| description | Abstract Objective This article aimed to understand the benefits of mother-infant joint accommodation in psychiatric inpatient units. Method To achieve this, a narrative literature review was conducted based on publications from the Lilacs, PubMed/Medline, and SciELO databases. The descriptors used were “Mother-child relationship,” “Mother-baby unit,” and “Psychiatry”. Only full-text, freely available texts published since 2001 were considered. Literature selection was done through content analysis, with inclusion criteria focusing on publications that addressed the study’s guiding question. Results Based on the obtained data, it is concluded that mother-infant joint accommodation is an alternative treatment when hospitalization is necessary in a psychiatric unit. This approach leads to faster recovery without disrupting the mother-infant relationship, which benefits this bond. Conclusion Although no publications were found regarding the Brazilian experience, international studies, including those in public hospitals, reveal positive outcomes in maternal recovery and reduced rehospitalization rates. |
