Abstract

International documents point out the importance of awareness strategies and health and education care for children and adolescents with psychological distress. This study aimed to identify and characterize articles that establish the interface between mental health and education in children and adolescents in both Brazilian and international scientific literature in both national and international scientific literature. The methodology adopted was the bibliometric analysis, and data sources were drawn from databases named Lilacs and Medline. We analyzed 43 articles published between 1968 and 2014. The results indicated that the current decade brings together most of the studies, and the international character of regulations in the field of education and mental health may have stimulated this research agenda. With a predominance of quantitative approaches, the articles were published by researchers of the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. These studies contribute to an interdisciplinary discussion on the topic of health and education of children and adolescents in psychological distress.
