Abstract
SILVA, Silvana Correia et al. Attention to the mental health crisis in specialized services of the community network: a systematic review. Revista Portuguesa de Enfermagem de Saúde Mental [online]. 2021, n.26, pp.124-139. Epub Dec 31, 2021. ISSN 1647-2160. https://doi.org/10.19131/rpesm.314.
Background:
Interventions in the mental health crisis represent one of the main challenges of psychiatric reform and in Brazil a set of care practices based on psychosocial care is carried out. The Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) corresponds to an open, community and referral health service in the public network for mental health. It must function, throughout the national territory, as a strategic device to avoid admissions to psychiatric hospitals, incorporating anti-asylum logic to its operation.
Aim:
The study sought to investigate interventions in the mental health crisis at CAPS.
Metodology:
A systematic literature review was carried out with articles published between 2009 and 2019, using descriptors in the databases of PubMed, Virtual Health Library, Cochrane Library and PsycINFO.
Results:
Of the 1,111 studies found, 5 were included in the systematic review, totaling 70 participants in different CAPS modalities. The professionals carried out actions according to the psychiatric reform proposal in Brazil, although there were still those who used drug intervention and psychiatric hospitalization.
Conclusions:
The actions are implemented by some professionals, which should be done by all, considering that the strategic function of CAPS is to avoid reproducing asylum actions.
