Devido ao aumento da longevidade, há a necessidade cada vez maior de pessoas que atuem como cuidadores de idosos. Para se conhecer quais são suas estratégias de coping e autocuidado, foi realizada uma análise de produção científica sobre o tema, com artigos encontrados na biblioteca virtual da SciELO e nas bases de dados, PsycInfo, ERIC e MEDLINE, publicados entre os anos de 2004 e 2014.Observou-se que 35% das pesquisas foram realizadas no domicílio dos cuidadores e 52% dos pesquisadores eram da América do Norte. Em 2011 houve um aumento de 16% nas publicações sobre o tema e o tipo de pesquisa mais utilizado foi a descritiva com 73,33% da preferência dos autores. As temáticas mais abordadas foram: a avaliação da qualidade de vida e a necessidade de programas de treinamento e capacitação de cuidadores. Palavras-chave: Velhice. Cuidador de Idosos. Autocuidado.
Due to the great demand for psychological care in Basic Health Units (UBS), several intervention proposals have been carried out, aiming at quality care covering a greater number of people. A resource that has been used very often are therapeutic consultations, which allow careful listening, in which the therapist can work with the patient on their anguish, suffering and problems. Based on this service proposal, this work aimed to raise a critical reflection regarding the realization of therapeutic consultations by psychology students in a Basic Health Unit -BHU in Greater São Paulo. Twenty-eight patients of both genders, aged between 4 and 68 YEARS, participated in the research, who, after performing a screening, were divided into two groups: Group I, with a single meeting based on the model of therapeutic consultations, and Group II with which individual psychological care was performed with 12 sessions. It was observed that the two methods of psychological care were highly effective in seeking to provide psychological care to the large portion of the population that seeks this type of care in public health services.
