Abstract

The internship report is part of the work plan recommended by the Specialization Master in Mental and Psychiatric Health, in which empirical method was used, based on necessary and underlying reflexion as well as bibliographical revision. This document intends to describe and evaluate the results from the internship practice. This report is also, in a certain way, a proposal for a public discussion aiming to obtain the Nursing Master Degree, in the future. It covers not only the internship fields, but also the outlined goals which based this internship in order to optimize the planning and the definition of all the steps towards the organization and orientation of all the training. This way it is possible to probe health care to the patient contributing to a better Mental Health. However, none of this would make sense if it was not the purpose of achieving and helping each individual to obtain his welfare, in other words, to achieve balance between mental and physical health. There was a guiding line, when the internship fields were chosen, to a better idea organization, goal achievement and to plan and execute the different activities. Therefore, some internship was made at PIAC - Projecto Integrado de Apoio à Comunidade (Community Support Integrated Project), and S.I.I., Serviço de Intervenção Intensiva (Intensive Intervention Service) at de Magalhães Lemos Hospital, for being totally embracing in what Mental Health interventions are concerned. The main goal of this specialization was to obtain extended professional and personal capacities and, concerning the Mental Health Patient, to enforce Professional practice.
