Movida podcast: uso do podcast como ferramenta de comunicação para profissionais da enfermagem

Abstract

Disseminating essential information about the rights of nursing professionals and the different forms of harassment and discrimination in the workplace is an urgent need, considering the fear that many of these professionals face daily in the exercise of their profession. In this context, this work sought to understand how podcasts, an expanded audio medium distributed on digital streaming platforms and digital social networks, can be used as a communication and awareness tool for this professional category. Therefore, this research investigates the question: "How can podcasts be used as a communication tool to raise awareness and support nursing professionals in confronting moral, physical, and sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace?" To address this problem, the creation of the Movida Podcast was proposed, a program dedicated to Nursing as a professional and social field, whose first season addresses moral and sexual harassment and discriminatory practices in the sector. The podcast is structured as interviews with nursing professionals and specialists in the legal and psychological fields, in addition to including audio clips with accounts from workers in the field, who can share their experiences and difficulties, providing a real perspective on the challenges faced in the area. The format aims not only to inform, but also to guide and raise awareness among professionals about their rights and the available reporting and protection mechanisms, aligned with the guidelines of the Federal Nursing Council (COFEN) and Resolution 768/2024, which aims to prevent and combat moral and sexual harassment and discrimination within the COFEN System and the Regional Nursing Councils (COREN). The first season produced has five episodes, with the following themes: Moral harassment, sexual harassment and discrimination in the nursing workplace; Moral harassment in nursing: how the culture of fear can affect professionals; Sexual harassment in nursing: what are the emotional and psychological consequences? Discrimination in Nursing: racism, ageism, and veiled prejudices – how to confront them?; and What is the role of companies in transforming the nursing work environment into a space free from harassment and prejudice? This product contributes to reflection on communication strategies focused on Nursing and highlights the potential of podcasts as a medium for outreach and awareness in the field of health communication.
