Importancia del plan de vida dentro del proceso de reinserción comunitaria de personas en proceso de desinstitucionalización en instituciones de atención en salud mental

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to highlight the importance of implementing a Life Plan, within the process of community reintegration, for those who are in a situation of deinstitutionalization, within a mental Health care institution, taking into account the changes that our country has had in terms of regulation and Mental Health policies, as well as the changes in its care model, towards a community model of it. Within the process of construction of this work, two moments were carried out; the first was the existing theoretical compilation around three dimensions: Life Plan or Project, Reinsertion and Deinstitutionalization, in relation to people with mental illnesses. The second moment, the data collected was analyzed through a systematic review, looking for trends and significant relationships among them, in this way they will be considered as alternatives within future research. The results of this research are: a) There is a clear importance of using the life plan as a tool for setting and achieving objectives, both in the rehabilitation and reintegration processes of those suffering from mental suffering. b) Community reintegration processes will be a product of the deinstitutionalization of both mental health care institutions and the users themselves. c) Reintegration should also be considered as a right established by organizations such as PAHO and WHO for those with disabilities and/or suffering from mental suffering. It is therefore necessary to create policies that promote these actions.
