Abstract

ALVES, Marta Raquel Paiva de Farias; NEGREIROS, Bárbara Teixeira Campo de; AZEVEDO, Ana Teresa Leiros de  and  ALCHIERI, João Carlos. Evaluative practices performed by health psychologists: a descriptive Study. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.2, pp. 163-170.

Evaluative practices are among the possibilities of a psychologist's work at the Hospital. The aim was to investigate the management of the evaluation processes by hospital psychologists working in non-psychiatric hospitals, regarding the types, characteristics and needs requested, identifying their actions faced with the demands. A cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study was conducted with multi-method data collection through a structured interview with 14 hospital psychologists from Natal/RN. Among the results, 87.7% considered the descriptive evaluation to be the most frequent, 78.6% perceived that these occur due to requests of the team and identification of the need by the psychologists themselves, with a predominance of the use of qualitative techniques in the evaluation. It was concluded that the hospital environment presents challenges for a wide use of the existing techniques, which together with the scarcity of material and human resources present unfavorable conditions for the use of those practices in the Hospital.
