DIAS, Bárbara Jéssica de Melo Cezar et al. Mental health care and primary health care as a training field for nurses. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) []. 2020, 16, 2, pp.49-56. ISSN 1806-6976.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1806-6976.smad.2020.153900.

OBJECTIVE: to present the view of two students from the last year of an undergraduate nursing program at a federal higher-education institution concerning a primary health care service and the network care provided to individuals with mental suffering. METHOD: this is a descriptive experience report presented through a narrative, which was produced from records on field diaries. RESULTS: there is a lack of articulation between theory and practice in the network care provided to individuals with mental suffering; the need to observe the practice scenario in articulation with the reality where the service operates is considered. CONCLUSION: the students' point of view contributes to the reflection on the teaching practice in mental health as a component that permeates global health.
