Fornereto APN, Sousa DF, Martini LC. Permanent Education in Healthcare as a strategy for promoting collaborative practice in the Psychosocial Care Network. Interface (Botucatu). 2023; 27:e220221. Doi: https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.220221
Abstract
This qualitative study aimed to understand the provision of mental health care in family health support centers (NASF-AB) and psychosocial care centers (CAPS) after their incorporation into the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS). Permanent Education in Healthcare (EPS) was used as the core strategy for the group intervention to capture the difficulties and virtues of the network-based care process. By providing mental health professionals an opportunity for dialogue, it was possible to characterize the workers of the services involved in the action and analyze the following categories: (1) Coordinated mental health care strategies; (2) Challenges in promoting coordinated mental health care; and (3) The pandemic and the RAPS. The strategy helped strengthen the RAPS, enhance coordination between facilities, and improve mental health care in the region.
