Abstract
Background: Perinatal mental health is an area that deserves more attention of mental health, and the disorders that arise at this stage are not valued. Mental health nursing focuses on promoting, preventing, diagnosing and intervening in the face of maladjusted or maladaptive processes of transition to parenthood. Counselling is a psychotherapeutic nursing intervention, making it pertinent to structure a counselling program to promote mental health. The characteristics of the intervention include the contents of the programme, its duration and frequency, the characteristics of the participants, the program's methods and strategies, the characteristics of the facilitators, the implementation context and its evaluation. Objective: Explore nurses' perspectives on a perinatal mental health nursing counselling program. Methodology: A qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study, guided by the COREQ checklist, through a non-probabilistic, intentional sampling method, with mental health specialist nurses, maternal and children health, who develop their work with pregnant women/ people who are pregnant and have children. Results: The findings of this study include the programme contents: Promotion of perinatal mental health; Strategies for well-being; Coping with the postpartum period. Monthly sessions of 90-120 minutes, implemented in groups of 6 to 12 pregnant women, with different educational methods and strategies, with the facilitators being specialist mental health and psychiatric nurses (EMHPSS), in the context of primary health care, using validated instruments to evaluate the programme. Final considerations: The experts shared the characteristics of a counselling programme, allowing it to be built, and discussed the fact that the facilitator should be an EHPSN due to all the competences described by the Order of Nurses and their importance in promoting perinatal mental health in primary healthcare. They emphasized the importance of partnership and complementarity in peer care, particularly with maternal health and child health.
