Análise bibliográfica da produção em: Saúde sobre adolescentes cumprindo medidas socioeducativas de privação de liberdade

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the publication of scientific articles about health of adolescents undergoing socio-educational measures of deprivation of liberty in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. An integrative systematic review was made in the following databases between 2000-2015: Scopus (67 articles), Scielo (73), Virtual Library in Health—BVS (50) and Pubmed/Medline (13), totalizing 218 documents. After exclusion of duplicates and documents that do not meet the inclusion criteria, remained 42 documents. These underwent a thematic categorization as follows: description of adolescents in conflict with the law (15 documents); concepts, laws and history of socio-educational measures and institutional actions for adolescents deprived of their liberty (8); health (9); social representation of adolescents in conflict with the law (5); and family relationship (5). A total of 57.1% of the articles were published between 2010 and 2015, especially in psychology and public health journals, mostly with qualitative methodology and published by researchers from the South and Southeast of Brazil. After analyzing the results, it was found a greater emphasis on mental health's studies, in contrast to an almost total lack of studies on physical health. It can also be observed that poor care and health promotion of the adolescent deprived of freedom are complex and multifactorial challenges, due to the difficulty of the health network coordination in meeting the institutionalized adolescent, or the persistence of punitive logic in institutions for socio-education.
