- Abstract
Disorder or mental illness is a psychological disorder which impedes the development of the daily life of the patient. One definition of nursing care would be the aid to the unhealthy individual in the performance of activities which contribute to his health or recovery. In this context, the objective of this study was to observe the difficulties encountered by the nursing staff in their daily tasks with patients with some type of mental disorder in public institutions in the cities of Visconde do Rio Branco and São Geraldo/MG. To carry out this study, was used a questionnaire containing 10 closed questions directed to staff , technicians and nurses of the institutions for a total of 15 respondents of both sexes, randomly chosen in the workplace.It was concluded that, in these institutions, there is no kind of training for the nursing staff focused on this type of care andthe professional often avoids direct contact with the patient with mental disorders as the professional does not know how to deal with that situation.
