Constituição das doenças da docência
Resumo
Este artigo discute alguns resultados da pesquisa ‘Constituição das doenças da docência’, desenvolvida entre junho de 2007 e outubro de 2009, cujo objetivo foi analisar a relação entre o processo de trabalho e o mal-estar docente em escolas públicas municipais da cidade de Pelotas/RS. A pesquisa teve uma dimensão quantitativa que, valendo-se do programa estatístico SPSS 13.0, analisou dados funcionais e médicos do professorado; e uma dimensão qualitativa, na qual foram entrevistadas professoras que tiraram licença de saúde entre 2006-2007. Os dados foram comparados com a literatura nacional e internacional. Conclui-se que as condições de trabalho e as formas de tratamento do poder público contribuem para o crescimento de problemas de saúde na categoria. Soma-se a isso uma imagem idealizada das professoras sobre o sentido e o significado de seu trabalho; imagem cujo componente básico é a ideia de sacrifício como constituinte da profissão. Os efeitos dessa realidade têm provocado a disseminação do uso de medicamentos na categoria e aumentado os riscos sobre a saúde de cada professora. A medicação funciona pedagógica e administrativamente como mais um mecanismo de controle sobre o trabalho docente.

In addition, teachers carry an idealized image about meaning and significance of their work, representing the idea of sacrifice as a basic component of the profession. The effects of it are the dissemination of medicine usage by the category and increasing risks to each teacher health. Medication works pedagogically and administratively as another control mechanism over teaching work.
