Objective: To understand how the professionals of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) develop their actions with people who need mental health care. Methods and results: This is an observational and descriptive research, which predominantly had a qualitative approach. The participants of this research were the professionals of the Reference Teams of the Family Health Strategy of a municipality in the interior of Ceará, in this case, doctors, nurses and dental surgeons. The sample was of twenty participants, which was given by theoretical saturation about the object of study. For the data collection, two techniques were used: semi-structured interview and simple observation. This project was submitted and approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Ceará (CAAE: 44321015.4.0000.55.34 - Report No.: 1,082,101 / 2015). The data were organized through the technique of the Discourse of the Collective Subject. The results showed that health professionals are not yet ready to promote mental health care in primary care, since they still conceive mental health care from the asylum paradigm and, therefore, act based on the prevalence of diagnosis Psychiatric care, individual care, prescription drugs and renewal of prescriptions. Conclusion: In this regard, we emphasize the need to invest in continuing education for professionals in order to train them for the mental health act.

Objective To aprehend the social representations about the solvability in mental health care with users of the Family Health Strategy and professionals of family health teams and of the Center for Psychosocial Care. Method A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews for data collection, and the Alceste software for analysis. This software uses the Hierarchical Descending Classification based on the examination of lexical roots, considering the words as units and providing context in the corpus. Results The representations emerge in two opposing poles: the users require satisfaction with care and the professionals realize the need for improvement of health actions. Although the matricial support in mental health and the home visits are developed, the barriers related to investment in health, continuing education and organization of care persist. Conclusion The different representations enable improvements in customer service, solvability of care and aggregate knowledge and practices in the expanded perspective of health needs in the family, social and therapeutic context.

The implementation of Mental Health actions in the Family Health Strategy (ESF) still represents a challenge for professionals and health managers, although several experiences of practice are known in Brazil. Based on a literature review, we aimed to systematize the main elements of the facilities and difficulties in the insertion of mental health in the context of ESF. If it is possible to identify similarities between the characteristics reported in the literature, we found that the relationship between professionals and community, the knowledge about the reality of the communities and the proposed actions for prevention and health promotion will facilitate the development of mental health actions in the ESF. Still, the lack of professional training, the medicalized and fragmented mental health design, the lack of a support network for the actions of professionals and the prejudice against mental disorders are factors that make the implementation of health care difficult, what must be focus of technical actions and policies to subsidize the construction of mental health care, focused on deinstitutionalization.

The Family Health Strategy Service (FHSS) is an important ally in the mental health system, contributing to the completeness and effectiveness of care. This study aimed to discuss the mental health care network as compared to the daily routine of an FHSS. It is an evaluative study with a qualitative methodological approach. It was developed in an FHSS in Porto Alegre-RS, Brazil. Data was collected between July and December of 2010 through interviews with 16 workers and ten relatives. We identified important resources in primary health care, such as partnerships with academia. However, the constitution of this care is still based on specialty, following the logic of patient referral. Our intention for this study was to contribute to the operationalization of the mental health care network, consolidating the partnership with the FHSS and developing activities in the territorial space, raising awareness, demystifying health care service in the area, and countering the perception that it is uniquely specialized.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate child’s mental health care in the context of the Family Health Strategy, from the professionals' perspective. Methods: A qualitative case study type, using the Fourth Generation Assessment as a methodological reference. Fourteen professionals from two teams of the Family Health Strategy of Porto Alegre/RS were the participants. Data collection extended from May to August 2018, and consisted of observations and interviews through the dialectical hermeneutic circle, and of analysis through the Constant Comparative Method. Results: The analytical category emerged of Mental Health Care for Children related to home visit, care network, advice, team meeting and space in the medical agenda. Conclusions: The results show that the FHS is an important psychosocial care space and that, at the same time, presents weaknesses in cross-sectorial work and needs support from the mental health services network to accompanying children and families.

AbstractIntroduction The Family Health Strategy program (FHS) was created with the aim to strengthen primary care through multidisciplinary practices, focused of health care to the family and community. In this sense, the incorporation of other professionals, other than provided in the minimum composition, such as the physical therapist, may contribute to enhance the comprehensiveness of health care.Objective To know how the user perceives the need of a physical therapist in the FHS.Methodology This is a qualitative research of 60 users of a Family Health Center in a city in western Santa Catarina. Data collection was performed at users’ homes by means of an interview. It contained questions about users’ knowledge on physiotherapy and the need to include this professional in the FHS team. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis.Results Regarding the users’ knowledge about the physical therapist, we could observe that users perceive this professional as the one who works in rehabilitation. As for the need for the physical therapists insertion in the FHS staff, users highlighted that it is important to facilitate access to physical therapy services and to expand the comprehensiveness of health care to the user.Final considerations It is clear that users recognize the role of physiotherapy in primary care, realizing the need for its inclusion in the FHS. This fact emphasizes that it is necessary to (re)consider the training process of this professional, approaching theory and practice of the FHS guidelines and the principles of the Unified Health System.

Results: the following health needs were identified: psychoactive drugs consumption, lack of activities for collective care and difficulty with access to service. The expansion of actions and intersectoral involvement of actors were demonstrated as the educational attitudes were implemented.

Objective: to analyze a process of Permanent Education in Health about mental health with Family Health teams. Method: research-intervention performed with 20 workers from two teams of the Family Health Strategies. Semi-structured interviews and 12 reflection meetings were carried out with each team. The principles of Institutional Socio-clinic were used to guide the meetings and the analysis of the data. Results: seven beaconing tips were identified for the Process of Permanent Education in Health: effects produced from the choices of inclusion of the management in the planning of the meetings, revealing established ways of working; attention to non-control in training movements; use of restitution at meetings, reducing stiffness and tensions; attention to the institutions that cross us; analysis of the facilitator’s involvement in the training, redirecting behaviors and attitudes; problematization about the object, instrument and purpose, which favored the reflection about the mental health care and to learn to facilitate and experience the Permanent Education in Health in the act of making. Conclusions: socio-clinic assisted the experience of facilitating in-service training, pointing out tips for the collective construction of contextualized, reflexive and problematizing knowledge.
