O agir comunicativo e crítico do bibliotecário nas organizações de Saúde

Abstract

This research shows the role of the librarian in the multiprofessional health team - its perspectives of action and insertion in this new environment. Considereing as reference the successful model of Canadian health system, in which librarians act in the team as routine: a practice that does not exist in Brazil. It seeks to check the activities and skills developed by medical librarians in order to set up a new job proposal. This study has a qualitative approach by sampling for convenience, selecting specialists such as: information professionals, physicians and health professionals invited to discuss perspectives for action and challenges. Concomitantly, we use the Niklas Luhmann`s systems theory approach, since health organizations are considered complex, which allowed us to understand the contradictions and difficulties of relationships and to bring to this ambiguous environment presuppositions of discursive theory, communicative action and humanistic on the basis of the philosopher Jürgen Habermas as a special way of conceiving communicative and discursive actions within this restricted environment. It is concluded that the perspective of action are promising and emerging, but it requires a reconfiguration in the formation of the librarian and the acquisition of new competences such as normative professionalization and communicative competence, as well as the creation of axes of information in health and science of the health in their training.
