Intervenções de enfermagem em saúde mental na Atenção Primária à Saúde: revisão de escopo

Abstract

Objective: To map and synthesize the mental health interventions performed by nurses working in Primary Health Care in Brazil. Method: This is a scoping review, carried out in the following databases: VHL, PUBMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, PsycINFo, EBSCO, BMC Psychology, BMC Nursing, BMC Psychiatry, PEPsic, Google Scholar, CAPES Theses and Dissertations Database. Data were analyzed and synthesized in a narrative form. Results: A total of 60 studies were included in the review. Most studies were published in Brazilian journals. The mapping of mental health nurses' interventions in Primary Health Care suggests that the most common actions are assisting the users and referring them to the medical doctor or to specialized mental health services. Conclusion: There is a wide scope of interventions within the competence of Primary Health Care nurses, but the lack of technical-scientific knowledge restricts care to the biomedical model.
