Abstract

Before the DCN and the National Policy of University Extension, the University Extension Project Sorriso de Plantão institutes interdisciplinarity as an organizing axis of health practices and stimulates in the academic values values of empathy, critical sense, reflexive, decision making and solidarity. This Academic Completion Work (TACC) consists of a scientific article, derived from a research developed on the level of empathy in the participants of the extension project Sorriso de Plantão and its contribution to professional training in health. The study that generated the scientific article had as objective the identification of the abilities and competences of the doctor clowns with respect to the empathy and its contribution in the professional formation in health. A descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative, census-based study was carried out, a questionnaire was used to know the profile of the project members and the empathy inventory (EI) instrument validated by Falcone (2008) Linkert, who evaluates 4 factors subdivided into 2 cognitive components (TP and FI) and 2 affective components (AL and SA). For the statistical analysis, Microsoft Office Excel 2010 was used for data tabulation and SPSS software, version 21. The clown doctors working in 5 hospitals in the city of Maceió (AL) were investigated. The IE data presented normative data of TP (41.5) and elevated AL (31.3), FI (31.3) close to the mean and SA (37.9) below, these factors can be influenced by the environment that the clown doctor is inserted. From these results a video was produced with the testimony of the researcher and members of the project about the attributions of the project and its contribution to the empathy for the humanistic view of caring, with the intention of promoting a reflection on the results of the research. In addition, it allowed to achieve the purposes of the Professional Master's Degree, demonstrating an opportunity to improve the professional educational practice and dissemination of the work developed by the doctor clowns of the Project Smile of Plantão.
