O DESAFIO DOS LEITOS EM SAÚDE MENTAL NOS HOSPITAIS GERAIS: CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA EXPERIÊNCIA DE JUNDIAÍ/SP

Abstract

This research took place at the São Vicente de Paulo Charity Hospital (HCSV) located in the city of Jundiaí, São Paulo State, Brazil, between 2015 and 2016. From April 2015 to November 2016, the hospital was the stage for the implementation of a new ward for the hospitalization of people with mental disorders in crisis. The proposal was that people with acute mental health conditions could be hospitalized in their own city and in a general hospital, since the existing psychiatric hospitals in Brazil were considered to be of limited effectiveness and high risks of human rights violations. This process was analyzed using the theoretical reference of institutional analysis. ABSTRACT
