This study investigates the importance of public policies in mitigating mental illness among civil servants, focusing on the implementation phase of the Public Policy Cycle. The research uses a systematic and quantitative approach, analyzing five articles that address different aspects of the topic.

As for the effectiveness of strategies (60%) and the allocation of resources (60%), there is a modest evaluation, suggesting the importance of a more detailed analysis. The active involvement of civil servants in implementation has an average of 60%, indicating moderate consideration. These results highlight the complexity and importance of effective public policies for civil servants' mental health. The discussion between the authors highlights the need to improve the analysis of specific challenges and identify more effective strategies. In conclusion, the results provide valuable input for the development of more effective public policies to promote the mental health of civil servants.
