As integrated primary care (IPC) evolves, so does the new role of the behavioral health clinician (BHC). At present, mental health providers from various specialties are working as BHCs and adapting their training and skills to work as part of the medical team. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the experiences of BHCs who work in IPC so as to better understand their roles, attitudes, and training needs. The themes that emerged from semi-structured interviews suggest that the roles of a BHC are multifaceted and rooted in a holistic mind-body approach. Participants supported the need for additional training in graduate programs and internships for integrated care. The results informed a conceptual model of BHCs working in IPC.

Occupational Therapy Practitioners

Occupational therapy practitioners have the opportunity to promote development for all children as new service delivery models are established for pediatric primary care. Three action steps are identified: (1) advocacy for legislation that requires developmental screenings and surveillance, (2) support of culturally responsive developmental monitoring, and (3) building evidence for occupational therapy in primary care settings. This article describes the role of occupational therapy practitioners on pediatric interprofessional teams in encouraging family capacity within the scope of health promotion and universal developmental monitoring.

Means Of Production

O estudo propõe um debate sobre o cuidado em saúde mental na atenção básica, partindo do entendimento de que a produção do cuidado se dá em redes, não apenas institucionais, mas redes vivas e de potência criativa. O percurso metodológico se deu por meio da cartografia, de modo que foi possível rastrear o território para além dos serviços de saúde. Como meio de produção de dados utilizaram-se os diários de campo produzidos na vigência de doze meses do projeto de extensão: Saúde Mental na atenção básica- desafio e necessidade, desenvolvido em uma unidade integrada de saúde da família de um município do estado da Paraíba. A vivência e atuação no território se deram inicialmente pelo mapeamento das redes de cuidado territoriais, como também a problematização das ações de cuidado na atenção básica, com o intuito de ampliar o debate sobre o papel das redes vivas no cuidado em saúde. Tal discussão possibilitou o desenvolvimento de ações em saúde pautadas na integralidade do cuidado, coesão social, produção de vida. Estes resultados apontam para a necessidade em se pensar ações compartilhadas e inseridas no território, tendo em vista que a saúde envolve também os territórios existenciais pelos quais os sujeitos circulam e produzem relações. A terapia ocupacional tem contribuído significativamente na consolidação deste cuidado. The study proposes a debate on mental health care in primary care, based on the understanding that the production of care takes place in networks, not only institutional, but also living networks and creative power. The methodological approach was through the mapping, so it was possible to trace the territory beyond the health services. As a means of production, data field diaries were  produced in the presence of twelve months of the extension project: Mental Health in the primary care - challenge and need, developed in an integrated health unit family in a municipality of state of Paraíba. The experience and operation in the territory was given initially by mapping of care networks available in the territory, as well as the questioning of care actions in primary care, in order to broaden the debate on the role of living networks in health care. This discussion enabled the development of health actions based on integrality of care, social cohesion, production of life in primary care. These results point to the need to think about shared and embedded actions in the territory, with a view that health also involves the existential territories for which individuals circulate and produce relations. Occupational therapy has significantly contributed to the consolidation of territorial care.Keywords: Comprehensive health care; Primary health care; Social network; Mental health, Occupational therapy. El estudio propone un debate sobre el cuidado en salud mental en la atención básica, basado en el entendimiento de que la producción de la atención se lleva a cabo en las redes, no sólo institucional, sino redes vivas y con poder creativo.

Estos resultados apuntan a la necesidad de pensar acciones compartidas en el territorio, teniendo en cuenta que la salud involucra también los territorios existenciales por los cuales los sujetos circulan y producen relaciones. La terapia ocupacional ha contribuido significativamente en la consolidación de este cuidado.Palabras clave: Asistencia integral de salud; Atención primaria de salud; Red social; Salud mental, Terapia ocupacional.
