Saúde Mental e Racismo Contra Negros: Produção Bibliográfica Brasileira dos Últimos Quinze Anos / Mental Health and Racism against Blacks: Brazilian Publications within the Last Fifteen Years / Salud Mental y Racismo Contra Negros: Producción Bibliográfica Brasileña de los Últimos Quince Años

RESUMO

Opressão, agressão e violência são práticas que afetam a saúde mental da pessoa alvo. O racismo, como crença na superioridade de algumas raças sobre outras, que justifica a desigualdade entre os grupos, é uma forma de opressão, de agressão e de violência. O objetivo geral desta revisão sistemática foi encontrar na literatura científica brasileira estudos sobre o impacto do racismo na saúde mental de negros no Brasil; o objetivo específico foi verificar a contribuição da Psicologia nesse tópico. Foram realizadas buscas nas plataformas SciELO e Lilacs, referentes ao período de 1999 a 2014, as quais retornaram 509 artigos, que foram filtrados segundo critérios definidos. Dezenove artigos foram considerados relevantes para análise, mesmo que não tratando exclusivamente do impacto do racismo na saúde mental. Concluiu-se que o tema tem baixa produção acadêmica no Brasil de modo geral, pouca contribuição da Psicologia e menos ainda das demais disciplinas afetas aos CAPS (Centros de Assistência Psicossocial), espaços de assistência pública à saúde mental, buscados majoritariamente pela população negra de baixa renda, dependente dos serviços de saúde pública....(AU)

Oppression, aggression and violence are practices that affect the mental health of the target person. Racism, the belief that some races are superior to others, which justifies inequalities among groups, is a form of oppression, aggression and violence. The general objective of this systematic review was to find in the Brazilian scientific literature studies on the impact of racism on mental health of the black population in Brazil; the secondary objective was to verify the contributions of psychology to this topic. Searches, carried out in SciELO and Lilacs platforms, returned 509 articles, that were filtered according to criteria of interest. Nineteen articles were considered relevant for analysis, even if they did not deal exclusively with the impact of racism on mental health. It was found that this subject has low academic production in Brazil, low contribution from Psychology and even less, or none, from other disciplines related to the CAPS (Psychosocial Assistance Centers), public agencies for mental health care requested mainly by low income black population dependent on public health services....(AU)
