Patients with primary malignant brain tumor endure several motor and cognitive dysfunctions, demanding the presence of a caregiver even more because the time necessary for their assistance increases considerably. Usually this task is performed by a family relative, whose activities include taking care of the patient’s personal hygiene, escorting them to medical appointments, managing their money and performing their housework. All of this overwhelms the caregiver both physical and psychologically. This bibliographic research intends to analyze the role in which a caregiver plays in the quality of life of those kinds of patients, the complications of such task, the caregivers’ needs and the daily life of those terminal patients. It was used CAPES, PubMed and Google Academic databases for researching articles related to family caregivers who assisted adult patients with primary malignant brain tumor. The study concluded that being a caregiver of patients in such conditions harms one’s quality of life, with consequences such as stress, insomnia, financial problems and lack of social support. Theirs needs include: having someone to talk to about the matter, attending programs for reducing stress and increasing their knowledge about the disease. In advanced phases of the condition, the patient shows great mobility problems, aphasia and regular seizures, which end up overwhelming the caregiver. The level of quality of life found was above other types of cancer’s caregivers. Therefore, they represent a group with special needs, which should be especially handled by health professionals.

Investigated in this paper, as contributions to Foucault's genealogy of knowledge, the historical constitution of the joint activities between Work and Care in Mental Health (called Therapeutic Workshops, among other names) in their different purposes and dimensions that contributed to the production care of patients with psychological distress at different times. History is here understood as a multiplicity (and nonlinearity) of time series and various blending and shuffleforming speeches as truths. In conjunction we have discussed, we conclude that the work as a therapeutic modality in nursing homes, there emerged in the world of psychiatry, but of capitalism. Associated with measures of occupation "empty minds" of misfits, later earned the position of an instrument of discipline and social regulation. With the Psychiatric Reform, activities Work in Mental Health have been re-invented as spaces enablers of access to citizenship and contractuality social network users.

This study approached perceptions of mental illness by nineteen professionals who work in a Family Health Unit, by means of graphic representations (drawings). We used qualitative methods. Data was collected by means of a Presentative-Expressive Procedure. Four themes were identified using Thematic Analysis. The professionals associate mental disorders with: health care, medical-centered view, exclusion/inclusion, social environment. These perceptions are related to a biological paradigm, favoring the reproduction of prejudices about mental illness. The analysis also emphasizes the importance of a wide range of cares, while considering how difficult it may be for the professionals. We conclude that it is necessary to invest on professional preparation, in an attempt to transform ideoaffective contents presented by the subjects’ imaginary.

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a discursividade de gestores sobre a relação entre a organização dos serviços de saúde e a gestão do cuidado à tuberculose (TB) em um município da região metropolitana de João Pessoa/PB. Conduzido pela pesquisa qualitativa no campo analítico da Análise de Discurso de linha francesa, participaram 16 trabalhadores de saúde que atuavam como integrantes de equipes gestoras. Os depoimentos transcritos foram organizados com uso do software Atlas.ti versão 6.0. Após leitura minuciosa do material empírico procurou-se observar nos discursos os processos parafrásicos, polissêmicos e metafóricos, os quais possibilitaram a identificação da seguinte formação discursiva: organização dos serviços de saúde e a relação com a gestão do cuidado à TB; o plano e a prática. Nos discursos dos gestores evidencia-se a fragmentação das ações de controle da tuberculose, a falta de articulação entre os serviços e os setores, o cumprimento de atividades específicas à TB, bem como a falta de planejamento estratégico para gestão do cuidado da doença. Nesse sentido, para que a organização dos serviços de saúde seja efetiva, se faz necessário que a tuberculose seja prioridade na agenda da gestão e reconhecida como um problema social.
