Grupos de trabalhadores acometidos por LER/DORT: relato de experiência

“…A abordagem terapêutica grupal junto aos aspectos psicossociais no adoecimento por LER/DORT vem, gradualmente, ocupando espaço, pois essas lesões demandam propostas de intervenção que abrangem as significativas alterações impostas na vida cotidiana dos sujeitos, e que trazem sofrimento e incertezas (MERLO; JACQUES; HOEFEL, 2001). A prática de atividades grupais tem sido utilizada nos diversos espaços públicos de saúde, inclusive no Campo da Saúde do Trabalhador e especialmente com sujeitos acometidos por esses distúrbios osteomusculares (ALENCAR, 2015;ALENCAR, 2012;MENDES;LANCMAN, 2010;VARANDAS;TAKACURA;YOSHIE, 2009;PERES, 2006).…”
