Barreiras de acesso a um CAPS ad em um município no interior da Bahia

Abstract

The work consists of a study developed from an internship experience at the Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAPSad), located in a municipality in the interior of Bahia. During the experience, it was possible to experience the daily life of the service, establish direct contact with users and understand their realities and needs. From this experience, it was observed the presence of barriers that make it difficult for users to access the service and these observations encouraged the carrying out of this work. The aim of the work was to carry out a contextual analysis of the structural, attitudinal and organizational access barriers found in the analyzed CAPSad, in order to contribute to the qualification and improvement of service to CAPSad users. The method used was participant observation, which allowed a more in-depth understanding of the analyzed context. Regarding the results obtained, several structural, attitudinal and organizational barriers were identified. It was concluded that overcoming the barriers identified during this study is a challenge that requires the active and collaborative participation of different social actors and for this to happen there needs to be a joint effort involving the whole of society.
