COVID-19: A STUDY OF THE STRATEGIES OF THE MULTIPROFESSIONAL TEAM FOR PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION IN A PSYCHOSOCIAL CARE CENTER

Abstract

This research investigated the adaptation strategies of the multiprofessional team of the Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS II) for psychosocial rehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a qualitative approach and the dialectical critical method, a literature review and semi-structured interviews were conducted. The data were analyzed using the methodology of Bardin (1977), processed in the IRAMUTEQ software, and categorized for interpretation. The results showed that the CAPS team implemented strategies focused on psychosocial rehabilitation, highlighting the importance of innovative and adaptable practices in critical moments and in the continuous routine. The research highlighted the need for robust public policies that support these practices with adequate resources, continuous training, and an institutional environment that promotes creativity and flexibility. Incorporating reinvention into the daily practices of the CAPS, supported by public policies, can avoid setbacks and promote advances in mental health care, benefiting professionals and users. The research underlines the importance of these strategies and the need to discuss mental health and public policies aimed at the citizenship of people with mental health problems.
