Trabalho em equipe nos serviços de saúde mental: percepção dos residentes

Abstract

The composition of teams working in mental health services has undergone some changes over the years, both in relation to their configuration and their level of interaction. In addition to multidisciplinary mental health teams, multidisciplinary health residency programs are included, which aim to contribute to a new way of providing assistance to people who needs the health services, within health services. The present study aimed to understand the perception of mental health residents about teamwork in mental health services. This is a qualitative study, whose participants were residents of the Mental Health Care emphasis, who work in specialized mental health services of the Psychosocial Care Network of a municipality in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The study was carried out through a semi-structured interview from August to September 2023 and followed the ethical principles for research with human beings. As a result, the perception of mostly multidisciplinary work in services stands out, seen on a daily basis through team meetings to discuss cases. Furthermore, fragmented actions within the teams were also highlighted, as well as residents' lack of knowledge about the concepts of multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teamwork. As a contribution of this study, we highlight the notes regarding the current panorama of teamwork in mental health services, its positive points and its weaknesses.
