SILVEIRA, Carlos Bruno; COSTA, Lourdes Suelen Pontes  and  JORGE, Maria Salete Bessa. Health Care Networks as producers of mental health care: A reflective analysis. Revista Portuguesa de Enfermagem de Saúde Mental [online]. 2018, n.19, pp.61-70. ISSN 1647-2160.  https://doi.org/10.19131/rpesm.0203.

The objective was to analyze the Brazilian scientific production about health care networks for mental health care. This is a bibliographical study with a reflexive approach on the theme of integral care in the RAS in the period from 2012 to 2016. A survey was carried out in the Scielo electronic library, using the following keywords: Health Care Networks; Primary Health Care and Mental Health Care, being found 51 articles, which, after reading the titles and abstracts, resulted in 24 articles to be analyzed. It is mapped quantitatively the scientific literature published about the RAS and the meanings have been identified and senses that constitute the selected production. For this purpose, the Thematic Categorical Analysis was used, addressing care networks with a focus on completeness, as well as the process of care, reflections, obstacles and strategies, as well as the training of health professionals with a focus on their contributions and challenges. The interconnected and recommended relationships in health networks have not yet been consolidated in their entirety, which has made it difficult to achieve comprehensive health care, especially when it refers to the mental health network.

Keywords : Health care; Primary health care; Mental health.
