Objectives:
to understand nurses' perception from the Federal District Health Department and Multidisciplinary Program in Child and Adolescent Mental Health residents regarding practices at the Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Care Center, identifying challenges and gaps in their training.
Methods:
semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis, which consists of three phases: pre-analysis, content exploration, and elaboration of results.
Results:
55.5% participants have worked at the Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Care Center for four years or more, and 44.4% chose the mental health area. Analysis revealed three thematic axes: "Mental health in the academic context"; "Continuing education in mental health"; "Nursing role deconstruction or construction".
Conclusions:
it was found that academic training is still insufficient to prepare nurses to work in the biopsychosocial model and expanded clinical practice, generating a feeling of unpreparedness and insecurity. In this scenario, continuing education emerges as an alternative to strengthen professional practice.
