Users' expectations with regard to mental health actions: a phenomenological study

Abstract

Aim: To understand the expectations of users with regard to actions aimed at mental health, as developed as part of the Family Health Strategy. Method: This is a qualitative approach in which we use a social phenomenological perspective. Sixteen users were interviewed in two family health units in Porto Alegre/Rio Grande do Sul. Results: Users focus on access to the services and supplies offered by the staff of the two family health units, and the establishment of a social relationship. Discussion: Users sought the services of the units in order to meet the demand for the prevention of mental illness and its complications, to promote and restore health, or even to establish social relationships with the units' professionals. Conclusion: Meeting these expectations is crucial to ensuring the users' access to health services at different levels of complexity, and to strengthen the care elements of the involvement of professionals and users by means of the recognition of social interaction as a therapeutic device.

O papel da atenção primária de saúde na constituição das redes de cuidado em saúde mental The role of primary attention in health on the constitution of the network care in mental health

“…Psychiatric consultation is very important for the care of a user, but it is not enough to promote psychosocial resocialization and should not be highlighted as the only therapeutic possibility in mental health services. 2,17,22 Studies indicate that pharmacological treatment still continues to be the most valued action by professionals, who administer and deliver the medications, as well as give guidance on the correct use. 2 Drug treatment is still conceived as a central aspect of psychosocial care, constituting itself as a disciplinary strategy of physical and psychic containment of the person in mental suffering.…”
