Abstract
Objetiva-se relatar a experiência da utilização do Manuseio com Massa de Modelar, enquanto técnica projetiva, como estratégia de coleta de dados na pesquisa qualitativa em saúde e enfermagem. Para tal, traz-se a vivência de uma pesquisa, fundamentada na Teoria das Representações Sociais, realizada em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil, com 30 mulheres. A técnica consistiu em oferecer massa de modelar às mulheres que, no seu manuseio, trouxe o significado do contágio do leite materno por vírus, relatando-o verbalmente. Os resultados mostraram que as mulheres expressaram sensações não só tácteis, mas, também, visuais e emocionais, materializadas nas modelagens, apresentando o significado imerso em seu imaginário. A técnica possibilitou expressão da criatividade e sensibilidade, pois através da arte de modelar, as mulheres evidenciaram conteúdos afetivos latentes, tendo se mostrado, enquanto técnica projetiva, como uma estratégia sensível, afetiva e efetiva, de coleta de dados para a pesquisa qualitativa na área da saúde e da enfermagem.
Highlights
The methodology is understood as the appropriate path and instrument to approach reality. It includes theoretical conceptions of approach, a set of techniques that enable the apprehension of reality, besides the creative potential of the researcher. It is more than a description of the methods and techniques to be used; it indicates the alternatives and the operational reading that the researcher made of the theoretical framework, not just contemplating the exploratory phase in the field, and the definition of tools for data analysis.[1,2]
It still needs to be consistent with the theoretical framework adopted; after all, “the methodology is not the same for all processes of investigation”.3:163
Considering the aforementioned aspects, a question emerged: what is the effectiveness of the Dough Modeling (DM) technique as a projective technique and strategy for data collection, in qualitative research in nursing and health care?. Seeking to answer this question, this paper reports on the experience of using the DM technique, considered as a projective technique, presented as a strategy for data collection, to develop qualitative research in health and nursing
