Open-access Labyrinths of nursing training and the Brazilian National Mental Health Policy

Laberintos de la formación en enfermería y la Política Nacional de Salud Mental Brasileña

ABSTRACT

Objective:   to analyze the training of nurses from public and private educational institutions of the city of São Paulo from the perspective of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform.

Methods:   a qualitative, descriptive-exploratory research, using as methodological framework documentary analysis of the pedagogical projects of the participating institutions and content analysis of the interviews carried out with mental health professors.

Results:   it was identified that most mental health courses had insufficient workload for adequate training; theory emphasized the study of mental disorders and drug treatment; practice, in some schools, was carried out in psychiatric hospitals. There were problems that interfered with the quality of the education offered.

Final considerations:   educational institutions still did not offer training in undergraduate nursing from the perspective of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform.
