Keywords:
Psicologia di base; Salute mentale; Cure primarie; ASL Benevento; Modelli di intervento psicologico.Abstract
The Primary Care Psychology Service of the ASL of Benevento, launched in September 2023, represents an innovative model of psychological intervention integrated into primary care. This article examines the first year of operations, showcasing the accomplishments, addressing the challenges encountered, and detailing the strategies put into practice.The data collected, covering 670 users and 4,982 consultations, underscore the importance of a holistic and accessible approach to mental health. Most support requests were related to anxiety-depressive issues (42.84%) and adaptation difficulties (18.81%). However, some critical issues emerged, such as disparities in access across districts, underutilization of the service by male and elderly users, and the need for centralized tools for operational management.
The results highlight how Basic Psychology Service can intercept the psychological distress, promoting psychosocial well-being and offering a model that can be replicated on a national scale.
