Abstract

FREITAS, Ana Paula Araújo de  and  BORGES, Lucienne Martins. Suicide attempts and health professionals: possible meanings. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.2, pp. 560-577. ISSN 1808-4281.

This study, qualitative, aimed to identify the meanings attributed to suicide attempts by health professionals working in emergency rooms and hospital emergencies. Were interviewed sixteen professionals of two urgencies and two hospital emergencies of a city from south Brazil. The results showed the construction of meanings from two poles. The first considers suicide as a condition of suffering that leads to a cozy conduct. The second punctuates the suffering, but do not consider the legitimate demand to the contexts surveyed. Evidenced the need for spaces for discussion of suicide in courses in the area of health and education activities ongoing working clinical management, thus qualifying practice.

Keywords : suicide attempts; health professionals; urgencies; hospital emergencies.
