Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to present the experiences of interdisciplinary interventions in groups with patients with RSI/WRMSD attended in a CRST at São Paulo city.
Method
This is an experience report of group therapeutic care, performed from February to November 2017. Workers with RSI/WRMSD were invited to participate in groups with therapeutic and educational approach, which were closed and weekly performed. There was a descriptive record of each meeting, and the records were later analyzed.
Results
During the period, 8 groups with 4 meetings each occurred. Each group was composed by 8 workers, with a total of 67 participants. The topics covered were: social representations about work, health, illness, etc; health and safety at work and forms of prevention; LER / DORT and organization at work; postural orientation, repercussions of the illness in the daily life and forms of resignification. The group approach allowed workers to share their yearnings and fears of returning to work, as well as providing exchanges of experiences on the difficulties of physical restraints, disabilities as well as experiences of suffering.
Conclusion
The group approaches allowed the creation of collective strategies that potentiate the coping of the difficulties and favored resignification of the experiences and the suffering.
