Resumo
A prostituição no Brasil é permeada por um imaginário social marcado pelo sombrio, pelo clandestino e pela ilegalidade, mesmo não sendo considerada uma atividade ilegal no país. O presente trabalho apresenta o processo de uma pesquisa com profissionais do sexo de Santos/SP iniciada em 2019, que foi atravessada pela pandemia de Covid-19 e teve que se adequar ao novo contexto. Após algumas mudanças, adotou-se como objetivo a identificação do contexto da prostituição no centro de Santos e a apreensão deste cenário e das condições de trabalho e de vida das profissionais do sexo. A partir da mediação de equipes de saúde do município, realizou-se uma aproximação ao Hotel Paraíso, local de prostituição na região central do município. Nos primeiros encontros, foi pactuado visitas semanais ao local, que se desdobraram na realização do método da observação participante durante o período de um ano, entre os meses de maio de 2021 até junho de 2022. Os encontros foram registrados semanalmente em diários de campo. As informações coletadas geraram eixos temáticos de análise, como a violência, a volatilidade da zona, os limites e contradições, a maternidade e a interlocução com a saúde. Acerca do processo de pesquisa, ressalta-se a imprescindibilidade da construção de vínculos e das parcerias construídas, destacando o trabalho de articulação da terapia ocupacional entre diferentes setores, serviços e profissionais. Considera-se pertinente buscar abordar alguns temas na continuidade do acompanhamento deste grupo, como educação financeira, redução de danos e educação em saúde; além de escutar e acolher as profissionais do sexo, identificando suas demandas e discutir na articulação em rede e com as profissionais propostas de cuidado.

After some changes, the objective was to identify the context of prostitution in the center of Santos and the apprehension of this scenario and the working and living conditions of sex workers. Based on the mediation of municipal health teams, was carried out an approach to the Hotel Paraíso, a place of prostitution in the central region of the municipality. In the first meetings, weekly visits to the site were agreed, which involved carrying out the participant observation method for a period of one year, between the months of May 2021 to June 2022. The meetings were recorded weekly in field diaries. The information collected generated thematic axes of analysis, such as violence, volatility in the area, limits and contradictions, motherhood and dialogue with health area. Regarding the research process, the indispensability of building bonds and partnerships is highlighted, stressing the occupational therapy articulation work between different sectors, services and professionals. It is considered pertinent to seek to address some themes in the continuity of this group monitoring, such as financial education, harm reduction and health education; in addition to listening and welcoming the sex workers, identifying their demands and discussing care proposals in the network articulation and with the workers.
