A classe hospitalar na visão dos familiares de estudantes em regime de internação para tratamento de saúde

Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the perceptions of family members of students admitted for health treatment about the Hospital Class service in guaranteeing the right to education. Based on studies and research carried out by Fontes (2005), Matos and Mugiatti (2012), Melo and Lima (2015), Medeiros (2018), Santos; Conceição and Cavalcanti (2019), Lima and Prado (2021), Mercado (2022) on Hospital Class, the provision of the service, the teaching function and the educational-pedagogical work in a hospital environment, covering the analysis of national legislation and the historical-political context of the educational scenario of students undergoing health treatment in the State of Alagoas. This is qualitative descriptive research, of the case study type. It was carried out at the Professor Alberto Antunes University Hospital (HUPAA), in Maceió-Alagoas. It was adopted as procedures and methodological instruments: semi-structured interviews, carried out with family members, participant observation and recording in a field diary of the moments of pedagogical care carried out with students in hospitalization and their companions. The analysis was constructed based on the voices of family members about the hospital class, the pedagogical care in the hospital and the role of teachers in carrying out a teaching practice aimed at students undergoing health treatment. The results obtained demonstrate that the hospital class is a right provided for in Brazilian legislation, which has not yet been implemented in the context of Alagoas as public policy. Families recognize the importance of pedagogical care in the hospital environment, value pedagogical strategies related to students undergoing health treatment, claiming the contribution that is given to these students to avoid evasion, repetition and school dropout, helping them to reintegrate into school with each hospital discharge.
