Abstract

In mental health we have faced challenges over the years, we have advanced with public policies aimed at meeting the assumptions of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform. With the expansion of substitutive networks for psychiatry, new practices were produced, influencing the process of training nurses from undergraduate and graduate levels. Objective: to analyze nurses' strategies for teaching-care integration with multiprofessional residents in Mental Health. Methods: Qualitative, descriptive study with ten nurses from a university psychiatric institution. Data were collected from February/17 to May/17, through semi-structured interviews and submitted to content analysis, in the thematic mode. Results: We identified as strategies: interprofessional interaction; team work; stimulus to psychosocial care. Conclusion: Nurses act as facilitators of the teaching-learning process regardless of whether they are preceptors or not, as they permanently work in care. We suggest formality in the preparation of nurse-preceptors who use appropriate teaching methodologies for the field of mental health.
