Abstract

Descriptive-exploratory study that described the role of the nurse in the adherence to treatment of the person with bipolar affective disorder (BAD), through the survey of records made by students and nurses in their charts, and application of a scale in a community service of mental healthcare. The clinical-qualitative methodology was used, and as collection instrument, a field log. The scale was applied in the first and last contact with five subjects from the country side of Paraná, in a period of one month in 2010. We observed a more significant evolution in adherence to treatment in only one of the patients. The records do not report the conduct of the nursing staff most of the times and they have aspects of organist psychiatry in their description. The nurses must record their interventions and results adequately.
