Saúde mental de crianças e seus cuidadores diante da pandemia da COVID-19: um relato de experiência a partir de vivências de uma equipe de residência multiprofissional em um CER II

Abstract

This article seeks to contextualize experiences lived with the pandemic of COVID-19, by a multidisciplinary team of residents in Child and Adolescent Mental Health, in a Specialized Rehabilitation Center in the Federal District (CER II). It aims to identify the impacts suffered on mental health due to social isolation by COVID-19 in the families served (children and their caregivers) and to explore the contributions of the multiprofessional residency in facing this scenario. The theoretical framework used was based on the principles of SUS, the National Mental Health Policy and the ECA. The interventions described were carried out in a Specialized Rehabilitation Center in Taguatinga / Distrito Federal, with 45 patients and family members assisted in the Early Stimulation Program by the pediatric team. The interventions were carried out through telephone calls consented by the caregivers and guardians and had as main objective the family orientation and monitoring of the child's condition and the family context. Finally, it is concluded that, despite adverse circumstances, the service offered to children and their caregivers has been relevant to the preservation of mental health and continuity of treatment, in addition to being a challenge and also a learning experience for the multiprofessional team.
