GIEHL, Vanessa Monigueli e BEDIN, Simone Caldas. Hospital care for the mentally ill subject in cases of suicide attempt: ways and detours. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.1, pp. 150-164. ISSN 1677-1168. http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2020v26n1p147-160.
The objective of this study was to investigate how a subject who attempted suicide apprehends the sequence or suspension of the treatment and the follow-up procedure. It is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, developed with patients referred and referenced by an emergency service for specialized centers (CAPS) of the Health Network, in the city of Santa Cruz do Sul, RS, Brazil. Eleven subjects who attempted suicide were interviewed, averaging the age of 41 years. From the analysis resulted the identification and classification of three categories: the voice that gives meanings to the reality of the act, the follow-up care as a choice and understanding and the suspension of the follow-up as a decision. The feelings reported by the subjects express meanings, intensities and dimensions of the act of attempting to put an end to their lives. The difficulties encountered in the continuity of the treatments pictures the health professionals’ lack of qualification and preparation, both from specialized centers, and, especially from the emergency service.
