Title: Confronting Harassment in Healthcare Workplaces: An Experience Report with NASSA Workers

Resumo

Abstract
This experience report describes the implementation of an operative group on workplace
harassment with workers from NASSA (Occupational Health Support Center of Anápolis),
developed by Group 4 of the PET-Health Equity Program. The objective was to promote
critical reflection on different forms of harassment — moral, sexual, virtual, school-related,
and discriminatory — through participatory activities that stimulated dialogue, the sharing of
experiences, and the construction of collective coping strategies. The method followed a
structured script in five stages: welcoming, integration activity, conceptual presentation with
contextualized examples, discussion circle guided by key questions, and presentation of
institutional channels for reporting and prevention. A preliminary rehearsal with the PET-
Health team allowed adjustments in clarity, timing, and appropriateness of the conduction.
The results indicated increased awareness of the impacts of harassment on personal and
professional life, strengthening of collective dialogue spaces, and appreciation of
institutional equity policies. It is concluded that the operative group constituted a mobilizing
practice, with the potential to empower workers and contribute to critical training in
occupational health and health education.
