Opinions of the staff and users about the quality of the mental health care delivered at a family health program

Authors aimed at learning about the mental health care provided at a Family Health Program. 142 subjects were interviewed (18 nurses, 78 agents, 17 patients and 29 family members). In order to collect data, authors used the Scale of Opinion on Mental Health Care with 25 statements on the care, orientation by the members of the Program of Family Health team and the benefits of this Program. The total scores showed a difference between the agents and other groups. Among nurses, they found the shorter deviation and among the patients the greater variability in the responses. They emphasize the need for efficacy in arranging the appointments. Authors found a lack of coherence among the opinions of the subjects regarding the professionals' orientations.

And Performance

This study aimed to understand the conception and performance of health education developed by the Family Health Team with a view to clients' participation. Qualitative study carried out with clients and professionals at the Family Health Program (FHP) in Crato, CE, Brazil. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observation between May and September, 2005. Data were organized according to content analysis and literature. Findings indicate that professionals view health education as guidance and teaching focused on disease prevention and the participation of clients is perceived as listening and attention. Thus, FHP professionals need to broaden their understanding of health education and educative strategies, which should be culturally meaningful, so that clients freely and consciously decide on their participation and behavioral change in health.

Epidemiological Characteristics

Objetivo: Verificar a utilização da automedicação pela população residente em um bairro de Itajubá, Minas Gerais, atendida por Equipe de Saúde da Família, e identificar suas características socioepidemiológicas. Materiais e métodos: Foram visitadas 238 famílias e aplicou-se um questionário, elaborado pelos pesquisadores, apenas aos indivíduos que utilizaram medicamento sem prescrição nos 30 dias anteriores ao dia da pesquisa. Resultados: Entre as 839 pessoas selecionadas (238 famílias visitadas), 183 indivíduos (21,8%) utilizaram, no mínimo, um medicamento sem prescrição nos últimos 30 dias anteriores à entrevista. Destes, 66,1% eram mulheres e 87,4% tinham mais de 18 anos. Os analgésicos foram os medicamentos mais utilizados (62,2%) e a cefaleia, a condição mais comum (50,8%). O medicamento foi escolhido pelo próprio indivíduo, em 32% dos casos. Conclusão: A automedicação em população assistida por Equipe de Saúde da Família foi menor do que em população sem a mesma assistência, porém mais estudos com a abordagem adotada são necessários. Palavras Chave: Automedicação; Programa Saúde da Família; Medicamentos. Objective: To investigate the use of self-medication by the population of a district of Itajubá, Minas Gerais, attended by the Family Health Team, and to identify their socio-epidemiological characteristics. Materials and methods: 238 families were visited and a questionnaire, developed by the researchers was applied only to the individuals who used drugs without prescription in the 30 days before the day of the survey. Results: Among the 839 people selected (visited 238 families), 183 people (21.8%) used at least one drug without prescription in the previous 30 days. Of these, 66.1% were women and 87.4% were over 18 years of age. The painkillers were the most frequently used medications (62.2%) and headache was the most common condition (50.8%). The drug was chosen on account of the own individual in 32% of cases. Conclusion: The self-medication in a population assisted by the Family Health Team was smaller than in people without the same assistance, but more studies with the used approach are necessary.

This chapter examines how values influence the heterogeneity of depression. The plurality of values is increasingly significant for contemporary person-centred mental health care with its emphasis on quality of life and development of self-manvnagement skills. Values-based practice is a partner with medical law invn working with the plurality of personal values. The chapter explains what values are, shows how the plurality of values influences the heterogeneity of depression at several levels, and provides an overview of values-based practice. It looks at the resources available for combining values-based practice with medical law in contemporary person-centred care and indicates some of the challenges this raises. It concludes with a brief reflection on these challenges understood as an instance of what the political philosopher Isaiah Berlin called the challenge of pluralism.

Although there are numerous quality of care frameworks, little attention has been given to the essential concepts that encompass quality mental healthcare. HealthCare CAN and the Mental Health Commission of Canada co-lead the Quality Mental Health Care Network (QMHCN), which has developed a quality mental healthcare framework, building on existing provincial, national, and international frameworks. HealthCare CAN conducted an environmental scan, key informant interviews, and focus groups with individuals with lived experiences to develop the framework. This article outlines the findings from this scan, interviews and focus groups.

Developed World

Mental health care in the second half of the 20th century in much of the developed world has been dominated by the move out from large asylums. Both in response to this move and to make it possible, a pattern of care has evolved which is most commonly referred to as ‘Community Psychiatry’. This narrative review describes this process, from local experimentation into the current era of evidence-based mental health care. It focuses on three main areas of this development: (i) the reprovision of care for those discharged during deinstitutionalisation; (ii) the evolution and evaluation of its characteristic feature the Community Mental Health Team; and (iii) the increasing sophistication of psychosocial interventions developed to support patients. It finishes with an overview of some current challenges.
