NURSING CARE FOR MENTAL HEALTH IN THE FAMILY HEALTH STRATEGY
Introduction: The potential of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the context of mental health is noteworthy, and the results of the care provided by the nursing team are highlighted, especially the nurse, who directs decision-making and forms of health planning, actions and interventions. Objective: The objective of this study is to describe, through the literature, the actions of nursing in the family health strategy, emphasizing the importance of these actions for mental health. Materials and Methods: This is a literature review carried out using virtual databases such as the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) and the Virtual Health Library (BVS). The data collection included articles published between 2014 and 2024, which were then analyzed and interpreted in the light of the literature. Results and Discussion: The ESF was consolidated in 2000 as a model in Brazil of primary health care actions for the population, through guidelines for the whole community. Nursing professionals have played an important role in consolidating the care practices offered by the Family Health Strategy, both individually and collectively. The Mental Health Policy emerged from the Anti-Asylum Movement, which led to a transformation in the model of care for people with mental illness, which until then had been carried out through hospitalizations and the use of medication. The link between mental health practices and the Family Health Strategy is the essence of care, which strengthens health actions and services. Final considerations: The challenge of reorganizing the care offered to mental health patients persists, as well as the materiality of teamwork, the creation of spaces that enable discussions, planning and agreements in the daily routine of the ESF, which favor the strengthening of mental health care.
