Contribuições da psicologia organizacional e do trabalho no contexto hospitalar

Abstract

This study analyzed the contributions of Organizational and Work Psychology (OWP) in the interface with internships in the hospital context. It started from the recognition of the growing vulnerability of these workers to disorders related to stress, anxiety, and burnout syndrome. Thus, OTW practices and strategies applicable to the hospital context were investigated based on a theoretical review and the actual demands observed during an internship experience. The study adopts a qualitative approach, based on a narrative review of the literature. It was concluded that the strategic role of POT in the hospital context and in the internship is fundamental for identifying psychosocial risks, strengthening team cohesion, qualifying leadership practices, and implementing actions focused on the mental health of workers, constituting an indispensable resource for transforming hospital environments into healthier workplaces.
