RESUMO
Este artigo resulta da experiência como psicóloga residente numa unidade de transplante de medula óssea. O objeto da pesquisa foi a invisibilidade do adoecimento e suas reverberações. Foi realizado um estudo de caso, cujo referencial teórico é o conceito de Dasein, de M. Heidegger. Este se refere à forma como o ser se coloca no mundo, considerando-o sempre numa relação seja com o outro, seja com a própria finitude, a partir da linguagem. Como resultados, observou-se que a invisibilidade produz repercussões não só para o paciente, como para o entorno. Para estes pacientes, muitas vezes é o transplante que lhes coloca em uma relação mais direta com a doença, reforçando sua concretude e gravidade. Portanto, reconhecer esse fenômeno tem efeitos no trabalho clínico, proporcionando um espaço de escuta e uma presença que os auxilia a construir seus próprios modos de lidar com as experiências advindas do tratamento.
The present paper have been made of the experiences as a psychologist resident in a bone marrow transplantation center. The objective was to analyze the hematological disease's invisibility and their reverberation on the patients in treatment. The method utilized was the case study with patients that show this kind of question during the appointments, where we analyze their speech using the Dasein's concept of Heidegger. This refers to the way the being puts itself in the world, returning its experiences as central to this understanding; considering it always in a relation, be it with the world, or with the finitude, by the language. As results, it was observed that invisibility produces a difficulty in identifying itself as having a serious illness and of being able to locate this illness in the body, with repercussions not only for the patient, but also for other people. It also refers to what each one understands by being sick in its singularity. For these patients, it is often the transplant that puts them in a direct contact with the disease, because its effects increase their concreteness and gravity. Therefore, invisibility is a face of this procedure that deserves attention and recognizing this phenomenon generates a better understanding in the clinical work providing a space of listening and a presence that helps them to construct their own ways of dealing with the experiences coming from the treatment.
