estado da arte
Palabras clave:
Luto, Transtorno de luto prolongado, Avaliação psicológica, Intervenção psicológicaResumen
O luto é uma reação normal e esperada diante de uma perda, porém, é pouco abordado na formação profissional em saúde. Há uma predominância de estudos sobre o tema no contexto internacional, o qual carece de publicações em língua portuguesa. Este artigo revisa o estado da arte atual do conhecimento sobre o tema, focando na avaliação psicológica e intervenções terapêuticas eficazes. Foram consultadas diversas bases acadêmicas, como Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Scientific Electronic Library Online e PubMed, além de livros da área. Os resultados descrevem modelos teóricos, diagnósticos prevalentes na população enlutada, como o transtorno de luto prolongado, saúde mental dos enlutados e intervenções terapêuticas. Revela-se uma escassez de estudos no contexto brasileiro, ressaltando os principais achados e limitações de pesquisa nos temas discutidos.
