This qualitative research aimed to investigate the social life of patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia at a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS), and identify how the therapeutic process offered by the CAPS has contributed to their social lives. The subjects of the study were patients with schizophrenia, between eighteen and forty years of age and registered at the CAPS in Uberaba, Brazil. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview. Three categories were identified: the patients' life before and after the illness, their everyday life outside CAPS and CAPS care contributing to their social life and stabilization of symptoms. The results showed that the CAPS regimen enhances treatment compliance and decreases hospitalization. However, social functioning for schizophrenic patients occurs within the family and treatment contexts. This reality evidences the need for a partnership with the Family Health Strategy and the community to improve socialization.

AbstractPurposeRestriction in involuntary hospital admission and reduced lengths of inpatient stay increase burden on relatives of individuals with schizophrenia. This study aims at assessing the relationship between caregiver burden and behavioural disturbances of the affected, e.g. threats, nuisances, but also substance use and aggression. Two weeks before the last hospitalisation of the affected are considered as being the most burdensome period for relatives.Subjects and methodsSixty-four relatives of schizophrenic patients were assessed by the semi-structured “Interview for Measuring the Burden on the Family”. Subscales and total scales of burden were calculated. Predictors were identified by regression analyses.ResultsThe most important predictor of burden is burden in the relationship between caregiver and the affected representing the changes in the relationship occurring in acute illness. Threats, nuisances, time spent with the affected, and burden due to restricted social life and leisure activities were additional predictors, but not aggression or substance abuse. Eighty-five percent of the cases could be assigned correctly.Discussion and conclusionsTo better encounter burden, relatives should learn to cope with disturbing behaviour of and altered relationship to the affected, but also with their own needs. Finally, relatives must be included in the decision whether or not an affected person should be hospitalised.

The aims of this study were: to identify the therapeutic activities of a psychosocial care center specifically for family members, and to consider whether the care offered provided benefits to the relationship between the family and alcohol users. This was a qualitative research study, and included 15 families of alcohol users from Minas Gerais. The data collection occurred during January and March of 2012. Thematic analysis was used. The analysis identified three themes: 1) relationship: before and after the initiation of treatment in the service; 2) assistance for the family; 3) treatment suggestions. The results showed that the care in the service contributed to improving the family relationship, but families provided some suggestions to improve this care. We concluded that the service was an important provider of social support for improving the family relationship.

Objective: to understand the perception of family members of psychoactive substance dependents on the elements of the functioning of their family in family resilience. Method: a qualitative approach study, based on the theoretical interpretive framework of family resilience from a systemic perspective. The participants were eleven family members of psychoactive substance dependents from a Psychosocial Care Center - Alcohol and Drugs, from a city in the state of São Paulo. For data collection, semi-structured interview, genogram and ecomap were used. Data analysis was based on the Content Analysis technique, thematic category. Results: from the interviews, three thematic categories were formulated: mobilization in search of support and social support; positive perspectives that would strengthen the family, and assertive communication. These categories point to references to the mobilization and unity of the family in search of social support in the intra-family, extended family and extra-family contexts and positive perspectives, such as persistence, perseverance, hope, faith and religiousness. Conclusion: the situation of having a psychoactive substance dependent in the family seemed to mobilize coping devices and attempts to overcome them through the resilience forces. The results may favor the daily clinical reasoning of the health professionals, helping them to recognize and value the identified resilience attributes.

Background: Elderly mental health is an important topic of discussion to Brazilian public health because it involves factors related to the training of health professionals focused on these demands in the Family Health Strategy. Objectives: To make a similarity analysis about the training of the Family Health Strategy professionals for psychosocial care for the elderly. Methodology: Qualitative research carried out with 31 professionals from the Family Health Strategy in the city of Picos, Piauí, Brazil. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview script. The interviews were performed in a reserved room and recorded with the aid of an MP4 player. The data were processed by the IRAMUTEQ software and analyzed through similarity analysis that is based on graph theory. Results: The study participants were 13 doctors and 18 nurses, 27 (87.09%) were female. The training time of these professionals was comprised between 2 to 32 years of training and the duration of the Health Strategy from 1 year to 16 years. According to the co-occurrence tree, the data indicate that: the word "elderly" is at the heart of the ramifications and expresses how family and professionals can contribute to treatment; another demonstrated representation is that it is difficult for professionals to carry out their activities with the elderly due to lack of training in the specific area of ​​mental health. Conclusion: the family plays a fundamental role in the elderly care with psychosocial needs and the professionals of the Family Health Strategy present difficulties to carry out comprehensive care due to deficiencies in their training. Keywords: Mental health. Family Health. Elderly.

Estudo com o objetivo de analisar a produção das equipes da Estratégia de Saúde da Família, com base em indicadores do Sistema de Informação da Atenção Básica, antes e após a implantação do Programa para Melhoria da Qualidade na Atenção Básica. Utilizou-se abordagem quantitativa, transversal, descritiva e exploratória, a partir dos Relatórios da Situação de Saúde e Acompanhamento das Famílias, referentes às equipes. Foram incluídas 112 equipes divididas em dois grupos. Realizou-se análise descritiva do conjunto de indicadores e procedeu-se a estatística exploratória e analítica para comparar as diferenças entre os grupos. Constatou-se que as equipes, independentemente de aderirem ou não ao programa, obtiveram incremento nos registros do sistema de informação, sinalizando uma sensibilização de toda a rede para melhoria dos seus registros. Apesar deste aumento, o acompanhamento das famílias não ocorreu na mesma proporção que os cadastramentos.
