Abstract
Objective: To describe the participation of the nursing team in the social reintegration of patients with mental disorders. Methods: This is an integrative literature review (ILR), using the LILACS and BDENF databases. Studies published in the last five years, in Portuguese, available in full text and related to the theme were included. Results: After applying the filters, the total of articles found was 47, and 16 were selected. Among the extra-hospital care modalities where it was possible to verify the presence of nursing with greater relevance, the therapeutic residence service and CAPS stand out. Final considerations: Nursing care in out-of-hospital care units constitutes not only the administration of medication and regular consultations, but also the process of social reintegration, carrying out playful activities that induce the autonomy of the individual respecting his or her unique characteristics, investing in decentralized therapeutic proposals of full and equal access for adherence to the proposed treatment and health recovery.
