Violence against children/adolescents in psychic suffering and nursing care: reflections of social phenomenology. / Violência contra crianças/adolescentes em sofrimento psíquico e cuidado de enfermagem: reflexões da fenomenologia social.

Objective To reflect on violence against children and adolescents in psychic suffering, and nursing care based on social phenomenology. Method Theoretical study based on the conceptions of Alfred Schütz. Results The subject in psychic suffering shows conflicts in family relationships, and is often immersed in a biographical situation that removes their autonomy, contributing violence itself. Violence is a social phenomenon expressed through power relations in the everyday world and, through group relationships, resulting in suffering for the victims. Conclusions Studies performed by Schütz enable a new look for the nursing care/health professionals who deal with this problem by allowing them to know the biographical situation, and have full stock of knowledge about their patients, their motivations and the meanings these patients attribute to their experiences. This enables the overcoming of the biomedical model and leads to valuing interpersonal relations from the perspective of a culture of peace.

Existing as a being-with-heart-disease-who-developed-pressure-wounds: an understanding based on Martin Heidegger.

OBJECTIVE: To understand, using Martin Heidegger's phenomenological framework, the Being who experiences a heart disease and develops a pressure injury. METHOD: Qualitative, phenomenological study using Martin Heidegger's theoretical-philosophical-methodological framework. Nine participants were interviewed at their residences, from October to December 2015, Ceará. RESULTS: Six meaning units were revealed: experiencing difficulties; dealing with the treatment of pressure wounds; not knowing the cardiac disease; being supported by family and friends; experiencing changes caused by disease; and maintaining faith in God. These Daily life was apprehended in an inauthentic life, chatter, curiosity, and ambivalence. Imprisoned to the vigor of having been, they live in anguish, supported by the faith in God and being-with-others in a movement of attentiveness. CONCLUSION: The phenomenon interferes with patients and families' daily lives rendering them vulnerable. There is a need for nursing to reflect on this experience and incorporate care that reaches human existence.

Reflections based on the Tidal Model about the concept of psychosis.

OBJECTIVE: To reflect on the concept of psychosis using the Tidal Model framework. METHOD: Reflective study developed from the bookEl modelo Tidal: salud mental, reivindicación y recuperación by Phil Barker and Poppy Buchanan-Barker and other texts. RESULTS: The reflection was organized into three axes of discussion: "The Tidal Model", "The metaphor, psychosis and the domain of the self" and "The Tidal Model, nonlinearity and psychosis: synergisms with the Brazilian mental health policy". FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Tidal Model encompasses the concept of psychosis, in addition to being synergistic with aspects of psychiatric reform and mental health policies in Brazil. The limitations of the study are the fact that it only presents initial and general approximations about the relationship between the concept of psychosis and the Tidal Model, and it is necessary to deepen this knowledge in the specific context of care practice.

[The family in mental health: support for clinical nursing care]. / A família em saúde mental: subsídios para o cuidado clínico de enfermagem.

This is a theoretical reflection on the clinical nursing care in mental health that is offered to the family. In view of having a family member with mental suffering, the family would delegate the care to that relative to the mental institution, thus there should be collaboration between the nursing and medical team to organize the environment and ensure family and social isolation. With the Psychiatric Reform, based on the proposal for psychosocial care, the family becomes the center of attention for health care professionals. The necessary support for clinical nursing care includes making conceptual changes in implementing health education, interdisciplinary work, and in the broadened clinic, so as to ensure comprehensiveness and subjects' autonomy. Clinical nursing care should permeate the subjects' politicalization, in which the actors militate to reach autonomy, and the practices involve dignity, creativity, welcoming, interdisciplinarity, hearing, and knowledge sharing.

The production of care in psychosocial care services: home visits as an intervention technology to be used in the territory. / Produção do cuidado na atenção psicossocial: visita domiciliar como tecnologia de intervenção no território.

Home visits are a technology used in mental health services to address individuals with mental distress and their families. The intent is to analyze different types of knowledge and professional practices related to home visits, grounded on the analytical framework provided by the Psychiatric Reform's dimensions, namely: theoretical-conceptual, technical assistance, legal-political, and sociocultural. This case study with a qualitative approach was conducted in a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) located in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Observation and semi-structured interviews were held with workers and later analyzed from a critical hermeneutic perspective. The results show the territory covered by the service is acknowledged as a social space in which individuals are allowed to express their experience/suffering and a place where care is produced. Home visits require the reorganization of work processes and the development of deinstitutionalization strategies, which in turn promote the patients' autonomy and contractual power. There are, however, challenges to be overcome, such as insufficient human resources and a lack of material resources. Additionally, workers have to deal with urban violence and impediments to cultural change in the way society deals with mental illness. Home visits are essential within CAPS as a strategy to dismantle the traditional asylum apparatus.

A visita domiciliar na atenção à saúde mental constitui tecnologia de abordagem ao sujeito em sofrimento psíquico e à sua família. Pretende-se analisar os saberes e as práticas dos profissionais relacionadas à visita domiciliar, tomando como referencial analítico as dimensões da Reforma Psiquiátrica: teórico-conceitual, tecnoassistencial, jurídico-política e sociocultural. Trata-se de um estudo de caso com abordagem qualitativa, realizado num Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) de Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais, além de observação livre, analisadas com base na hermenêutica crítica. Os resultados apontam o reconhecimento do território como espaço social da experiência-sofrimento e de produção do cuidado. A visita domiciliar induz a reorganização do processo de trabalho e o desenvolvimento de estratégias de desinstitucionalização, que potencializam a construção de autonomia e de poder contratual do usuário. Contudo, enfrenta desafios relacionados ao serviço, como equipe mínima e ausência de veículo. Além destes, o risco de violência no território e dificuldades no agir para a mudança cultural nos modos de lidar com a loucura. A visita domiciliar é imprescindível no CAPS, como estratégia de ruptura com o aparato manicomial.

Use of a therapeutic communication application in the Nursing undergraduate program: randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the effect on the knowledge of therapeutic communication by Nursing students through the use of applications. METHOD: a randomized and controlled clinical trial conducted with 60 nursing students. In the topic Groups and therapeutic communication techniques, the intervention-IG group (n=30) used the application and the control-CG group (n=30) was submitted to the traditional class. The pre- (Zero Test -0) and post-test knowledge (immediate-Test 1 and after 30 day-Test 2) of those involved were evaluated. RESULTS: Test 1, performed immediately after the intervention, showed a mean of 11 hits in the control group and 13 in the intervention, with statistical significance (p=0.036). Test 2 showed a decrease in hits in both groups (IG=10.87 and CG=9.3), but maintained the difference between IG and CG in the post-test (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: the use of the application on therapeutic communication favored the knowledge of the students, when compared to the traditional teaching method. REBEC RBR-4TF6MR Registration.

Low Chronic Self-Esteem and Low Situational Self-Esteem: a literature review.

OBJECTIVE: to develop a literature review about low self-esteem and components of the nursing diagnoses Low Chronic Self-Esteem and Low Situational Self-Esteem in patients with depressed mood. METHOD: an integrative literature review carried out in the Pubmed portal and in the Scopus and Web of Science electronic bibliographic databases. Depression and self-esteem descriptors were used, resulting in 32 articles. RESULTS: literature indicated 7 clinical indicators and 14 etiological factors for low self-esteem. CONCLUSION: The clinical indicators Suicidal ideation and Ineffective treatment were more prevalent in the study. The etiological factors Stressful events and Stigmatization were the most frequent, both of which were suggested as new related factors for low self-esteem. Nursing diagnosis recognition can contribute to intervention strategy elaboration by the nurse, according to the urgent diagnostic and the individual's particularities.

Nursing care in mental health based on the TIDAL MODEL: an integrative review.

RESULTS: the articles are in English (91.7%), were published in nursing journals (87.5%), are reflective and/or theoretical (50%) and have level of evidence VII (79.2%). The model brings contributions to nursing science, enabling person-centered care, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary work, nurses' protagonism and the empowerment of subjects in mental suffering. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the use of the Tidal Model enables changes in nurses practice working in the context of mental health. Its application by nurses who work in mental health services in Brazil is recommended.

Reasons of drug use among adolescents: implications for clinical nursing care.

This is a theoretical essay which aims to reflect on the reasons for and why adolescents use drugs and their implications for clinical nursing care. It used the referential of social phenomenology of Alfred Schutz. The main reasons identified were: to attenuate existential crisis, form social bonds and to have fun. The reasons for this are related to the characteristics of adolescence, a breakdown in social and family ties and the conditions of programmatic vulnerability. Motivations provide important information for developing person-centered, not drug-abuse-centered care strategies. Nurses' caregiving action is based on emancipatory health education strategies grounded on the strategy of reducing harm and risks related to drug use and the possibility to help adolescents become aware of their biographical situation in a face-to-face relationship, so that they can (in knowing yourself) act to promote their health.

Consumption of alcohol and drugs and school absenteeism among high school students of public schools.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relation between the consumption of alcohol and other drugs and school absenteeism in high school students of public schools in the 30 days prior to data collection. METHOD: Cross-sectional study of quantitative character conducted from May to September 2017, with 282 high school students of public schools of Mossoró-RN. We used a closed questionnaire with questions about drug consumption as our instrument of analysis. We performed hierarchical binary logistic regression by using the SPSS 20.0. RESULTS: In bivariate analysis, the relation between absenteeism and drug consumption patterns proved to be significant to those who engage in heavy episodic drinking of alcohol and in the use of tobacco, inhalants and marijuana. The adjusted regression model only included the variables tobacco and heavy episodic drinking of alcohol. CONCLUSION: The hierarchical binary logistic regression analysis corroborated with absenteeism outcomes, explaining it in 12.3% of cases.
