Promoción de la salud mental: cuidarse para cuidar mejor

En este artículo se pretende enfatizar el concepto de promoción de la salud mental; un espacio reservado para las intervenciones dirigidas a reforzar, mantener, incrementar y, en global, potenciar el bienestar psicológico de las personas 'mentalmente sanas'. Para su comprensión se introduce el constructo 'salud mental positiva', cuyo significado está relacionado tanto con estados de bienestar y felicidad como con situaciones de sufrimiento y conflicto emocional. Se enfatiza la necesidad de discriminar la normalidad/anormalidad de esos estados psicológicos, teniendo en cuenta la complejidad de la estructura mental del ser humano y las dificultades que existen para determinar lo que es salud y lo que es enfermedad mental. Asimismo, se vincula la promoción de la salud mental al concepto de autocuidado, relacionando la capacidad de cuidarse uno mismo con la capacidad para cuidar a los demás. Esta relación resulta especialmente significativa para la enfermería, como profesión centrada en el cuidado. El artículo finaliza con una serie de sugerencias para la promoción de la salud mental positiva.

Sairaanhoitajaopiskelijoiden ohjattujen käytännön harjoittelujen aikana ilmenneet eettiset ongelmat

Ethical problems occurring during the practical training period of Finnish nursing students The present study focused on nursing students adopting the professional code of conduct during their supervised practical training. The study was carried out in two phases. During the first phase, the objective was to survey ethical problems occurring in practical training as well as how these problems are detected and resolved by nursing students and their supervisors at different stages of their studies. In the second phase, the capability of the nursing students about to graduate to detect and resolve ethical problems was described and analyzed. The students’ capacity for self-instruction, independent search for information as well as factors related to teaching of ethics were determined within this phase. Further, an extensive literature review was carried out to complement the study. Thus, the main objective of the thesis was to make suggestions for the development of the teaching of ethics and supervision in nursing studies and in practice. In the first part of the empirical phase (2002–2005), the views of the nursing students (n =18) were clarified with themed open essay questions. Furthermore, the views of the supervising nurses (n = 115) were established by utilizing a series of themed questions and group interviews. During the second phase (2006–2007), the data for the analyses were collected from nursing students in their graduating stage (n = 319) by a national Internet-based questionnaire. The results of the first phase were examined with contentanalysis and those of the second phase both statistically and by using content analysis. Ethical problems occurring during supervised practical training were typically connected to a patient or a client, a member of the nursing staff or to a student, while solutions were connected to preparation and the action to solve the problem in question. Ethical dilemmas were classified as legal, ethical comportment and uncertainty problems as well as personal and institutional ones. The solutions for these problems were further grouped as based on facts, instructor/staff/member/specialist or patient/client/relative. The results showed that although the nursing students about to graduate had detected many ethical problems both independently as well as together with the nursing staff during every practical training period, they were able to resolve only few of them. Ethical problems were most frequently encountered during training in psychiatric nursing. On the grounds of their own impressions, the nursing students stated that their ability to detect and solve ethical problems improved during their training period. The primary factors related to this enhancement of their skills were teaching and the students’ readiness for selfinstruction. Gender, orientation of the studies and age were observed to be the most important among the underlying factors influencing the capability to detect and solve ethical problems as well as to engage in self-instruction. Based on the results obtained, suggestions for development as well as topics for further studies are presented through teaching of professional ethics and supervision during practical training.

Retroalimentación docencia-asistencia-docencia: estudio sobre burnout en enfermeras de salud mental como estrategia de innovación y calidad docente

El síndrome de burnout se considera una vulnerabilidad en las profesiones de ayuda. La escasez de publicaciones sobre esta formación, orientó la creación de una asignatura optativa en el Grado de Enfermería de la Universidad de Barcelona (UB) en el curso 2009-2010. Igualmente, produjo interés por explorar esta temática en enfermeras asistenciales de salud mental cuya disciplina aborda la gestión del estrés. Se presenta un estudio descriptivo, transversal y de correlación, en una cohorte de 73 enfermeras que trabajaban en servicios asistenciales de salud mental en el año 2011. Los objetivos pretenden identificar si la muestra estudiada presenta afectación del síndrome de burnout y relacionar los resultados con las estrategias que dichas enfermeras declaran utilizar para hacer frente a las emociones negativas atribuidas a su trabajo. El instrumento empleado es el Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), una pregunta abierta y variables sociodemográficas y de salud. Los resultados indican que presentó burnout el 2,7% de la muestra estudiada junto con un nivel medio de despersonalización. Además presentan baja realización personal quienes trabajaban en unidades de enfermos crónicos. El cansancio emocional resulto mayor en mujeres que en hombres y esta presente en personal con contrato fijo y en quienes causaron baja en los dos últimos años. En general, se observa falta de formación y apoyo formal para gestionar el estrés en la muestra estudiada. Se concluye que la formación sobre burnout en el Grado de Enfermería, podría favorecer la gestión del estrés y prevenir su cronicidad hacia la desmotivación y el absentismo laboral.

Transkulturell omvårdnad-erfarenheter hos specialistutbildadesjuksköterskor inom psykiatrisk vård. : En kvalitativ intervjustudie

Syftet: Syftet med studien var att belysa specialistutbildade sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av transkulturell omvårdnad inom psykiatrisk vård. Metod: Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ metod med enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer. Specialistutbildade sjuksköterskor som arbetat inom psykiatrisk vård minst ett år fick berätta om sina erfarenheter av transkulturell omvårdnad.  Resultat: I resultatet framkom det att specialistutbildade sjuksköterskor inompsykiatrisk vård upplever språket som ett hinder för omvårdnaden eftersom språket är så centralt inom psykiatrisk vård då samtal utgör en stor del under vårdtiden. Det visar också att religiösa och kulturella seder kan ha betydelse i möten med patienter från olika kulturer. Möjligheter att förstå varandra mellan personal, patienter och anhöriga som är delaktiga i vården lyfts fram. Anhöriga kan bidra med information och även stötta patienterna vilket är värdefullt för omvårdnaden. Tolk används ofta för att lösa kommunikationsproblem men de används inte i så stor utsträckning man skulle önska på grund av kostnader. Slutsats: De specialistutbildade sjuksköterskorna har i stor utsträckning, kunnat ta hänsyn till patientens önskemål och erbjudit patienten det bästa möjliga alternativ till god omvårdnad. Studien visar att det finns specialistutbildade sjuksköterskor inom psykiatrisk vård som anser sig behöva mer kunskap inom transkulturell omvårdnad.

Trajetória do hospital dia Dr. Elger nunes: um recorte histórico da psiquiatria e saúde mental no Rio Grande do Norte

In Brazil, the mental health network proposed by the Psychiatric Reform inserts the intermediate and replacement services in the pursuit of alignment or resocialization of patients with mental and behavioral disorder in the community. Was adopted, among other services, the Center for Psychosocial Care, Home Therapy, Sheltered Home, Day Hospital and psychiatric beds in general hospital. In this context, the State of Rio Grande do Norte implanted the Day Hospital Dr. Elger Nunes (HDEN) in Natal / RN in 1996, linked to State Department of Public Health. At HDEN happened a multi and interdisciplinary therapeutic work, besides being the scene of disciplinary practices, and extension projects for graduate courses in Higher Education Institutions in the city. However, with the process of decentralization of local services, the hospital was terminated by an administrative state act in 2006, leaving damage to the activities provided to users, disciplinary practices and extension activities. From this breakdown, the objective was to narrate the trajectory of HDEN through a multidisciplinary team of professionals and teachers who used it as a field of disciplinary practices. It is characterized as a documental and qualitative, backed in the technique of thematic oral history, following the phases: authorization of the interviewee, interview recording, transcription, textualization and transcreation of the material obtained. We used documents, ordinances, general reports of activities, among others, plus interviews to fifteen employees who used this service, being thirteen part of the multidisciplinary team of professionals and two graduation professors of health care area, nursing and medicine. The stories collected were organized according to the technique chosen, respecting its steps. In preparing the body subjected to ALCESTE computer program, priority was given to the vital tone for the formation of categories and classes elected by the program, structured in three thematic areas. In the first axis, called Trajectory of HDEN, were recalled the beginning of its activities, the steps of that time, their activities, and its actors - users, families, professionals, and teaching practices. The second axis has dealt with the process of extinction of HDEN, rescuing the feelings of employees, the main reasons given at the time and immediate postextinction scenario. And the third axis revealed in an articulated form the situation of mental health in Natal / RN, listing to the challenges and prospects for the psychosocial care, starting from the trajectory of HDEN with emphasis on activities. Moreover, the trajectory of HDEN provides recognition of the historical basis outlined in the constitution of the network of substitute services present in the current scenario of psychosocial care in the city of Natal and in RN.

Assistência de enfermagem às urgências e emergências psiquiátricas no serviço de atendimento móvel de urgência em Mossoró-RN

This study aims to identify the concepts of professional nursing team on assistance in urgency and psychiatric emergencies in SAMU in Mossoró/RN, identifying the difficulties in implementing an emergency assistance to the user in psychiatric distress in this service and point strategies in pursuit of consolidation and expansion of comprehensive health care to the public. It is a descriptive research with qualitative and exploratory approach. The subjects were employees of the nursing staff of SAMU of that mentioned municipality. Semi-structured interviews are applied as tool for data collection. It was counted on the consent of the institution where the study was developed and approval by the Ethics Committee in Research of UFRN with CAAE No 17326513.0.0000.5537, besides signing the Informed Free Consent Term by the participants. Data analysis was done by means of thematic analysis proposed by Bardin. Thus , as a result of the research produced the following categories: mechanistic practice; dehumanization of care; need for qualification, barriers to assistance in urgency and psychiatric emergency and strategies in pursuit of comprehensive care, which proceeded in preparing two articles entitled "Nursing care to the emergency room and psychiatric emergencies in the mobile emergency care service" and "Barriers for emergency service and psychiatric emergencies in the mobile emergency care service". In the studied reality it was identified that nursing care offered to users in situations of urgency and psychiatric emergency is made based primarily on the use of chemical and physical restraints, as well as transportation to the general hospital, constantly using the police force support, which meets the guidelines of the Psychiatric Reform and thereby undermining the provision of an effective and humane care. This scenario is worsened by the lack of an organized network of services in mental health, where after the service the user is taken to a general hospital, considering that there is no ready or appropriate psychiatric emergency service as a Center of Psychosocial Care - CAPs III to reference it, thereby precluding the realization of a resolute and comprehensive care. Thus, it is concluded that nursing care is based on biologicist and medicine-centered model advocated by classical psychiatry, and that despite all the advances in psychiatric reform, still guides the mental health care, so the lack of service network organized in hierarchical and mental health, where the user in urgency and emergency service can be watched in full and the guidelines of the psychiatric reform can be realized in practice

Estudo bibliográfico de publicações sobre a atividade administrativa da enfermagem em saúde mental

0bjetivando estudar a atividade administrativa do enfermeiro em saúde mental enquanto um instrumento do processo de trabalho, realizamos um estudo bibliográfico de publicações de enfermagem sobre esta temática no período de 1988 a 1997. Através da leitura e análise crítica de 8 artigos e 19 dissertações e teses selecionadas, identificamos as principais características dessa prática, quais sejam: os enfermeiros são os responsáveis pela equipe e assistência de enfermagem, obedecendo à lógica determinada pela instituição; suas ações não são planejadas, coordenadas e avaliadas; as atividades administrativas utilizam a maior parte de seu tempo de trabalho e o cuidado direto de enfermagem é realizado pela equipe auxiliar de enfermagem, sendo que nos serviços extra--hospitalares os atendimentos diretos e grupais são mais freqüentes.
