ABSTRACT:
This study presents and analyzes a psychosocial intervention carried out with health workers in Espírito Santo, Brazil, within the scope of the extension project “PET – Health Equity,” emphasizing its relevance for health education and professional training. It is grounded in the understanding that educational processes in the health field go beyond a technical-instrumental dimension and are constituted, above all, as experiences produced in and through work. The intervention was theoretically based on Ergology, Work and Organizational Psychology, and contributions from Body Psychotherapy. It created collective spaces for listening, expression, and reflection on work in situation through group dynamics, expressive and body-based activities, conversation circles, and letter writing. Health education is discussed as an ethical-political process that values experiential knowledge, strengthens workers’ power to act, and contributes to the construction of more equitable and sustainable practices. This qualitative, intervention-based study was conducted between September and November 2025 and consisted of five face-to-face meetings with open participation. The findings indicate that the intervention fostered meaningful learning processes, increased awareness of ways of working, strengthened bonds among participants, and promoted the development of relational and critical competencies, such as listening, empathy, cooperation, and reflection on limits, needs, and potentials. Tensions between prescribed norms and real work activity were also evident, as well as collectively created strategies to confront work overload, precariousness, and the invisibilization of health work. It is concluded that psychosocial workplace interventions can function as powerful devices for continuing health education by articulating training, care, and the production of meaning. By recognizing health workers as subjects of knowledge, such experiences contribute to the education of professionals who are more critical, sensitive, and committed to inclusive, equitable, and sustainable practices within public health systems.
