ABSTRACT

In most Mediterranean countries, people diagnosed with severe mental disorders (SMDs) are typically cared for by the mother, causing a significant burden on people in this family role. Based on a broader mental health participatory action and qualitative research carried out in Catalonia (Spain) of 12 in-depth interviews and 3 focus groups, this article analyses the mother-caregivers' experience in the domestic space. The results show that patients and caregivers are engaged in a relationship of "nested dependencies", which create social isolation. This produces the conditions of "reactionary care", practices that limit the autonomy of those affected and that reproduce forms of disciplinary psychiatric institutions. We conclude that both institutional violence derived from economic rationality and that which stems from the gender mandate feed off each other into the domestic sphere. This research argues for placing care at the center of clinical practice and shows the need to consider the structural forces shaping it.

ABSTRACT

En este texto presentamos una aproximación al concepto de autonomía aplicado al campo de la salud mental tomando como marco la "Guía para la gestión autónoma de la medicación" (GAM) y su despliegue en Brasil y España. La estrategia GAM plantea una comprensión de la autonomía alejada de una visión individualista para aproximarse a una perspectiva social y colectiva. En este artículo vamos a evidenciar los posibles desplazamientos y las tensiones generadas, así como los efectos de autonomización que conlleva su implementación en salud mental. En la experiencia brasileña, se observa ese desplazamiento desde el lugar del saber-poder, propio de los profesionales, mientras la experiencia española muestra cómo la adaptación de la herramienta parte de la necesaria implicación de los profesionales, de los usuarios/as, sus familias y su red social en un proceso conjunto de trabajo y cuidado colectivo. (AU)


Neste texto apresentamos o conceito de autonomia aplicado ao campo da saúde mental. Para isso tomaremos como referencial uma experiência denominada "Guia para a gestão autônoma de medicamentos" (GAM) e sua implantação em dois contextos geográficos: Brasil e Espanha. A estratégia GAM propõe uma compreensão da autonomia afastando-se de uma visão individualista para se aproximar de uma perspectiva social e coletiva. Neste artigo iremos evidenciar os possíveis deslocamentos e tensões presentes, bem como os possíveis efeitos da autonomização que sua implementação produziu no contexto do cuidado em saúde mental. Assim, na experiência brasileira, observamos como esse deslocamento se produz a partir desse lugar do poder-saber, típico da experiência do profissional, enquanto a experiência espanhola mostra como a adaptação da ferramenta decorre da implicação necessária dos profissionais, usuários, familiares e rede social em um processo conjunto de trabalho e cuidado coletivo. (AU)


In this article we present the concept of autonomy applied to the field of mental health drawing on experiences of the implementation of the "Autonomous Medication Management Guide" in two different contexts: Brazil and Spain. Autonomous medication management proposes an understanding of autonomy that moves away from an individualistic view towards a social and collective perspective. This article highlights potential shifts and tensions and the possible effects of "autonomization" in the context of mental health care. In the Brazilian experience, we observed how this shift is produced from the place of power-knowledge typical of professional practice, while the Spanish experience shows how the adaptation of the tool derives from the necessary involvement of professionals, service users, families and social networks through a joint process of collective working and care.

ABSTRACT

Este artículo tiene por objetivo mostrar la utilidad didáctica de una herramienta de investiga-ción cualitativa, como es el relato autoetnográfico, en el proceso de formación y autoconoci-miento de futuros profesionales del Trabajo social. Para ello, se tomará como marco una expe-riencia docente que utiliza la autoetnografía como estrategia formativa en el aula. El análisis de dicha experiencia y de los propios relatos de los alumnos/as permitirá descubrir su valor como estrategia de autoconocimiento, así como la emergencia de algunos aprendizajes espe-cialmente relevantes surgidos del encuentro entre la reflexión personal y el aprendizaje aca-démico, como son: el saber que aporta la experiencia vivida como usuario/a del sistema de atención en salud; el que se genera a través del tránsito por los dispositivos sanitarios y sus formas de organización actual; el surgido del encuentro con la propia vulnerabilidad; y la expe-riencia corporeizada de ciertos fenómenos asociados a los procesos de sa-lud/enfermedad/atención. (AU)


The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the educational use of a qualitative research tool like autoethnographic stories in the process of training and building of self-awareness of future social work professionals. Our framework of analysis will be a teaching experiment of the au-thor in which autoethnography was used as training strategy in the classroom. Analyzing the students’ stories will allow us to discover the value of autoethnography as a strategy to raise self-awareness. Also, we show how some especially relevant learning comes out of the encoun-ter of personal reflection and academic training, namely: the knowledge stemmingfrom one’s own experience as a user of the health care system; the one from a person’s passing through healthcare institutions and the way they are presently organized; the one that emerging from the coming face to face with one’s own vulnerability; and the corporealized experience of cer-tain phenomena associated with health/disease/care processes.

ABSTRACT

Antipsychotic medication is the primary treatment for psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders; nevertheless, its administration is not free from conflicts. Despite taking their medication regularly, 25-50% of patients report no benefits or perceive this type of treatment as an imposition. Following in the footsteps of a previous initiative in Quebec (Canada), the Gestion Autonome de la Médication en Santé Mentale (GAM), this article ethnographically analyses the main obstacles to the collaborative management of antipsychotics in Catalonia (Spain) as a previous step for the implementation of this initiative in the Catalan mental healthcare network. We conducted in-depth interviews with patients (38), family caregivers (18) and mental health professionals (19), as well as ten focus groups, in two public mental health services, and patients' and caregivers' associations. Data were collected between February and December 2018. We detected three main obstacles to collaboration among participants. First, different understanding of the patient's distress, either as deriving from the symptoms of the disorder (professionals) or the adverse effects of the medication (patients). Second, differences in the definition of (un)awareness of the disorder. Whereas professionals associated disorder awareness with treatment compliance, caregivers understood it as synonymous with self-care, and among patients "awareness of suffering" emerged as a comprehensive category of a set of discomforts (i.e., symptoms, adverse effects of medication, previous admissions, stigma). Third, discordant expectations regarding clinical communication that can be condensed in the differences in meaning between the Spanish words "trato" and "tratamiento", where the first denotes having a pleasant manner and agreement, and the second handling and management. We conclude that these three obstacles pave the way for coercive practices and promote patients' de-subjectivation, named here as the "total patient" effect. This study is the first GAM initiative in Europe.

ABSTRACT

El sufrimiento mental grave está asociado con una dolorosa experiencia de desconexión con el mundo social que acrecienta todavía más la aflicción y la adversidad de las personas afectadas. En un contexto clínico Post-Reforma, marcado por la hegemonía de la respuesta farmacológica, las narrativas de aflicción de los sujetos quedan a menudo invisibilizadas, al mismo tiempo que se fragilizan los posibles espacios de comunicación, de sociabilidad y de construcción colectiva del cuidado. A partir del trabajo de campo desarrollado en el proyecto "La Gestión Colaborativa de la Medicación" en Cataluña (2017-2020), en este artículo se propone el rescate de las narrativas de padecimiento, cuidado y atención con el propósito de habilitar el horizonte de una cultura del cuidado basada en el diálogo.


O sofrimento mental grave está associado a uma dolorosa experiência de desconexão com o mundo social, o que aumenta o sofrimento e as adversidades vividas pelas pessoas afetadas. Num contexto clinico Pós-reforma, marcado pela hegemonia da resposta farmacológica, as narrativas de sofrimento dos sujeitos ficam muitas vezes invisibilizadas, ao mesmo tempo em que são fragilizados os possíveis espaços de comunicação, de sociabilidade e de construção coletiva do cuidado. A partir do trabalho de campo desenvolvido no projeto "A Gestão Colaborativa da Medicação" na Catalunha (2017-2020), neste artigo se propõe o resgate das narrativas de padecimento, cuidado e atenção com o propósito de criar um horizonte de cultura de cuidado baseado no diálogo.


Severe mental distress is associated with a painful experience of disconnection with the social world that further increases affliction and adversity among those affected. In a Post-Reform clinical context, marked by the hegemony of the pharmacological response, the narratives of suffering are often invisible, while the possible spaces of communication, sociability and collective construction are fragile. Based on the fieldwork developed in the project "Collaborative Management of Medication" in Catalonia (2017-2020), this article proposes the rescue of the narratives of suffering, care, and attention to enable the horizon of a dialogic culture of care.

ABSTRACT

La cuestión migratoria es un fenómeno cada vez más relevante en un mundo globalizado donde diariamente se producen desplazamientos e intercambios de personas y mercancías. Sin embargo, esta libertad de movimientos no se aplica para todas las personas igual. Mientras los estados reducen las restricciones para los desplazamientos turísticos y el comercio mundial, los migrantes del Sur global encuentran cada vez más impedimentos legales para desplazarse a los países económicamente más desarrollados y poder iniciar allí sus proyectos de vida al encontrarse em una situación administrativa irregular. En este contexto, la venta ambulante irregular constituye na alternativa para obtener unos ingresos y acceder posteriormente a un trabajo cualificado. Sin embargo, la condición de alegalidad de la actividad y de los migrantes que la desarrollan, genera una situación de vulnerabilidad entre aquellos que la practican. En este articulo, a través de una entrevista con un representante del Sindicato Popular de Vendedores Ambulantes Top Manta de Barcelona, conoceremos algunas de las estrategias colectivas de respuesta que han ideado los vendedores ambulantes irregulares para defender su derecho a trabajar y acceder a la condición de ciudadanía que les es negada.


A questão da migração é um fenômeno cada vez mais relevante em um mundo globalizado, onde diariamente ocorrem deslocamentos e intercâmbio de pessoas e bens diariamente. No entanto, essa liberdade de movimento não se aplica a todas as pessoas igualmente. Embora os estados reduzam as restrições aos deslocamentos turísticos e ao comércio mundial, os migrantes do Sul global encontram a cada vez mais impedimentos legais para deslocar- se a países economicamente mais desenvolvidos e iniciar seus projetos de vida lá por encontrarem ­ se em uma situação administrativa irregular. Nesse contexto, a venda como ambulante de forma irregular constitui uma alternativa para obter renda e acessar posteriormente trabalhos qualificados. Todavia, a condição de irregularidade da atividade e dos migrantes que a desenvolvem produz uma situação de vulnerabilidade entre os que a praticam. Neste artigo, através de uma entrevista com um representante do Sindicato Popular de Vendedores Ambulantes Top Manta de Barcelona, busca ­ se conhecer algumas das estratégias de resposta coletiva que os vendedores ambulantes irregulares planejaram para defender seu direito ao trabalho e acessar a condição de cidadania negada.


The migration issue is an increasingly relevant phenomenon in a globalized world where displacement and exchanges of people and goods occur daily. However, this freedom of movement does not apply to all people equally. While states reduce restrictions on tourist displacements and world trade, migrants from the Global South are facing impediments to move through more economically developed countries and to start their life projects there because of their irregular administrative situation. In that context, street vending becomes an alternative to get an income and get qualified work. However, the unregulated condition of the activity creates a situation of vulnerability among the migrants who practice it. In this article, we conduct an interview with a representative of the Union of Top Manta Street Vendors of Barcelona in order to know some of the collective response strategies that irregular street vendors have devised to defend their right to work and access to citizenship.

ABSTRACT

La Guia de Gestão Autônoma da Medicação (Guía GAM) es una experiencia de investigación de carácter cualitativo llevada a cabo conjuntamente por usuarios y profesionales del ámbito de la salud mental e investigadores universitarios. Desarrollada originariamente en Québec (Canadá), el artículo se centra en la experiencia de adaptación e implementación de la guía al contexto brasileño. La Guía GAM aborda la cuestión de la medicación antipsicótica y la posible gestión compartida del tratamiento por parte de los actores implicados. La metodología utilizada por la GAM propicia abrir un espacio de diálogo en relación al tratamiento farmacológico configurándose como una herramienta que permite alterar las relaciones de poder existentes en el ámbito de la atención a la salud mental, facilitando la participación y la implicación efectiva de los afectados en la toma de decisiones en relación con su proceso de atención. El artículo aborda asimismo el proceso de trasformación seguido por dicha experiencia desde sus inicios como investigación académica hasta su implementación en los servicios de atención a la salud mental del Estado de Rio Grande do Sul como herramienta de trabajo, incluyendo los desafíos y oportunidades que ello supuso (AU)


The Guide for Autonomous Management of Medication (Guide GAM) is an experience of qualitative research carried out jointly by university researchers, users and professionals in the field of mental health. Originally developed in Québec (Canada), this article focuses on the experience of adapting and implementing the guide in the Brazilian context. The GAM Guide addresses the issue of antipsychotic medication and the shared management of treatment among involved agents. The methodology used by the GAM not only facilitates an open space for dialogue in relation to pharmacological treatment, but it also stands as a tool to alter power relations in the field of mental health care, facilitating effective participation and involvement of service users in making decisions about their care process. The article also addresses the transformation process of this experience from its beginnings as an academic research work to the effective practical implementation in the mental health services of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities originated in this process (AU)

ABSTRACT

En los últimos años han comenzado a surgir algunas iniciativas dentro del ámbito del tratamiento y rehabilitación psicosocial de las personas con trastorno mental, orientadas a recoger la voz de los propios implicados, concederles un mayor protagonismo y emplear sus argumentos de forma práctica en la definición de su tratamiento. Dentro de estas nuevas prácticas se podría enmarcar la experiencia del "Grup de Pensadors". Esta iniciativa parte de un grupo de profesionales de la "Fundació Congres Català de Salut Mental" y aglutina a profesionales, familiares y personas en tratamiento de salud mental en un mismo espacio dedicado al debate. Se trata de un lugar de intercambio de experiencias a la vez que generación de ideas. Su objetivo no es terapéutico en sí mismo pero si está orientado a la búsqueda y elaboración de propuestas que mejoren la atención y tratamiento de las personas que sufren una enfermedad mental. La experiencia del grupo pretende facilitar un espacio dónde los participantes puedan situarse en un plano horizontal, siendo considerados como expertos desde su propia vivencia y experiencia personal. El grupo se constituye además como plataforma de investigación con un carácter eminentemente cualitativo. La aplicación del método etnográfico dentro del grupo posibilita la observación de estas relaciones y la dificultad de su (re)elaboración fuera del ámbito clínico. Asimismo plantea un ejercicio de recuperación de las narrativas de los principales protagonistas implicados en el tratamiento en salud mental, los discursos utilizados y el análisis de los mismos (AU)


In recent years new initiatives have begun to emerge within the scope of treatment and psychosocial rehabilitation of people with mental diseases, aimed to collect the voice of the people involved, giving them a greater role and use their arguments in a practical way to define their treatment. The experience of "Grup de Pensadors" (Thinkers’ Group) could be framed within these new practices. This initiative is part of a group of professionals from the CCSM Foundation and puts together professionals, family and people in mental health treatment in one space devoted to discussion. This is a place to exchange experiences while generating ideas. Their goal is not therapeutic in itself but is aimed at finding and developing proposals to improve the care of persons suffering from mental illness. The group experience aims to provide a space where the discourse of all participants can be interpreted on a horizontal plane, being considered as experts from their own lives and personal experience. The group is also a research platform with a highly qualitative character. The application of ethnographic methods within the group enables the observation of these relationships and the difficulty of (re) development outside the clinical setting. It also presents a narrative recovery exercise of the main characters involved in the mental health treatment, the discourses used and the analysis thereof (AU)
