SUMMARY:

This master's dissertation was aimed to study social workers and psychologists of the Specialized Reference Center for Homeless Population (Pop Center), workers  that make up the Unified System of Social Assistance (SUAS, in Portuguese). The aim of this study was to analyze the work activity of psychologists and social workers of the Pop Center, seeking to address the gender reference and the power to act of these workers, as well as to conduct a study of the working conditions and health of these workers in this service. The theoretical framework came from the Activity Clinic and Activity Ergonomics. As a method, the research was divided into two parts: in the clinical stage, the Technique of Instruction to the Double (IaS, in Portuguese) was used in the search for access to workers' activity; in the quantitative stage, the psychological instrument ITRA - Inventory on Work and Risks of Illness was used in order to raise the working conditions and health of workers. The results of the clinical stage indicate a varied number of impediments to the workers' power of action, specially in terms of the absence of organizational intersectoral support. Two IaS were performed; the first one proposed as a focus problem of management of the daily space, due to conflicts; the second one turned to disputes/disagreements in the service; as aspects that favor the power to act, the bond with the service user was verified. In the quantitative stage, with data from 38 participants, explanatory importance was found, in a clustering procedure, for the following variables: Cognitive Cost, Affective Cost, Working Conditions and Work Organization. Elements of precariousness and risk of illness were also evidenced in the work of the Pop Center. These two parts of this study dialogue one to the other, suggesting aspects of limiting the professional's power to act, referencing the professional gender in an incipient way, and working conditions that offer risk to the health of professionals. The present study points to the need for a policy of valuing SUAS workers, greater articulation between intersectoral policies and improvements in working conditions for psychologists and social workers.
