Esta dissertação consiste na descrição dessa estratégia, que vai contribuir para reduzir a carga de perturbações mentais nesta comunidade e, desse modo, melhorar a qualidade de vida geral da comunidade. Métodos: O NISCVT nomeou a autora da tese para facilitar o processo de desenvolvimento da estratégia de saúde mental de acordo com as recomendações da OMS para o desenvolvimento de políticas e serviços. O desenvolvimento da estratégia baseia-se em entrevistas realizadas pela autora com pessoas-chave no NISCVT e desdobra-se em cinco etapas: Consultas com as partes interessadas; Análise da situação do programa atual; Elaboração dos elementos políticos: visão, missão, objetivos, valores e princípios orientadores; Desenvolvimento de um primeiro rascunho da estratégia; Revisões por especialistas. Resultados: Uma estratégia de saúde mental para o NISCVT foi desenvolvida após um processo de consulta. São identificados cinco domínios de ação: (1) Liderança e Governança, (2) Reorientação e Ampliação de Serviços, (3) Prevenção e Promoção, (4) Informações, Evidências e Pesquisa e (5) Grupos Vulneráveis. Cada domínio compreende um objetivo geral, objetivos estratégicos e metas para a consecução dos objetivos. Conclusões: Esta dissertação descreve uma colaboração bem sucedida entre os principais interessados no programa de saúde mental do NISCVT, que resultou no desenvolvimento de uma política estratégica. Recomenda-se concluir o processo de desenvolvimento da estratégia nestes cinco passos: (1) elaboração de um segundo rascunho na sequência da avaliação dos peritos, (2) elaboração de um consenso entre todas as partes interessadas, (3) elaboração de rascunho final e (4) lançamento online. Além disso, (5) precisa ser desenvolvido um plano de implementação para estabelecer um roteiro para a entrega dos compromissos e recomendações da estratégia de saúde mental.Cardoso, GraçaRUNNajm, Nancy2017-12-11T12:30:09Z2017-11-242017-11-24T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/26595TID:201776936enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:13:58Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/26595Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:28:30.570097Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
