Resumen

El trabajo de los psicólogos en los sistemas de salud requiere innovaciones en la práctica y ajustes para satisfacer las demandas institucionales y sociales. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo caracterizar los perfiles sociodemográficos y de formación profesional, y analizar las prácticas profesionales, expectativas y percepciones de los psicólogos que trabajan en la salud. Una muestra (N=451) de psicólogos brasileños completó un cuestionario en línea, y sus respuestas fueron sujetas a análisis descriptivos e inferenciales. La mayoría (81,4%) eran mujeres, graduadas de instituciones privadas (65,6%), tenían títulos de posgrado (73,4%), trabajaban en servicios públicos de salud (56,3%). Las prácticas profesionales fueron diversificadas, particularmente entre los posgraduados y los supervisores. Las expectativas y percepciones positivas del trabajo predominaron entre los investigadores y supervisores. En conclusión, aunque operan de maneras diversas, persisten desafíos en la comunicación y el trabajo interdisciplinario. Los datos pueden respaldar la mejora curricular en educación para la salud.
