Abstract(s)
A saúde mental tem vindo a assumir um papel cada vez mais importante na vida das pessoas, com parte da população tendendo a adotar comportamentos que promovam o seu bem-estar e, consequentemente, a sua saúde mental. Esta desdobra-se em muitas dimensões, sendo relevante que se consiga um estado de equilíbrio nas várias esferas da vida humana, como o bem-estar físico, social e psicológico. Ao nível dos cuidados de saúde, tem-se evidenciado a necessidade de se criarem diferentes formas de intervir junto dos doentes psiquiátricos. Dessa forma, a existência dos Hospitais de Dia veio procurar oferecer aos utentes um tipo de hospitalização parcial, que contempla atividades específicas que, com o apoio de uma equipa multidisciplinar, visam integrá-los na comunidade. Neste âmbito, considerámos relevante aprofundar o conhecimento sobre a realidade do Hospital de Dia, especificamente explorando as alterações no domínio do bem-estar, sintomatologia ansiosa e depressiva, qualidade de vida e competências do dia-a-dia ao longo de uma intervenção em Hospital de Dia. O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo compreender a direção e dinâmica das alterações percecionadas pelos utentes do Hospital de Dia de Vila Franca de Xira (HVFX), com o intuito de propor linhas orientadoras que possam contribuir para a eficácia neste tipo de abordagem. Enquadrados num contexto de pandemia por COVID-19 que provocou inúmeras mudanças no funcionamento do Hospital de Dia, bem como sucessivas alterações no projeto de investigação, viemos a considerar pertinente conhecer a visão dos profissionais de saúde acerca deste impacto, uma vez que modificou na totalidade aquilo que seria esperado na intervenção em Hospital de Dia. Participaram no estudo 4 utentes do HVFX e 3 profissionais de saúde do mesmo Hospital. Adotou-se uma metodologia mista, tendo-se prosseguido a análises descritivas, análises de diferenças e análise temática por categorias. Os resultados não evidenciaram diferenças ao longo do tempo na intervenção do HVFX e que foi sentido o impacto do COVID-19 por parte dos profissionais de saúde nos utentes e nos próprios profissionais. Não obstante as limitações do estudo, estes resultados contribuem para uma melhor compreensão da perceção dos envolvidos sobre o impacto do vírus no ambiente de Hospital de Dia, modalidade alternativa para intervenções psicológicas e psiquiátricas.
Mental health has been assuming an increasingly important role in people's lives, with part of the population tending to adopt behaviors that promote their well-being and, consequently, their mental health. This unfolds into many dimensions, and it is important to achieve a state of balance in the various spheres of human life, such as physical, social and psychological well-being. In terms of health care, the need to create different ways of intervening with psychiatric patients has been highlighted. Thus, the existence of Day Hospitals sought to offer users a type of partial hospitalization, which includes specific activities that, with the support of a multidisciplinary team, aim to integrate them into the community. In this context, we considered it relevant to deepen the knowledge about the reality of the Day Hospital, specifically exploring changes in the domain of well-being, anxious and depressive symptoms, quality of life and day-to-day skills during an intervention in a Hospital de Dia. The main objective of this study was to understand the direction and dynamics of the changes perceived by users of the Vila Franca de Xira Day Hospital (HVFX), to propose guidelines that can contribute to the effectiveness of this type of approach. Framed in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that caused numerous changes in the functioning of the Day Hospital, as well as successive changes in the research project, we came to consider it pertinent to know the view of health professionals about this impact, since it has completely changed what would be expected in the Day Hospital intervention. 4 HVFX users and 3 health professionals from the same Hospital participated in the study. A mixed methodology was adopted, with descriptive analyses, analysis of differences and thematic analysis by categories being pursued. The results did not show differences over time in the HVFX intervention and that the impact of COVID-19 was felt by health professionals on users and on professionals themselves. Despite the limitations of the study, these results contribute to a better understanding of the perception of those involved about the impact of the virus in the Day Hospital environment, an alternative modality for psychological and psychiatric interventions.
