Abstract

The Autonomous Medication Management Guide consists of a set of steps that propose questions and information to the medication user to help him rethink his relationship with the use of psychiatric medicines, aiming to increase his negotiation power with respect to his treatment with the team. that accompanies it. The KIT-GAM card game was an adaptation of the guide for young people who use medicine in the field of mental health, divided into three distinct parts: game 1 (getting to know you); game 2 (the messenger and the king) and game 3 (John help). To aim of this study is to describe the experiences of young users regarding the use of KIT-GAM, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, in a child psychosocial care center to develop autonomy over their health-disease process. This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach on the application of game 1 of the KIT-GAM (knowing you) among adolescents monitored at a child psychosocial care center in the city of Fortaleza-Ceará, carried out between July and September 2021 Seven teenagers (center users), three pharmacy students and a psychologist (center professional) participated. For data collection, the focus group technique was used and the monitoring of some activities was carried out through a WhatsApp group. One of the main results observed was the interaction of the group resulting from activities carried out with members arranged in face-to-face or remote conversation circles. The WhatsApp group also enabled communication between participants. Notices and guidelines about the workshops were passed on in the online group. In view of the findings, the study concludes that the adherence and engagement of adolescents showed interest in the game, indicating that it is possible to approach and discuss care issues from another perspective, that of youth protagonism. In addition, professionals demonstrated willingness to listen and establish partnerships with the university in order to promote new education and health actions aimed at patient-centered care.
