Summary
This study analyzes Brazilian nursing documents to understand child mental health evolution. A decolonial perspective is proposed to enhance nursing knowledge and improve child mental health care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Child Mental Health
- Public Health Policy
Background:
- Child mental health understanding in Brazil is shaped by nursing practice documents.
- Historical and ideological factors influence the perception and care of child mental health.
- Nursing's role in child mental health services requires further examination.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the evolution of child mental health understanding within Brazilian nursing practice.
- To identify key themes in nursing documents guiding child mental health care.
- To propose a decolonial perspective for advancing nursing knowledge in child mental health.
Main Methods:
- Normative analysis of eleven key documents guiding nursing practice in Brazil.
- Thematic analysis to identify recurring concepts and constructions.
- Historical and ideological examination of evolving themes.
Main Results:
- Four central themes emerged: developmental approach, policies/social history, care spaces, and nurses' work visibility.
- Ideological and social constructions underpin these themes, showing transformation yet core consistency.
- The invisibility of nurses' contributions to child mental health is a persistent issue.
Conclusions:
- A decolonial perspective is crucial for deconstructing existing power structures in nursing knowledge.
- Integrating this perspective can improve the quality of child mental health care in Brazil.
- Further research should explore the practical application of decoloniality in nursing education and practice.

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

01:30Socioemotional Development during Infancy
197
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

01:30Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development
113
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...
