Apoio matricial em saúde mental: alcances e limites na atenção básica

As mudanças na atenção à saúde mental no município de Fortaleza têm um processo histórico e político recente, comparada a outros municípios cearenses, que no início dos anos 1990 já se lançavam pioneiros no processo. Fortaleza não implementou as mudanças devido aos interesses dos hospitais psiquiátricos, ambulatórios de psiquiatria da rede pública e dificuldade de gestão dos novos dispositivos e equipamentos de saúde mental presentes na Atenção Básica (AB). No município, a reorganização das ações e serviços de saúde mental tem exigido da Rede Básica o enfrentamento do desafio de atender aos problemas de saúde mental com a implementação do Apoio Matricial (ApM). Mediante o contexto, buscou-se avaliar o ApM em saúde mental em Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) e identificar alcances e limites nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde com ApM. O presente estudo utilizou uma abordagem qualitativa, tipo estudo de caso. Foram entrevistados doze profissionais das Equipes de Saúde da Família de quatro UBS com apoio matricial implantado. A análise das informações revela que o acesso, a tomada de decisão, a participação e os desafios da implementação do ApM são elementos que se apresentam de forma dialética frágeis e fortes na reorganização dos serviços e das práticas. A presença do ApM na AB ressalta a proposta de trabalhar saúde mental em rede no município. O processo não está findo. Mobilização, sensibilização e capacitação da AB precisam ser incrementadas constantemente, mas a implementação tem possibilitado, ao serviço e aos profissionais, maior aceitação da saúde mental na AB.

Contribuições de experiências de estágio em CAPS III para a formação interdisciplinar em Saúde Mental na perspectiva da Reforma Psiquiátrica

Introdução: A formação dos profissionais da área da saúde é fundamental para a transformação das práticas de cuidado e consolidação dos princípios e diretrizes do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Sendo um desafio do SUS, esta questão também está presente no campo da Saúde Mental e é necessária para a consolidação da Reforma Psiquiátrica e construção e fortalecimento da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial. Proposição: Investigar e refletir sobre as experiências dos estudantes que realizaram estágio no Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) III Itaim Bibi entre 2009 e 2014, no tocante à formação profissional em Saúde Mental na perspectiva da Reforma Psiquiátrica. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo qualitativo, com construção dos dados a partir da leitura de relatórios dos estudantes e de questionários com perguntas referentes à experiência dos estágios, que foram apresentadas aos participantes conforme orientações do método Delphi. As questões abordaram: motivos; expectativas; forma e qualidade de participação nas atividades; temas e estudos; trabalho em equipe; situações vivenciadas; influência na atuação profissional; apresentação do estágio e sugestões de alterações. As informações foram trabalhadas por meio de Análise de Conteúdo Temática. Resultados: Dos 52 convidados, 28 participaram da primeira rodada (53,85%), sendo: 14 terapeutas ocupacionais, 9 enfermeiros, 3 psicólogos e 2 estudantes de Serviço Social. O segundo questionário foi composto por afirmativas presentes nas respostas recebidas para que os participantes as avaliassem conforme grau de concordância da escala Likert. Nesta fase foram recebidas 26 respostas. Conclusões: Apesar das dificuldades vivenciadas, avaliou-se que a maior parte das experiências dos estágios foi positiva e possibilitou aprendizagens significativas sobre o modelo de atenção psicossocial, o funcionamento e dinâmica da instituição, o trabalho em equipe interdisciplinar e as produções de convivência, principalmente aos sujeitos que realizaram estágios com maior carga horária. Identificaram como importantes aprendizados as experiências de acompanhamento individual e grupal dos usuários, a construção de Projeto Terapêutico Singular e de redes, o trabalho territorial e intersetorial. A participação em reuniões, supervisões clínico-institucionais, multiprofissionais e em oficinas de reflexão com as docentes das Universidades foi considerada importante para a formação. O aprendizado de manejo de situações de crise e de conflitos e de técnicas de contenção foi considerado superficial. Identificou-se que modelo de gestão e o trabalho da equipe influenciam no desenvolvimento de autonomia e protagonismo dos estagiários. O fortalecimento da integração ensino-serviço-comunidade é necessário e a flexibilização das propostas instituídas poderia facilitar a construção conjunta dos planos de estágios. Como produtos desta pesquisa foram elaboradas propostas de modificações para melhor organização dos estágios no CAPS e para a integração ensino-serviço e de Plano de Estágio Supervisionado em Terapia Ocupacional para os estágios extracurriculares. Realizou-se também uma Revisão Integrativa das publicações científicas brasileiras sobre a formação de estudantes de graduação em Saúde Mental na perspectiva da Reforma Psiquiátrica. Por fim, compreendeu-se que as experiências ressoam nas práticas profissionais dos graduados de modo positivo. Os participantes que não atuam neste campo, disseram levar consigo a experiência do trabalho em equipe e de formas éticas e humanizadas de cuidado.

Perfis e práticas dos profissionais de saúde mental em dois hospitais psiquiátricos de grande porte

In the Brazilian network of psychosocial care, health professionals are important actors in the process of transformation of mental health public policies among various services. In the reality of psychiatric hospitals, one should understand the need to expand the debate about the current context of practices developed. This study aimed at analyzing the process of psychiatric reform and the mental health policy in the State of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) from the profiles and practices of higher-level professionals in two psychiatric hospitals. This is a cross-sectional and descriptive research, with quantitative and qualitative data, conducted in two psychiatric hospitals of RN. The universe of the target population was 95 professionals, taking into account the margin of error of 8%, non-response rate and the inclusion criteria: holding effective link with the institution by means of approval in public examination for, at least, six months, being state or municipal servant; having a minimum weekly workload of 20 hours in service; participating in care and/or activities with patients and families in a direct way. The final sample consisted of 60 professionals. The tool for data collection was a questionnaire with closed and semi-open questions about socioeconomic profile, and mental health policies, practices and training. Quantitative data were tabulated in the statistical software SPSS, and simple and bivariate statistics, chi-square type, was used for analysis by adopting the significance level with the value p<0,05. In order to analyze data, the content analysis of Bardin was used. The qualitative findings obtained with the semi-open questions in Analyse Lexicale par Context d'un Ensemble de Segments de Texte (ALCESTE) were grouped into four thematic axes: Professional action in mental health; Mental health training; Scenarios of psychiatric reform and psychiatric hospitals; Mental health policies and practices: challenges for professionals in hospitals. The profile of professionals has revealed the majority of women (89,7%), nurses (36,7%), aged 50-59 years (42,9%), weekly workload of 40 hours (52,4% ), time of completion of graduation from six to 15 years (57%), and 21,4% reported to have specialization in mental health. Regarding the practices developed in individual care, it was found an association between those who do not build or partially conducts the therapeutic project and those who conduct care related to observation and annotation. In family care, it was obtained care consultation during crisis; and, in group care, recreational activities. In the analysis of thematic axes, it was noted that, despite changes identified in the profiles and practices of higher-level professionals in care services for mental health, with the implementation of new public policies for this field, the findings indicate the confluence of asymmetries and divergences in the actions of the teams in psychiatric hospitals, difficulties in managing services, frequent readmissions, reduced quantitative of available services and equipment, high demand of users, disarticulation of the network of psychosocial care, and the very shortage of skilled human resources to compose these services. Accordingly, the evidenced scenarios partially outline the current political and ideological mismatch of the national process of psychiatric reform that denies the role of care actions conducted within hospitals, although it has not gone far enough with the creation of new services that justify the total extinction of this institution

A reforma psiquiátrica e a política de saúde mental do Rio Grande do Norte: papéis e funções de profissionais e gestores

This study arose from an interest in knowing the reality of mental health care in Rio Grande do Norte (RN) on the advances and challenges in the intersectoral agreements paths and consolidation of the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) from the state. Considering problematic and concerns were defined as objectives: Identify the knowledge of managers of Rio Grande do Norte on the National Mental Health Policy (PNSM) in the RN State; Describe the activities developed by health professionals in the individual service offered in the CAPS from RN; Understanding the relationship of managers’ knowledge on national mental health policy in professionals’ practice working in the the CAPS from the countryside. It is a descriptive study with a quantitative and qualitative approach, carried out in 30 CAPS from RN’s countryside, where 183 professionals answered a structured questionnaire with closed questions about the activities they do in individual care; and 19 mental health coordinators of municipalities and the state coordinator of RAPS were interviewed about their knowledge on the Mental Health Policy. Data were collected after approval by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, with the number 508.430 CAAE: 25851913.7.0000.5537 from August through October of 2014 in 26 municipalities with CAPS from the state. Quantitative data were tabulated and analyzed using a descriptive statistics aided by the software Statistical Package for the Social Scienses (SPSS) version 20.0. The qualitative data were prepared in a corpus and analyzed through software Analyse Lexicale par Contexte d’um Ensemble de Segments de Texte (ALCESTE) that allow to perform textual statistical analysis and categorization from their comments, submitted to Bardin content analysis. Five categories were generated approaching the managers’ knowledge, namely: Back to society: leadership and users’ role and autonomy; The gap between policy and practice; Barriers that affect the service; Structuring the Psychosocial Care Network; Multidisciplinary team: attribuitios and activities.

The results showed precariousness in care associated with physical workload regard to high workload and low wages of the CAPS professionals' and, also, it was possible to observe a large involvement of professionals in care delivery, despite the difficulties encountered in services. It was found little knowledge in managers regarding the National Mental Health Policy having as causes of this reality the poor education and training of these professionals. The responses of professionals working in care reveals strong consistency with what is expected of a psychosocial care service. Points up as a thesis of this study that the psychiatric reform and mental health policy in Rio Grande do Norte is following a structural expansion process, but with precariousness of services from a still unprepared management to act in a psychosocial context.

Sexualidade e saúde mental: construindo sentidos entre pessoas usuárias de um CAPS

When expressed by mental health services users, sexuality is typically denied by professionals, viewed as another symptom or as if these people are not capable of practicing it. Once Brazilian health professionals haven’t shown lots of investment in this theme, and few are the studies in this field, it is necessary the attention to be focused on researches involving this public. Therefore, the main goal of this study was understand the meanings of sexuality of the mental health services users, which were negotiated in sexuality workshops. The secondary goals were: a) understand the meanings of themes about sexuality brought by users through their experiences of everyday life; b) to evaluate the facilitating experience of the workshops on sexuality at CAPS. Thus, 10 workshops on sexuality were held, with an average of an hour and twenty minutes each, distributed from December 2014 and April 2015. There were 43 participants, 29 women and 14 men. The meetings had the following central themes: sexuality; sexuality and mental health; myths, beliefs and sexual taboos; gender identity; sexual orientation; sexual and reproductive rights; safe sex; and STD/AIDS. The data collection was through audio-recording of these meetings. Later, was made the transcript of the workshops, a careful reading of these transcripts and then its analysis. It was identified categories to analyze the interfaces that permeate the focus of the study. Initially, the categories relating to mental health and sexuality: meanings about sexuality; gender issues; gender and religion; sexual rights, STD/AIDS prevention and attention or denial of sexuality at CAPS. Later, those relating to the workshops facilitating process: challenges in facilitating the workshops; and the perception of the participants. A variety of meanings about sexuality could be noticed in the users’ statements, relating it more with affection and respect than with intercourse. The gender issues that emerged during the workshops were related to marital relationship, sexism, domestic violence, psychological violence and male and female roles in society. Moreover, were also revealed some situations that associated gender differences with religious issues, such as the submission of women and homosexuality. It was also noticed some experiences of the participants involving worrying situations of family violence, suicidal ideation and chemical castration, were often mismanaged or ignored by the service professionals. With regard to the facilitation of the workshops, it was possible to legitimize it as places where users were able to talk openly about the suggested themes and highlight its importance to the study site. Besides, it’s possible to list a few challenges of its facilitation in a mental health service, which was in general positively evaluated by the participants. Thus, the research highlights the need for sexuality theme discussion in mental health services, in order to understand, discuss and inform the users. Also, it’s important to problematize the stigma created in the theme relation with the users, the professionals and the society, working its specificities and avoiding a pathological bias.

Desnudando as condições para materialização da reforma psquiátrica em Natal/RN: para além da implantação dos serviços substitutivos em saúde mental

Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar a concretização da reforma psiquiátrica em natal, partindo de um dos serviços substitutivos que compõe a rede psicossocial deste município. A política de saúde mental tem passado por mudanças paradigmáticas, definindo como objetivo maior o processo de desistitucionalização. Redirecionando sua ação para os serviços substitutivos e não, mas o hospital psiquiátrico tradicional. Nesse cenário os Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) se mostram estratégicos para materialização dos objetivos pretendidos pela reforma psiquiátrica. O estudo transcorre dentro da perspectiva materialista dialética. A presente pesquisa teve como lócus de investigação empírica o primeiro Centros de Atenção Psicossocial implantado em Natal/RN. A escolha por um serviço extra-hospitalar vai ao encontro de uma postura defendida pelo movimento de Reforma Psiquiátrica. Considerando o CAPS um serviço substitutivo estratégico em saúde mental para a efetivação da Reforma Psiquiátrica, neste sentido objetivamos apreender as contradições que marcam o processo de concretização da Reforma Psiquiátrica através da vivência dos usuários e de suas famílias, no interior de uma unidade integrante do novo modelo de atenção em saúde mental. Partimos do pressuposto de que os usuários e seus familiares são sujeitoschave no processo de reforma psiquiátrica, por vivenciarem em seu cotidiano as mudanças concretas realizadas, que acenam para um processo de re-inserção social, mas também, contraditoriamente, os limites e entraves desse processo

A CRONIFICAÇÃO NOS SERVIÇOS SUBSTITUTIVOS NA REDE DE SAÚDE MENTAL DE NATAL/RN

Brazilian Psychiatry Reform, through Psychosocial Care Strategy, has intended to build insane people care practices from community care services which contemplates the subjects complete lives. However, to change the traditional care ways demands the facing of a series of epistemological, political and cultural obstacles. One of the current challenges deals with patients aggravation processes, with management ways, with devices and with professionals, as well as with the assistance network. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how these aggravation processes has been constituted in Natal mental healthcare network, understanding its effects in the work teams and patients. Theoretical and methodological perspective used was Institutional analysis was, subsidizing the usage of concept-tools as the implication analysis, selfmanagement and self-analysis, and restitution. The research was carried out at the Natal East Sanitary District Mental Healthcare Clinic, with the participation of technicians and patients. The research procedures were: literature and document research on the attendance and the analyzed theme; attendance registers analysis; participating observation of the institutional routine for three months and field log entries; talking groups, one with the team and one with the patients. Two main discussion points are shown: 1. The mental healthcare clinic organization logic and the intersector politics; 2. The work and management processes developed at the mental healthcare clinic. The analysis show diversity in the attended demands in the service, which has favored the patients aggravation, this device and the substitute network processes. The work processes are apart from the political sphere and from the managements processes. In this sense, we show the need to reevaluate the clinic device as well as the management models adopted in the Brazilian Psychiatry Reform context
