grupo Balint, educação médica, residência médicaResumo
Os grupos Balint são uma ferramenta clínica importante no cotidiano dos profissionais da saúde, principalmente dos médicos. Surgiu com o objetivo de ajudar médicos generalistas a alcançar uma melhor compreensão do que foi chamado de "aspecto psicológico" da prática médica geral, sendo observada considerável mudança em suas ideias e atitudes nas relações interpessoais com a utilização destes grupos. Na formação médica, todavia, o processo de aprendizagem frequentemente é baseado em protocolos clínicos centrados nas doenças, algo que costuma enfraquecer a empatia e a própria relação médico-paciente. Balint criou, através dos grupos que hoje levam seu nome, uma forma de resgatar o ensino da medicina centrada na pessoa. Estudantes e médicos (incluindo residentes) que participam de grupos Balint geralmente desenvolvem maiores habilidades no tocante à empatia e aos relacionamentos interpessoais; ademais, sofrem menos de “burnout”. Portanto, motivá-los a envolverem-se com a ferramenta desenvolvida por Balint é de suma importância para qualificar sua formação profissional, favorecendo o trabalho com pacientes na perspectiva da integralidade.Referências
