Projeto de intervenção para a reorganização da atenção aos pacientes psiquiátricos graves do município de Mendes Pimentel - MG: um eixo estruturador entre a saúde da família e a saúde mental

Abstract

Worldwide, there are about four million people with some kind of mental disorder, neurological or psychological problems. These people still suffer from lack of care, discrimination and social exclusion. In Brazil, the attention to this population group is closely related to the Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), since it is configured as a gateway for people seeking health care. In this context, this study aims to formulate strategies to assist patients in psychiatric treatment within primary care in the city of Mendes Pimentel - MG. Therefore, we conducted a literature review which included an analysis and discussion of relevant publications about the topic. The research was conducted from January to May 2013 in the databases BIREME, BVS and Google Scholar. After reading, twenty articles in Portuguese on the theme-seven references of the Ministry of Health and World Health Organization, these references were studied and form the theoretical basis of the work, and also supported the structure of the project proposed intervention. It is hoped, with this project, improve the care of patients with mental disorders as well as create a system of reference and counter reference in the city of Mendes Pimentel, where professionals have the opportunity to communicate and share experiences.
