Abstract


This study seeks to analyze the perceptions of family members regarding the mental health care provided during
psychiatric inpatient treatment. This is a qualitative study, undertaken in a psychiatric inpatient center in a university hospital,
with five family members who participated in the Family Group. The framework of thematic analysis was adopted for critical
appreciation of the results, with the category The care in mental health emerging. The care is perceived by the family members
through Embracement, Access to Information, Improvement in Self-care, the Taking of Medication, and through the family
groups offered by the center. It is concluded that the mental health care indicates the family as a partner in the most effective
comprehensive health actions, this attendance requiring greater closeness and availability of the nurse.
