Human rights in Psychosocial Care Centers of Northeast Brazil: an evaluative study with reference to the WHO QualityRights

The article aims to evaluate the practices of Psychosocial Care Centers in respect for human rights of the users, analyzing their perceptions concerning the beliefs, values, habits, prejudices suffered, or not met demands and community participation, as concrete exercise of citizenship. Through the analysis of ethno-epidemiological data of the Project Avaliar-Caps Northeast (Ministry of Health/2013), using questionnaires and direct observation in the light of QualityRights, it was found that the Psychosocial Care Centers positively influence on the lives of the users, by encouraging their autonomy, the co-responsibility in the care and the sociocultural and political leadership in services and in their communities.

本研究旨在评估精神心理照护中心（Psychosocial Care Centers）对服务使用者人权的尊重实践，分析使用者关于自身信仰、价值观、习惯、所遭遇的偏见、未被满足的需求以及社区参与情况的认知，将其视作公民身份的具体实践。本研究通过分析阿瓦利亚尔-卡普斯东北项目（Avaliar-Caps Northeast，卫生部/2013）的民族流行病学（ethno-epidemiological）数据，结合问卷调查与直接观察法，并以QualityRights为指导框架，最终发现：精神心理照护中心通过赋能使用者的自主性、推动照护中的共同责任，以及培育其在服务机构与社区中的社会文化与政治领导力，对使用者的生活产生了积极影响。
