Costa Rica’s Health Care System and its approach
For 1978 when the concept of Primary Healh Care arises, Costa Rica had already implemented successful strategies in health care, prevention of disease, an early risk approach in rural and urban communities. Therefore, the model was a subject of study for multiple researchers for the following 25 years. People’s health care in communities, led by a renewed Primary Health Care strategy, is re launched by the WHO and begins to prevail near the year 2000. However, the inequalities and disparities accompany the reports of numerous countries which do not achieve the strategy’s objectives. Costa Rica in contrast had prevailed and became a reference in terms of health policies focused on a universal coverage, with a solidary health model, equitable and a complex operation system that articulates different institutions and services to favor the population’s quality of life.

Mental Health Community Nursing
Mental health has become a priority for the WHO and therefore for Costa Rica’s government. In 2012 the Mental Health National Policy was published in Costa Rica to articulate all the inter institutional and inter disciplinary work that had been undergoing in the country. This Program highlights the work of nursing in the promotion of mental health, prevention of mental diseases and disorders, the development of adaptive behaviors for life in different population groups. The experiences allow the students to interact with their academic pairs to develop primary health care strategies. Under the guidance of a mental health nurse, students will develop face to face activities in senior homes, nurseries, associations of people with disabilities, among others. This program allows them to learn skills such as assertive communication, therapeutic communication, implementation of mental assessments, identification of signs and symptoms associated with mental health alterations, among others.
