Abstract

With the hospitalization of a relative, family experiences situations of stress, anxiety, fear and worry, as well as deficits in their occupational performance, in such a way that makes the group interventions an important aid for Occupational Therapy, and a powerful teaching resource in the process of training graduates in internship practices at hospital contexts. From this perspective, during the period from May to November 2017, the development of a support group for caregivers was proposed as an extension activity linked to the area of occupational therapy at the hospital. Methodologically, for the description of this experiment, the analysis of the records from the group was performed, and the information was worked through descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. As results, meetings granted the possibility of exchanges among the participants and the promotion of curative factors, as well as stimulated students to develop skills such as qualified listening, clinical reasoning and interventional planning. Thus, the group approach in the hospital setting was presented as a potent method for care and teaching-learning process.
