Pesquisa participativa com mulheres assentadas

possibilidades a partir da educação popular em saúde

Abstract

In this article we present some theoretical and methodological reflections from participant research with women in settlements. It carried out 24 field trips, among them, 14 participant observations, 9 interviews and a conversation circle. In the first meetings we talked about the progress we would make to the previous research. We decided that the way they plan, organize, act and evaluate themselves when practicing health care would be an important object of this study because their results can improve their actions and also support other groups in learning from their actions. We believe in the importance of learning from the ways of being, knowing and doing of peasant women whose health care practices contribute to overcoming the inequalities and challenges imposed on them, to maintain their material and symbolic survival, and to an effective health promotion of the rural population. With this work, it is hoped to strengthen the health care actions carried out by these women through a dialogical process of research construction, which will bring more visibility to their actions in academic, political and social environments.
