Contribuições da família na escolarização de alunos internados para tratamento de saúde no Complexo Hospitalar Universitário Professor Edgard Santos – HUPES (UFBA)

Abstract

This study had as its objective to comprehend in what way families contribute to the learning process of hospitalized students in the University Hospital of UFBA. The family is seen as the first institution responsible for the socialization of individuals and has as its difficult task of relating the nature of the human species with culture and the organization of social groups (family members), especially with processes that involve the subject’s schooling. It is critical for the child to gain confidence, to feel valued, and to be watched, and the institution cannot ignore responsibility in the construction of values, duties, common goods, and small day-to-day teachings. When a child is hospitalized, this relationship is altered, and a certain degree of uncertainty in the family and in the child is sent to a place marked by suffering, emotional and cognitive delays, which brings to the learner a feeling of isolation from being away from their family, friends, and school. This way, the treatment provided in a class during hospitalization contributes to the coping of stress from/of being an inpatient and consequently from the continuation of education. We support the theories of treating the issues of schooling during the situation of hospitalization, Holanda and Collet (2011), Barros (2007), Ceccim (1997, 1999), about family, Parolin (2010), Portella and Franceschine (2012). We methodologically applied a questionnaire containing 25 questions to 23 accompanying mothers whose answers were recorded and transcribed. As a way of subsidizing the organization of the data, we utilized the analysis of underlying speech proposed by Nicolaci-da-Costa (2007), through Underlying Discourse Unveiling Method (UDUM), which proposes to reach the meaning (frequently unconscious) that underlies what is said. We consider that learning anchors itself primarily on what is taught by the family and, during its life, the subject goes through different types of knowledge, be it of formal nature or not. Anyway, the majority of families have the pretense of accompanying them with the intent of helping them with whatever is necessary for their growth as citizens. Also, the behavior and thoughts of those responsible for the subject in regards to the schooling of their children varied about the worry of the future, and that depended on "studies", that is, school, because even with a chronic illness that will accompany them for their whole life, and believing that the child will not be capable of having a promising future, they will not be able to proceed without school.
