Description
Summary:This study aims to identify the care provided by nurses of the Family Health Strategy facing the mental health needs and to assess whether they were based on the notions of completeness, host / link and listening to the subject. It is a descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach made with ten nurses from Cajazeiras — PB. Information was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by thematic analysis. It was found that the views of the mental health illness were based in the biological model, and there was no communicability between mental health and primary care network. This compromises the effectiveness of a practice based on the notion of completeness, host / link and listening to the subject. It is urgent the need for implementation of municipal public policies that promote coordination between mental health and primary care, outreach and continuing education of nursing professionals.
