Abstract

 

Aim: To analyze the knowledge, learning, and knowledge applicability of nursing undergraduates regarding Psychiatric Reform. Methods: An observational cross-sectional qualitative study with 34 nursing undergraduates from different periods who had already taken the Mental Health subject in a public university nursing program in the western region of the state of Maranhão. Results: Knowledge about the psychiatric reform was recognized, but practical application does not fully reflect the principles of the reform. The subject’s workload was perceived as disproportionate, suggesting the need for more practical content. The textual analysis highlighted the importance of mental health in the respondents’ statements and the interrelationships of terms such as “area” and “reform”. Conclusion: The nursing undergraduates were unaware of some devices of the Psychosocial Care Network, but were familiar with the nurse’s role in the psychosocial care model proposed by the Psychiatric Reform.
