SOUZA, Suzy Anne Lopes de and SILVEIRA, Lia Márcia Cruz da. Recognizing listening as a therapeutic resource in the care for women's health. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.1, pp.19-42. ISSN 2177-093X. https://doi.org/10.20435/pssa.v0i0.571.
The Primary Care is the main entrance to the health system and is the system that receives the demands of the general public, and especially women. Therefore, the need for qualified professionals is evidenced through listening. This study aims to analyze the acknowledgement of hearing as a therapeutic resource by health professionals who work in the health care of women in the Primary Care system. The results show discrepancies between what has been advocated by policies and the reality in health services, as well as in the professionals' discourse about listening, which demonstrates knowledge about the concept but not about the practice. Regarding the gender, there is an understanding of issues related to women, but not of the repercussions on health.
