“Análisis situacional y descriptivo del proceso de desinstitucionalización de 38 pacientes del año 2012 a la actualidad por parte del equipo multidisciplinario del hospital psiquiátrico Julio Endara”

Abstract

The present research consists of describing how the deinstitutionalization process of 38 patients was carried out by the multidisciplinary team of the Julio Endara Psychiatric Hospital since 2012, taking into account the legal framework that allows the development of the social reintegration guide which details specifically the stages, phases and activities that the user must overcome to reach the final discharge. Likewise, the fundamental role that each member of the multidisciplinary team fulfills to train the patient and in turn psychoeducate and sensitize the family in the management of relapses, enabling contact with a network of community mental health services, sensitized and willing to ensure the sustaining the process. We will proceed to describe the obstacles implied by having only theoretical models created in 2014 that remain in force to date, given that there is no adequate hiring of trained human resources due to lack of budget, which, in turn, prevents us from giving way to the creation of community devices such as CAPS and residential units necessary to achieve deinstitutionalization. In addition, it will be possible to show how the country has focused with greater care in providing spaces that provide rehabilitation to people with problematic consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, as well as the absence of political interest in promoting mental health policies that benefit this minority group. These data will be supported by mental health professionals who have developed their careers in the public sphere and who were interviewed to complement this research.
