SPADINI, Luciene Simões    SOUZA, Maria Conceição Bernardo de Mello e. The group concept according to mental health and psychiatry nurses. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) []. 2011, 7, 3, pp.133-138. ISSN 1806-6976.

This study aimed to identify, among nurses in the Mental Health network in a city in the interior of São Paulo State, their understanding about the "group" theme. A qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study was developed. Twenty-six nurses participated. The data were collected by means of individual interviews. For data analysis, thematic analysis was used. Some of the nurses define group as a therapeutic modality; others relate it with multi-professional meetings; and still others even relate the concept with group coordination. This theme lacks a better approach, both in care and teaching, with a view to the appropriate application of this resource as a source of nursing actions.
