Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To describe the contexts of care transition for individuals with mental disorders in the Brazilian setting.
METHODS
A contextual analysis was conducted through a scoping review. The search for studies was conducted in databases and thesis and dissertation portals, and the analysis was based on immediate, specific, general, and meta-contexts.
RESULTS
The sample, consisting of eight studies, indicated that the following factors are present in the contexts where care transition occurs: Peculiarities of care transition for individuals with mental disorders; Perspectives that can strengthen or weaken this transition; Approaches proposed in the past for the development of care transition; and Elements related to Brazilian legislation.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
It is observed that the transition of care for individuals with mental disorders in Brazil takes place in various contexts of care levels. These variations present significant potentials and barriers in the care scenarios.
