention of self-harm.
