RESUMO

Introduction: The intricate nature of certain diseases necessitates complex medication regimens, utilization including high-cost medications, and continual vigilance to avoid potential complications. To address these exigencies, numerous healthcare institutions have instituted multidisciplinary management teams, exemplified in pharmaceutical care through Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) programs. These programs oversee diverse facets such as patient education, medication adherence promotion, clinical monitoring, dose adjustments, and scrutiny of prescribed drug therapies. Given the emphasized significance, it is relevant to possess evidence to continue endorsing these initiatives from management positions within health centers, and it is for this reason that this study aims to evaluate the clinical and economic benefits provided by a CMM program within a private hospital in Latin America, by analyzing the effects of clinical interventions. Methods: A retrospective examination was conducted involving documented pharmaceutical interventions in an outpatient setting from January 2019 to September 2022. To assess the interventions' repercussions, a retrospective analysis was undertaken. The collated data included patients' basic characteristics, a comprehensive pharmacist-generated description of interventions, potential associated complications, and avoided medical services. Multiple clinical projections, which were endorsed by internal medicine physicians, were developed to explore potential scenarios in the absence of pharmaceutical care. These projections were associated with conceivable complications, aligned with the most plausible circumstances. Subsequently, utilizing the average cost of healthcare within a private hospital in Latin America, the cumulative savings were quantified. These savings were then attributed to the intrinsic advantages offered by pharmaceutical care. Results: The study discloses demographic trends among patients within distinct age groups in the CMM program. Rheumatology predominated as the main referral source, and interventions centering on monitoring emerged as the pivotal drug-related concern. This encompassed a collaborative approach, involving interdisciplinary efforts toward patient education and critical parameter monitoring. Of the total 347 pharmaceutical interventions, 66.3% (N = 230) specialty office visits, 14.1% (N = 49) general practitioner consultations, 12.4% (N = 43) hospitalizations, and 7.2% (N = 25) ER visits were avoided. The economic analysis underscores cost savings ensuing from pharmaceutical interventions, amounting to a cumulative 603,792.82 USD. Extrapolating these findings to a patient cohort of 400 enrolled in the pharmaceutical care program approximates per-patient savings of 361.47 USD. Conclusion: This study reveals the significant clinical and economic benefits of CMM programs, led by multidisciplinary pharmaceutical professionals. The findings provide compelling evidence for hospital management to consider promoting such programs, drawing from the patient-centered care model in the United States applicable to Latin America.

RESUMO

Aim: Comprehensive medication management (CMM) is a clinical service that aims to optimize the therapeutic results of patients at the individual level. Studies carried out in Brazil and in several parts of the world have found a positive impact of the service, mainly in the resolution of drug therapy problems and in improving clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life. This service is not widespread and its acceptability and willingness to pay were not defined by the population yet. Objective: This work aims to conduct a study with users of private health services to determine the acceptability and willingness to pay for CMM services. Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey conducted through face-to-face interviews, among residents over 18 years of age of the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Results: For this study, 563 individuals were interviewed. Most respondents were female (55.1%), had completed high school (46.8%) and were employed (62.5%). The acceptability for the service was 93,25%, and among all respondents, 37 would not accept the service even if it was free. The amount of consumers' willingness to pay for the CMM service was estimated at $17.75 (40.00 BRL). Conclusion: The research results show that most people are willing to pay for the CMM service. This study can contribute to the decision-making regarding the implementation and pricing of the service in Brazil.

RESUMO

Patient prioritization in comprehensive medication management services allows coordinating care and guiding patients according to their clinical profile and their medication use. The aim of the study is to identify and describe factors that indicate the need for comprehensive medication management services among primary care hypertension patients within a public health system from the perspective of patients, pharmacists, nurses and physicians. A qualitative study was carried out with interviews with nurses, pharmacists and physicians (n = 20), and two focus groups with hypertensive patients (n = 12) at primary health care facilities and a public outdoor fitness area between January and February 2019 in Brazil. All interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the Atlas.ti® software. The data analysis revealed the following factors indicative of the need to refer hypertension patients to a pharmacist: lifestyle habits, comorbidities, health care utilization and medication use. The issues identified and the information obtained from the qualitative research and compared with literature studies reviewed allowed defining dimensions that should be considered as an aid in the selection of uncontrolled hypertensive patients for comprehensive medication management services.

RESUMO

Self-medication is a part of the self-care practices carried out by the elderly in their environment. The aim of this case report is to show how the self-medication of fluoxetine and dimenhydrinate in an older adult can induce serotoninergic and cholinergic syndromes, showing symptoms such as nausea, tachycardia, tremor, loss of appetite, memory loss, decreased vision, falls, and increased urination. An older adult who has been diagnosed with arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and a recent diagnosis of essential thrombosis is the subject of this case report. After the analysis of the case, cessation of fluoxetine was recommended to avoid withdrawal symptoms, therefore decreasing the need for dimenhydrinate and the medicines used for dyspepsia. After the recommendation, the patient showed an improvement in the symptoms. Finally, the comprehensive evaluation process of the medication in the Medicines Optimization Unit achieved the detection of the problem and improved the patient's health condition.

RESUMO

Implementing Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) services uncovered the importance of the totality of the patient's perspective in this process. The holistic approach takes into account the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals, as well as their socioeconomic circumstances. The aim of this study was to characterize the scientific evidence associated with CMM services that included this holistic approach. A scoping review was conducted based on Arksey and O'Malley's method. Searches were performed in Google Scholar for papers published between 2010 and 2020 in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Study design, health contexts, sample of patients, results obtained, barriers and facilitators, and the integration of a holistic approach were determined. Two hundred and eighteen papers were evaluated, most of which focused on the implementation of this service through prospective observational studies. A minority of studies reported on a holistic approach, a smaller number examined the effect of social determinants of health, the patient's medication experiences and the pharmacotherapy outcomes from the patient's perspective. Despite the progress achieved, most of the referents do not yet reflect a broader view of the patient's life situation and its relationship to pharmacotherapy and the ways in which the pharmacist implements holistic elements to solve or prevent drug-related problems.

RESUMO

En este texto presentamos una aproximación al concepto de autonomía aplicado al campo de la salud mental tomando como marco la "Guía para la gestión autónoma de la medicación" (GAM) y su despliegue en Brasil y España. La estrategia GAM plantea una comprensión de la autonomía alejada de una visión individualista para aproximarse a una perspectiva social y colectiva. En este artículo vamos a evidenciar los posibles desplazamientos y las tensiones generadas, así como los efectos de autonomización que conlleva su implementación en salud mental. En la experiencia brasileña, se observa ese desplazamiento desde el lugar del saber-poder, propio de los profesionales, mientras la experiencia española muestra cómo la adaptación de la herramienta parte de la necesaria implicación de los profesionales, de los usuarios/as, sus familias y su red social en un proceso conjunto de trabajo y cuidado colectivo. (AU)

Neste texto apresentamos o conceito de autonomia aplicado ao campo da saúde mental. Para isso tomaremos como referencial uma experiência denominada "Guia para a gestão autônoma de medicamentos" (GAM) e sua implantação em dois contextos geográficos: Brasil e Espanha. A estratégia GAM propõe uma compreensão da autonomia afastando-se de uma visão individualista para se aproximar de uma perspectiva social e coletiva. Neste artigo iremos evidenciar os possíveis deslocamentos e tensões presentes, bem como os possíveis efeitos da autonomização que sua implementação produziu no contexto do cuidado em saúde mental. Assim, na experiência brasileira, observamos como esse deslocamento se produz a partir desse lugar do poder-saber, típico da experiência do profissional, enquanto a experiência espanhola mostra como a adaptação da ferramenta decorre da implicação necessária dos profissionais, usuários, familiares e rede social em um processo conjunto de trabalho e cuidado coletivo. (AU)

In this article we present the concept of autonomy applied to the field of mental health drawing on experiences of the implementation of the "Autonomous Medication Management Guide" in two different contexts: Brazil and Spain. Autonomous medication management proposes an understanding of autonomy that moves away from an individualistic view towards a social and collective perspective. This article highlights potential shifts and tensions and the possible effects of "autonomization" in the context of mental health care. In the Brazilian experience, we observed how this shift is produced from the place of power-knowledge typical of professional practice, while the Spanish experience shows how the adaptation of the tool derives from the necessary involvement of professionals, service users, families and social networks through a joint process of collective working and care.

RESUMO

Este artigo apresenta a experiência de pesquisa-intervenção participativa da Gestão Autônoma da Medicação (GAM) com familiares. A GAM, de origem canadense, procura discutir criticamente o uso da medicação psiquiátrica de modo a fomentar a autonomia dos usuários desses medicamentos. No Brasil, o chamado projeto GAM-BR realizou a tradução, adaptação e validação do instrumento utilizado nesta abordagem, o Guia GAM. Seguimos as indicações teórico-práticas da abordagem enativa e empregamos a metodologia da cartografia, em especial a técnica da entrevista cartográfica. Como um projeto participativo, a validação do Guia contou com usuários e trabalhadores dos serviços de saúde mental brasileiros (Caps) como copesquisadores. A realização de um grupo com familiares de usuários na etapa de validação do Guia foi uma inovação na GAM-BR que possibilitou a inclusão desse grupo fundamental para a discussão acerca do tratamento medicamentoso. Podemos destacar dois efeitos processuais desse trabalho com familiares: a promoção de deslocamentos de ponto de vista e a promoção de corresponsabilização. Tais efeitos sugerem perspectivas para a GAM e para o trabalho em saúde mental, em um horizonte de inclusão e composição entre diferentes perspectivas.(AU)

This article presents the participatory research-intervention experience of Autonomous Medication Management (GAM) with family members. The GAM, a Canadian project, seeks to critically discuss the use of psychiatric medication to foster the autonomy of users of these drugs. In Brazil, the so-called GAM-BR project translated, adapted, and validated the instrument used in this approach, the GAM Guide. We follow the theoretical-practical indications of the enactive approach and employ the cartography methodology, in particular the cartographic interview technique. As a participatory project, the validation of the Guide included users and workers of the Brazilian mental health services (CAPS) as co-researchers. The creation of a group with family members of users in the validation phase was an innovation in GAM-BR that enabled the inclusion of this fundamental group for the discussion about drug treatment. We can highlight two processual effects of this work with family members: the promotion of displacements of points of view and the promotion of co-responsibility. These effects suggest perspectives for GAM and the work in mental health, in a horizon of inclusion and composition between different perspectives.(AU)

RESUMO

Abstract There is a global improvement in critical care services that leads to prolonged survival after ICU stay. This improvement has increased the demand for multidisciplinary critical care services beyond the ICU. Recently, efforts focused on the patient's quality of life after ICU discharge and family involvement in their care. Most older adults who survive an ICU stay are challenged by complex medication changes following discharge, as are their caregivers. Limited literature addresses the standard of practice for medication management and critical care pharmacists' involvement in post-ICU services. This narrative review describes the available literature that addresses medication management in post-ICU settings by critical care pharmacists and potential axes for future research. The included articles were articles published in English related to adult ICU survivors and addressed pharmacist involvement or medication management. The main findings summarize the most performed pharmacist services following ICU discharge, including medication reconciliation, full medication review, and adverse drug event preventative measures. This review concluded a lack of consensus about the standard model of post-ICU pharmacy services and the relationship of these services with long-term outcomes.

RESUMO

Ante ao consumo excessivo e desinformado de psicotrópicos por usuários dos serviços de saúde mental, algumas abordagens têm emergido neste campo, como a Gestão Autônoma da Medicação (GAM) que propõe uma discussão sobre o papel da medicação na vida daqueles que a utilizam. Na atenção à saúde das pessoas que consomem drogas o uso da GAM é um movimento recente a ser mapeado. Assim, este estudo objetivou analisar a produção acadêmica sobre a utilização da GAM no contexto da atenção à saúde das pessoas que consomem drogas. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura que buscou publicações dos últimos 5 anos nas plataformas BVS e SciELO. Selecionamos 7 artigos nos quais identificamos 3 eixos temáticos: contexto histórico da GAM no Brasil e aspectos metodológicos; GAM e especificidades AD e; crítica à medicalização. Os estudos analisados elucidam especificidades, desafios e potencialidades do trabalho com a GAM no âmbito do consumo de drogas. O reduzido número de publicações sobre essa temática, entretanto, sugere serem necessários mais estudos para explorar a interface aberta pela inserção da GAM nesse contexto. (AU)

In response to the problem of excessive and uninformed use of psychotropic drugs among users of mental health services, approaches have emerged in this field, such as the case of Autonomous Medication Management (MMA) which proposes a discussion about the place occupied by medication in the lives of those who use it. In the health care for people who abuse drugs, the use of MMA is a recent movement to be mapped. Thus, this study analyzes the academic production about the use of MMA in the context of health care for people who abuse drugs. It is an integrative literature review that searched for publications referring to the last 5 years in the BVS and SciELO databases. The search resulted in the selection of 7 articles from which we identified 3 relevant themes: historical context of MMA in Brazil and methodological aspects; GAM and specificities AD and; critical of medicalization. The analyzed articles elucidate the specifics, challenges and potential of working with MMA in the context of drug abuse. However, the small number of publications found on this theme suggests further studies are needed to explore the interface opened by the insertion of MMA practices in this context. (AU)

RESUMO

Este artigo foi construído em interface com o projeto brasileiro da Estratégia da Gestão Autônoma da Medicação (GAM), especificamente em Vitória (Espírito Santo) em um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Infanto-Juvenil (CAPSi). Ele enuncia o desdobramento da GAM em sua experiência inédita com Grupo de Intervenção com Familiares (GIFs) de crianças e adolescentes e tem por objetivo narrar a experimentação da GAM no Estado do Espírito Santo, no campo da saúde mental infanto-juvenil. Nesta pesquisa afirmamos uma postura ético-metodológica pautada no método cartográfico e na pesquisa-intervenção, pressupondo a produção de conhecimento indissociável da produção de cuidado. A GAM tem contribuído para a efetivação das políticas públicas de saúde, como um exercício de ampliação de possibilidades de cuidado, disparando processos de autonomia e protagonismo, democratização nos serviços de saúde, criando e sustentando formas de tratamento coletivamente, reconfigurando, assim, as relações entre usuários, familiares, profissionais e pesquisadores.(AU)

This article was built in interface with the Brazilian Autonomous Medication Management Strategy (GAM) project, specifically in Vitória (Espírito Santo) at a Child and Youth Psychosocial Care Center (CAPSi). It enunciates the unfolding of GAM in its unprecedented experience with Group of Intervention with Family (GIFs) of children and adolescents and aims to narrate the experimentation of GAM in the State of Espírito Santo, in the field of intangible and youth mental health. In this research, we affirm an ethical-methodological stance based on the cartographic method and in research-intervention, assuming the production of knowledge inseparable from the production of care. GAM has contributed to the effectiveness of public health policies, as an exercise in expanding care possibilities, triggering processes of autonomy and protagonism, democratization in health services, creating and sustaining forms of treatment collectively, thus reconfiguring relationships among users, family members, professionals and also researchers.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of reinforcing an educational programme through telephone follow-up on health-related quality of life and anxiety and depression symptoms in individuals starting warfarin therapy. BACKGROUND: Educational interventions have improved quality of life in individuals using warfarin. Few studies have examined the addition of telephone follow-up to enhance educational interventions. DESIGN: Randomised controlled trial in outpatient setting. METHODS: Hospitalised adults starting warfarin therapy who agreed to participate received an educational programme about the warfarin treatment. At discharge, they were randomised to receive either five telephone follow-up calls (intervention) or no telephone calls (controls). Both groups were evaluated for health-related quality of life (using Duke Anticoagulation Satisfaction Scale) and symptoms of anxiety and depression (using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) at three and six months post-discharge. Groups were compared at each time by independent-samples t test, and over time by repeated-measures analysis of variance, with time (three and six months), groups (intervention and control) and an interaction between time and group as factors. Level of significance was set at 0.05. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials was used for reporting. RESULTS: Fifty-two individuals (26 per group) completed the study. There were no statistical differences between groups in health-related quality of life, anxiety and depression symptoms, at both times post-discharge. Participants who received follow-up telephone calls reported better positive psychological impact (a subscale of quality of life) than controls. CONCLUSIONS: Reinforcing an educational programme with telephone follow-ups did not have an overall effect on health-related quality of life of individuals using warfarin but promoted positive psychological impact. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The low cost of reinforcing educational programmes with telephone calls and the improvement in positive psychological aspects indicate that this type of intervention is still a promising intervention that could be further investigated and improved.

RESUMO

In Comprehensive medication management (CMM), the practitioner applies a decision-making method to assess patients' pharmacotherapy in order to identify and solve drug therapy problems. Grounded theory was used to understand how pharmacists make clinical decisions when providing CMM service. Data collection included individual semi structured interviews with 11 pharmacists, observation of clinical case discussions and CMM consultations provided by the participating pharmacists. Two main categories emerged: 1. Understanding the rational method of decision-making: the foundation of the patient care process. 2. Balancing the care equation: the objective and the subjective, which includes a theoretical proposal explaining the pharmacists' decision-making process and the factors that can modify this process. The pharmacotherapy knowledge should guide the anamnesis. Thus, the professional can evaluate the indication, effectiveness, safety and convenience of medications used by the patient. After exploring patients' medication experiences, pharmacists can follow two courses of action: helping the patient overcome barriers to medication use; or matching the pharmacotherapy to the patient's routine. Professional autonomy and absence of the patient at the time of the decision were some factors that influenced the pharmacist's decision. Findings provide a broad understanding of pharmacists' decision-making process during the care of patients using medications. It can be applied as a basis for educational interventions to train professionals on decision-making.

RESUMO

Introduction: Product switching followed by suspected adverse events are common and unsettling for antiepileptic drugs. The objective of this case study was to describe the investigation performed after report of suspected therapeutic failure in pediatric patients following a switch to a different valproate manufacturer and identify strategies concerning medication management for improving therapeutic outcomes. Case description: It was reported that different pediatric patients' condition changed (agitation/ seizures) after refilling the same drug prescription (sodium valproate syrup) from a different manufacturer. Medical staff reported a suspected therapeutic failure and some units of the product batch associated with the problem were seized by the local Post-marketing Surveillance Service for investigation of potential quality deviations. The seized units were evaluated by the State's Surveillance Laboratory, nevertheless, drug potency was found to be 98.7%. Conclusion: We consider that the reported event could be associated with aspects of medication use, i.e. potential dose measurement deviations resulting from remaining of residual liquid in the cup or eventual delay at prescription refilling process and consequential - even though brief - pharmacotherapy discontinuity. Patient education and counseling by pharmacists are essential for preventing drug-related problems and enhancing positive outcomes of pharmacotherapy.

RESUMO

O artigo aborda duas questões centrais no desenvolvimento contemporâneo da pesquisa em Saúde Mental: a inclusão dos saberes comunitários, ou da experiência, e a participação direta das pessoas na construção dos conhecimentos. Para isso, analisa a experiência de participação cidadã no projeto que traduziu e adaptou um instrumento que prevê um lugar central aos usuários na tomada de decisões do tratamento farmacológico em psiquiatria, o guia GAM (Gestão Autônoma da Medicação). Mais especificamente, procura-se compreender se a metodologia participativa permite transformar as relações de saber-poder e quais são suas implicações. Nossa conclusão é que, através de uma metodologia científica que inclui e valoriza os sujeitos em suas diferenças, a participação pôde tensionar posições hierárquicas pré-estabelecidas, favorecendo um contexto em que os cidadãos, mais empoderados e autônomos, ampliam a capacidade de atuação nas práticas da rede de pesquisa, contribuindo para a desconstrução de condições sócio-históricas de exclusão.

The article addresses two central issues in the contemporary development of Mental Health research: the inclusion of community knowledge, or experiential knowledge, and the active participation of people in the construction of knowledge. To this end, it analyzes the experience of citizen participation in the project that translated and adapted an instrument that places the individual at the center of the decision making of pharmacological treatment in psychiatry, the GAM (Gaining Autonomy & Medication Management) guide. More specifically, it seeks to understand whether the participatory methodology allows to transform the relations of knowledge-power and what are its implications. Our conclusion is that, through a scientific methodology that includes and values individuals in their differences, participation could change pre-established hierarchical structure, facilitating a context in which the citizens, more empowered and autonomous, have increased their capacity to influence the research practices, contributing to the deconstruction of the socio-historical structure and their situation of exclusion.

Mas concretamente trata de comprender si una metodología participativa permite transformar las relaciones entre el saber y el poder y cuáles son sus implicaciones. Nuestra conclusión es que, mediante una metodología científica que incluye y pone en valor a los sujetos y a sus diferencias, la participación puede poner en cuestión posiciones jerárquicas preestablecidas, favoreciendo un contexto en el que los ciudadanos, más empoderados y autónomos, amplían la capacidad de actuación en las practicas de la red de investigación, contribuyendo a la deconstrucción de las condiciones sociohistóricas de la exclusión.

RESUMO

Este artigo decorre de uma pesquisa de doutorado que investigou a noção de experiência nos artigos sobre a Gestão Autônoma da Medicação no Brasil publicados entre 2011 e 2018. Nele, aborda-se um dos aspectos evidenciados pela pesquisa: a discussão da noção de experiência a partir da perspectiva decolonial, na companhia de autores como Achille Mbembe, Gayatri Spivak e Conceição Evaristo, com o objetivo de aproximar tal discussão das particularidades que dizem respeito à população brasileira quanto ao tema das subalternidades e das relações raciais. Os resultados apontam para a invisibilidade e o silenciamento a respeito de tais questões na produção referente à estratégia GAM durante o período mencionado. Ao mesmo tempo, são localizadas passagens onde os usuários fazem resistência e apresentam saídas para enfrentar a opressão. Assim, reconhece-se na GAM um potencial antirracista que pode vir a se fortalecer.

This article stems from a doctoral research that investigated the notion of experience in the articles on Autonomous Medication Management in Brazil published between 2011 and 2018. In it, one of the aspects highlighted by the research is discussed: the discussion of the notion of experience from the decolonial perspective, in the company of authors such as Achille Mbembe, Gayatri Spivak and Conceição Evaristo, with the aim of bringing this discussion closer to the particularities that concern the Brazilian population on the subject of subalternities and race relations. The results point to invisibility and silencing about such issues in the GAM strategy during the period mentioned. At the same time, passages are located where users resist and present exits to face oppression. Thus, we recognize in GAM an anti-racist potential that can be strengthened.

Este artículo se deriva de una investigación doctoral sobre la noción de experiencia en los artículos de la Gestión Autónoma de la Medicación en Brasil publicados entre 2011 y 2018.

Los resultados apuntan a la invisibilidad y al silencio sobre tales problemas en la estrategia GAM durante el período mencionado. Al mismo tiempo, los pasajes se ubican donde los usuarios resisten y presentan salidas para enfrentar la opresión. Por lo tanto, reconocemos en la GAM potencial antirracista que se puede fortalecer.

RESUMO

Este estudo parte da adoção do Guia GAM-BR como ferramenta da política de saúde mental no Rio Grande do Sul. Objetivando avaliar repercussões de sua implementação no estado, desenvolveu-se pesquisa avaliativa com trabalhadores, usuários, gestores e familiares envolvidos com a estratégia GAM em serviços de três regiões do RS. Realizaram-se rodas de conversas cuja transcrição foi transformada em narrativas submetidas à discussão com todos segmentos. Neste artigo, destacam-se dois dos oito eixos temáticos que orientaram a análise do conjunto das narrativas: função estratégica da GAM entre a tutela e o cuidado; estratégias e metodologias para produção de grupalidade. Nota-se, em grupos GAM, coexistirem exercícios de autonomia e tutela, ao mesmo tempo que se produzem espaços de fala, trocas entre participantes e interlocução com profissionais. O manejo cogestivo dos grupos sinaliza estratégias e metodologias para produção de grupalidade, incidindo na participação ativa e crítica dos usuários.

This study starts with the introduction of the GAM-BR Guide as a tool for mental health policy in Rio Grande do Sul. In order to evaluate the repercussions of its implementation, an evaluation study was conducted with workers, users, managers and family members involved with the GAM strategy in services in three regions of Rio Grande do Sul. Conversation rounds were held and its transcription was transformed into narratives submitted for discussion with all segments. In this article, two of the eight thematic axes that guided the analysis of the set of narratives are pointed out: GAM's strategic function between guardianship and care and strategies and methodologies for groupality production. In GAM groups, exercises of autonomy and tutelage coexist, and it produces speaking spaces, exchanges between participants and dialogues with professionals. The cogestive management of groups indicates strategies and methodologies for groupality production, which results in the active and critical participation of users.

RESUMO

Neste artigo compartilhamos reverberações de uma experiência formativa na cidade de Santos, em São Paulo, e da articulação de um Observatório Internacional de Práticas de Gestão Autônoma da Medicação (GAM), com vistas à produção de estratégias emancipatórias e libertárias em saúde mental. Nos últimos anos, novas ações de cuidado baseadas no paradigma da Atenção Psicossocial vêm sendo propostas sem, entretanto, serem acompanhadas de forma a evidenciar suas potencialidades e limitações no cotidiano dos serviços. A partir de metodologia participativa e colaborativa, percebemos que a formação para a GAM traz materialidade aos princípios da Reforma Psiquiátrica Brasileira, possibilitando aos trabalhadores um exercício radical de problematização de aspectos sutis e pouco incorporados em suas práticas, convocando a um percurso a ser feito junto dos usuários. Especificamente, junto a pessoas com problemas com drogas, ressaltamos a inseparabilidade do debate sobre as drogas prescritas e não prescritas, presente nas experimentações e buscas pelo prazer, pelo alívio da dor, pela construção de lugar nas relações de consumo, e pela reinvenção de possíveis. Acreditamos que o Observatório GAM viabilizará a difusão da incidência da GAM sobre as diferentes das práticas manicomiais do contemporâneo, necessariamente, medicalizantes.

In this article, we share reverberations of a formative experience in the city of Santos, in São Paulo, and in the articulation of an International Observatory of Medication Management Practices (GAM), with a view to the production of emancipatory and libertarian statistics in mental health . In recent years, the new care actions adopted in the Psychosocial Care paradigm have been applied without, however, being monitored in order to highlight their potential and the unused permissions in daily services. Based on a participatory and collaborative methodology, it is perceived that the training for GAM brings materiality to the principles of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, allowing workers a radical exercise of problematizing subtle aspects and little incorporated in their practices, summoning a student to be done together of users. Specifically, with people with drug problems, we highlight the inseparability of the debate about prescription and non-prescription drugs, present in experiences and in the search for pleasure, for the wear of pain, for the construction of a place in consumption relationships and for the reinvention of possible ones. We believe that the GAM Observatory enables the dissemination of GAM on the different imposed, medicalizing manicomic practices of the contemporary.

En este artículo, compartimos las reverberaciones de una experiencia formativa en la ciudad de Santos, en São Paulo, y en la articulación de un Observatorio Internacional de Prácticas de Gestión de Medicamentos (GAM), con miras a la producción de estadísticas emancipadoras y libertarias en salud mental. . En los últimos años, las nuevas acciones de atención adoptadas en el paradigma de la Atención Psicosocial se han aplicado sin, sin embargo, ser monitoreadas para resaltar su potencial y los permisos no utilizados en los servicios diarios. Basado en una metodología participativa y colaborativa, se percibe que la capacitación para GAM aporta materialidad a los principios de la Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileña, permitiendo a los trabajadores un ejercicio radical de problematizar aspectos sutiles y poco incorporados en sus prácticas, convocando a un estudiante para que se hagan juntos de usuarios. Específicamente, con personas con problemas de drogas, destacamos la inseparabilidad del debate sobre los medicamentos recetados y no recetados, presente en las experiencias y en la búsqueda del placer, el desgaste del dolor, la construcción de un lugar en las relaciones de consumo y la reinvención de los posibles. Creemos que el Observatorio GAM permite la difusión de GAM en las diferentes prácticas manicómicas medicalizadas impuestas y contemporáneas.

RESUMO

Neste artigo, analisamos a experimentação da Estratégia GAM no Espírito Santo. O trabalho de pesquisa intervenção participativa com a GAM no percurso de cinco anos constituiu a montagem de três dispositivos. No campo da saúde mental infantojuvenil foram propostos um Grupo GAM com familiares de crianças que fazem uso de psicotrópicos e uma Oficina com crianças. O terceiro dispositivo envolveu a rede de saúde mental mais ampla, com a implementação da Estratégia GAM efetuada por trabalhadoras(es), tendo a Universidade como parceira a partir da criação de um dispositivo de Supervisão coletiva. Dimensionamos essa experiência como inauguradora de outros domínios de intervenção da GAM, compreendendo que tal abertura coloca em relevo o potencial desta estratégia e também o seu maior desafio: a capacidade de ser reinventada a cada experiência situada. Cada dispositivo criado tornou-se inseparável na construção da participação que faz operar coletivos mais cogestivos e autônomos.

In this article, we analyze the experimentation of the GAM Strategy in Espírito Santo. The participatory intervention research with GAM over the course of five years constituted the assembly of three devices. In the field of mental health for children and adolescents were proposed a GAM Group with family members of children using psychotropic drugs and an Atelier with children. The third device involved the broader mental health network, with the implementation of the GAM Strategy carried out by workers, having the University as a partner with the creation of a Collective supervision device. We dimension this experience as the inaugurator of other areas of GAM intervention, understanding that such opening highlights the potential of this strategy and also its greatest challenge: the ability to be reinvented for each situated experience. Each device created has become inseparable in the construction of participation that makes collectives more co-managing and autonomous.

RESUMO

Este artigo trata de uma experiência de pesquisa com a Gestão Autônoma da Medicação (GAM) no nordeste brasileiro, precisamente na cidade de Maceió/Alagoas. Um dos desdobramentos da chegada da GAM neste campo foi a construção de uma disciplina eletiva ofertada aos cursos de graduação em saúde numa universidade pública,sobre a GAM como estratégia formativa e sensibilizadora da rede. Utilizamos os princípios da GAM para dirigir a experiência na sala de aula e nas práticas em dois Centros de Atenção Psicossocial. A partir dessa experiência analisamos os efeitos de utilizar a estratégia GAM como estratégia de formação na universidade e na rede de saúde mental.

This article is about a research experience with Autonomous Medication Management (GAM) in northeast Brazil, on the city of Maceió/Alagoas. The consequence of arrival GAM in this field was the construction of a discipline about the GAM as a formative strategy and sensitizing the public health network. We use GAM principles to direct classroom experience offered to ungraduated health courses in a public university with a practice in two Psychosocial Care Centers. From this experience, we analyze the effects of using the GAM strategy as a training strategy in the university also in the mental health network.
