Abstract

SPADINI, Luciene Simões  and  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.) [online]. 2011, vol.7, n.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.

Keywords : Nursing; Mental Health; Psychiatric Nursing.
