Resumen
El presente estudio aborda la temática del autocuidado en trabajadores sociales que se desempeñan dentro del área de la salud mental; en las siguientes instituciones: Fundación Paréntesis, CESFAM Villa O’Higgins, CENFA de Recoleta y SERNAM.
Cabe reconocer que en las últimas décadas se ha tornado relevante el fenómeno del autocuidado para la población, mediante estadísticas de diferentes instituciones del país, las personas cada día se están enfermando más; la cantidad de licencias ligadas al ámbito laboral han ido en aumento año tras año. Teniendo en cuenta que existe un alto índice de sobrecarga laboral en los profesionales que intervienen con personas. Hoy los Trabajadores Sociales, que se desempeñan en el área de la salud mental, entregan un pilar para la sociedad, existiendo un evidente desgaste físico y emocional, ya que se desempeñan con personas que tienen problemáticas en su dinámica diaria, o un trastorno mental. Gran cantidad de personas de esta área de intervención reportan a sus empleadores estar enfermos de estrés, burnout o de diferentes enfermedades psicosomáticas.
La investigación se ha abocado desde un enfoque cualitativo, debido a su fundamento fenomenológico, aportando un carácter exploratorio, puesto que es un fenómeno poco explorado dentro de la disciplina del trabajo social. Los resultados arrojados se obtuvieron mediante entrevistas “Semi estructuradas”
Mucho de los trabajadores entrevistados evidencian su experiencia con el autocuidado, destacando el beneficio que este tiene en sus prácticas profesionales y personales, aportando también la propuesta de que debe existir aún más instancias de autocuidado en los centros de salud mental.
The present study talks about the Self-care in social workers that perform in the mental health area; in the following institutions: Fundación Paréntesis, CESFAM Villa O’Higgins, CENFA from Recoleta and SERNAM. It is important to recognize that in the past decades the self-came phenomenon has become relevant. As the different institutions’ statistics say, people are getting sick more frequently as the medical leaves also increase every year. We have to take in account, also, that there is a big labor overload in professional that intervene with people. Now a days, Social Workers performing in the mental health area stand as a pillar for the society, causing in them lots of physical and emotional fatigue. Lots of these workers report stress, burnout, or other psychosomatic diseases. This investigation takes a qualitative focus, due to its phenomenological base, giving an exploratory character; also because it is a phenomenon lacking of exploration in the area el social working. The results were obtained through “semistructured” interviews. Lots of the workers interviews give evidence of their experience with selfcare, highlighting the benefit that it had brought in their professional and personal practices. It evens arise the proposal of creating institutionalized self-care instances in the mental health center where they perform.
