Acompanhamento dos pacientes com transtorno mental em estratégia saúde da família: proposta de intervenção

Abstract

The municipality of Chapada Gaúcha is located in the semi-arid north of Minas Gerais and has a population centered on the rural economy, moving towards economic and technological agriculture. It has satisfactory rates of literacy and public education, which is a promising aspect for the population. The health system consists of five family health teams and a municipal health unit, where urgent and emergency care is provided. Considering the most prevalent injuries to the Friends of the People's Family Health Strategy (FHS), psychiatric illnesses were considered of sufficient relevance and prevalence for specific health actions to be developed, both due to issues intrinsic to patients, such as success in treatment and level of reintegration into society, as to society itself, with its stigmas and ignorance about the topic. The objective of this work is to elaborate an action plan to improve the assistance of patients with mental disorders monitored at the ESF Amigos do Povo, Chapada Gaúcha, MG. The work plan was based on the Situational Strategic Planning and the literature review was carried out in the Scientific Eletronic Library On Line (SciELo) and in official government pages. It is expected that with the implementation of actions, families will become more prepared to support patients, that the team will become more prepared in a specific way to serve this population and, consequently, the success rates of treatment and reintegration of patients in society with full control of their disorders increase. With this, it is expected an increase in the quality of life of patients with mental disorders, making the unit become a support point of high relevance for them, where they can continue the treatments and thus reducing the volume of referrals. specialized mental health centers.
