Network Action for the Care of Adolescent Victims of Violence: Challenges and Possibilities

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the perception of health care service managers about the network action for the care of adolescent victims of violence. A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study conducted from May to July of 2013. The subjects were 15 managers of a hospital that is a referral center for cases of violence in the Brazilian State of Pernambuco. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and explored using content analysis. The results indicate that social work plays an aggregating and interconnecting role as required by the network action. The health care network is appreciated, but regarded as providing insufficient actions, with lack of standardization of care and service flow. We conclude that the subjects show a positive perception of the role of the studied service, but they point out a lack of specific technical standards in the health care sector aimed at high quality care for adolescents.

Vivências De Violência No Processo De Formação Em Enfermagem: Repercussões Na Corporeidade Dos Jovens

“…Support is sought for the implementation of public policies to deal with violence, as well as to draw attention to the need to consolidate the network that integrates professionals from different areas and services. 12 In the international scenario, there is a tendency towards studies that seek to associate intrafamily violence with mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, anger and low self-esteem, revealing a significant association between these factors. [3][4] Another perspective on violence is the bullying suffered by young homosexuals in the school context.…”

Atenção Psicossocial Infantojuvenil: Interfaces Com a Rede De Saúde Pelo Sistema De Referência E Contrarreferência

“…These findings are comparable to other studies carried out in relation to the referral process, albeit developed in CAPS types I and II. 13 Given the strategic role of CAPS in building a community network of care articulated with each other in order to abolish psychiatric hospitals, and in order to constitute a set of references capable of absorbing and accommodating individuals in psychological distress, 14 this type of referral should no longer be part of this care process. In this case, the situation may even be more worrying, since the public health network presents difficulties in making beds available for children and adolescents in general hospitals, which causes insecurity on the part of psychosocial care.…”

Trabalho E Sofrimento: Desafios Da Saúde Mental De Profissionais Da Assistência Social

“…As pesquisas no Brasil voltadas para o trabalho realizado junto a grupos e pessoas que sofreram ou que estão ameaçadas de sofrer algum tipo de violência geralmente referem-se a intervenções e atendimentos às vítimas, colocando em evidência as condições psicossociais dos que necessitam e buscam auxílio, tanto em organizações não governamentais como nas instituições públicas (Oliveira, 2017;Barbiani, 2016;Faraj & Siqueira, 2012;Neves, Castro, Hayeck, & Cury, 2010). Entretanto, pouca atenção ainda tem sido dada ao sofrimento psíquico vivenciado pelos profissionais que atendem violações de direitos, como é o caso dos trabalhadores dos CREAS.…”
