Duas janelas da alma: arte e espiritualidade na formação em saúde à luz da educação popular

Abstract

This study, based on the Popular Education approach, reflects about the relationships between Art, Spirituality and Health from the experiences, theoretical, visual and corporal experiences contemplated in the discipline Trabalho de Campo Supervisionado 1A (TCS1A), which happens in the first semester of the medical course of the Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF). It starts from the idea that conventional forms of teaching and health practices have roots that stifle, neglect and undervalue the subtle and invisible dimensions of the human being. The arts and spiritualities could contribute to the construction of the integrality of care and to the professional and citizen formation, in the perspective that these add emotion, intuition and sensitivity. The Popular Education approach, in turn, embraces such issues by leveraging the collective construction of care, with shared construction of knowledge. The central objective was to understand the influence of the experience in a group of TCS1A discipline of the medical course of the UFF, in the fields of arts and spiritualities, in the training of medical students, through the identification, reporting and reflection on the experiences and perceptions produced in the meetings on the subject. These reflections are considered important because, by adding the artistic and spiritual aspects in the university formation, pedagogical spaces that value and support the personal course of the students, as well as their processes of self-knowledge and construction of their network of knowledge
