Validation of the Continuing Health Education Policy logical model in the Psychosocial Care Centers

The study aims to describe the valida-tion process of the Continuing Health Education Policy (PEPS) logical model in the Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) in Barreiras, Bahia, Brazil. In two rounds, this evaluability study on specia-lists distributed in the health training four-square model, including management, education/rese-arch, service, and social control, was conducted through the Delphi consensus technique. The items were consensual when they reached more than 80% of agreement among the participants, confirmed by the analysis of the median and the interval between the first and the third quarti-les. The results reflect the validated logical model content in five technical components: Planning, Political Articulation, Coordination, Technical Qualification, and Live Work in Care Production. The structure and processes required to carry out the EPS actions at the CAPS and the expected re-sults in the short, medium, and long terms were described in the logical model. Validating the ope-rational aspect of the intervention contributes to organizing and adopting operability and fertility criteria in a formative assessment that aims to strengthen the practices of an educational policy in mental health toward comprehensive care.
