Attitude, Beliefs, Prejudice, Drugs abuse, Health ServiceAbstract
Objectives: the abusive use and dependence of alcohol and other drugs is very common among communities and seen as a public health problem, which requires care and treatment; thus, this systematic review aims to analyze scientific publications regarding stigmatizing attitudes, beliefs and behaviors by health professionals vis-à-vis users of psychoactive substances, who seek for care in health services. Methodology: During the month of May 2018, a bibliographic search was carried out in the databases of SciELO, LILACS, Pubmed, PsycINFO and Pepsic, which generated a total of 35 articles that corresponded to the inclusion criteria. Results: it is possible to observe that, although professionals are aware of their role in patient care and that sometimes they have a predisposition to attend them, negative attitudes and beliefs prevail, due to fear, low
interest, prejudice, impatience and lack of knowledge about the problem, evidenced in the behaviors of these professionals.
Therefore, it is pointed out the need to promote discussions and new reflections, which must be carried out jointly with the professionals, with the objective of developing strategies to reduce negative attitudes and stigma, which must be worked on from the training.
