Estratégias de promoção à saúde mental de adolescentes em países daamérica latina: uma revisão integrativa
Abstract
Health Promotion (HP) is proposed as a health strategy that enhances the condition of
citizens, health as a right, capable of producing better living conditions, more effective
services, and comprehensive actions from intersectionality and popular participation. When
related to Latin America (LA), we see a concept introduced more recently, referring to
reflections and criticisms about the concepts that came with colonization and encouraging
questioning possibilities that are more compatible with a political context marked by
vulnerabilities of different orders. The recent strengthening of the concept of PS in the world
and the even more recent, but when it comes to mental health in children and youth, their
contemporaneity and conceptualization are still incipient. Thus, the study aimed to identify
and analyze literary productions that deal with strategies to promote adolescents' mental
health in LA through an integrative review of the literature. The databases consulted were
Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scopus e Web of Science, from September 2019 to April
2020. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, resulting in the selection of six
studies. Seven distinct thematic axes were identified: Difficulty in intersectoral partnerships,
The potency of group actions with adolescents, Importance and need to invest in vocational
training, Difficulty in implementing strategies due to social vulnerability, Rigidity and
operational difficulties that limit actions, The difficulty of professionals in dealing with and
managing with adolescents, Care actions are rare or nonexistent in Primary Health Care. As a
result, it was identified that the school's central space actions are developed. In addition, as
potential measures were identified, the training of professionals, group action, and
strengthening of primary and territorial care. The results of the present study identify a gap in
the literature regarding the HP production of adolescents in LA. Furthermore, there was an
absence of dialogue between the different actors and, especially, with adolescents for
proposals that consider local demands and strategies, in accordance with what has been
produced worldwide in the field of HP.
