Projeto de intervenção em Saúde Mental na Unidade Básica de Saúde Indígena Guiomar Alves Julião, Aldeia de Santa Rosa, Anacé, do município de Caucaia no Ceará

Abstract

The importance of discussing mental health has been growing exponentially in society and in governments. A quality approach to this topic, from basic care to specialized care when necessary, generates good results in treatment and cure rates. This project aims to develop an intervention plan that addresses reception, promotion and education in mental health for users of the Basic Health Unit of the Aldeia de Santa Rosa community, Anacé, in the municipality of Caucaia, in the state of Ceará. Traditional communities, such as indigenous peoples, have a high incidence and prevalence of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and suicide. In the village of Santa Rosa, we deal with great adversities in the management of these patients, such as access to mental health specialists, high demand for new cases and lack of adherence to treatments and professional monitoring. To this end, the Situational Strategic Planning method was used as the methodology, following the steps to identify critical nodes, as well as a bibliographic survey on the Virtual Health Library and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) platforms. With the implementation of this project’s actions, it is expected to identify approximately 80% of the users cataloged as the target population and, with this, to have a more reliable overview of the unit’s reality in relation to the topic and, in addition, to provide adequate medical assistance to these users. With the help of established partnerships, adequate training will be carried out for health team professionals with the aim of ensuring that they acquire the necessary knowledge to provide better care to patients, making the health unit a place of welcome and a safe haven.
