OBJECTIVE:To describe infrastructure, human resources, and care approaches in psychosocial healthcare services.
METHODS:Descriptive study including 21 psychossocial healthcare services for adults affi liated to the local health department in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, conducted between 2007 and 2008. Information about infrastructure of facilities, human resources available and patient care was collected using a standardized instrument. There were performed descriptive data analysis and chi-square test to test the association between care activities and service source and location.
RESULTS:Ten services were fi rst created as outpatient clinics and later adapted, eight were day hospitals and only three were created as psychosocial healthcare services. None of them was open 24 hours a day. Half of them were located in rented buildings with inadequate infrastructure especially for group activities. Staff composition was very different among services, with emphasis on on-site group activities and little integration to other health services. All services provided mostly arts and cultural activities. Earlier outpatient services provided mainly craft activities and former day-hospitals offered mostly psychophysical integration activities. The profi le of activities varied according to the geographical distribution of services.
CONCLUSIONS:Current heterogeneous character of psychosocial healthcare services seems associated to the history of mental health care programs that have been implemented in São Paulo since 1980s and to social, economic and cultural differences in different areas of the city. Different psychosocial care approaches were found ranging from on-site care with little integration with other health services to services that refer their users to other services after symptoms become stable in an attempt to create a network of mental health care.
were analyzed. The analysis included statements from coordinators on the objectives of the observed activities. Based on theoretical psychosocial health care frameworks, content analysis was used to investigate the relationship between the therapeutic tools used and the objectives of the activities.
RESULTS:Three trends of health care were identifi ed: (1) strictly clinical, was predominant and characterized by activities carried out within the centers, with a focus on personal skills and group interactions; (2) psychosocial, including outdoor activities, widening the cultural repertoire and social circulation and; (3) residual, in the minority and without psychosocial benefi ts.
CONCLUSIONS:Carrying out rat and cultural activities which result in health care from the perspective of psychosocial rehabilitation depends on the health care professionals' access to cultural assets and creative procedures, on the recognition of these activities as part of the coordinated work of a team and on all those involved being considered as actual producers of culture.
Resumo O estudo da presença de práticas artísticas e culturais na produção do cuidado ao longo da história da atenção pública à saúde mental na região metropolitana de São Paulo contribui para compreender e caracterizar as práticas adotadas nos atuais Centros de Atenção Psicossocial no município. São abordadas experiências desenvolvidas entre os anos 1920 e 1990, com base em pesquisa bibliográfica. Os dados da atualidade provêm de pesquisa em 126 oficinas realizadas em 21 Centros de Atenção Psicossocial do município, no período de abril/2007 a abril/2008. Conclui-se que uma tendência de cuidado cuja perspectiva clínica se situa na interface da arte e da saúde mental, com desdobramentos em direção ao território, mantém traços de características encontradas em experiências anteriores.
