| Resumo: | Suicide has been seen as a public health problem worldwide, due to the growing number of
cases, especially among young people. In Brazil, especially in the interior of Rio Grande do
Norte, it has not been different, especially the municipality of Caicó. The objective of this
work was to analyze the suicide cases, from 2000 to 2015, and to characterize the
psychosocial care network in the Seridó / RN region, supporting a proposal to prevent new
suicide cases. To this end, we selected the cases of suicide treated by ITEP / RN-Caicó, from
January 2000 to December 2015, in which the death occurred due to suicide. Statistical
analysis used measures of central tendency, including: mean and standard deviation, as well
as their individual absolute frequencies for each item evaluated. The present study totaled 397
suicide cases. Caicó and Currais Novos have a higher frequency of absolute cases. Males
correspond to 82.1% of cases. The average age was calculated at 43.7 years (standard
deviation ± 18.9). The main ethnicity found was white, and single people totaled 48%.
Farmers account for the majority of suicide cases (30.2%), followed by retirees, housewives
and students. The psychosocial care network in the Seridó Region has several shortcomings,
including lack of psychiatric beds in the main regional hospitals in the cities of Caicó and
Currais Novos, failure in formal communication for patient flow and lack of matriculation
with primary care. Some interventions are proposed, such as the creation and implementation
of a high-risk suicide case flowchart in regional hospitals, continuous continuing education
for the entire RAPS, instrumentalization of compulsory notification of suicide attempts at
RAPS, strengthening of matrix support, identification and training. Risk case screening by
primary care. It is known that the epidemiological profile of suicide is intrinsic to each region
studied, due to several factors. For the region of Seridó Potiguar, and especially the
municipality of Caicó, lack of care, coupled with the lack of preparation of professionals,
specialized services and primary care, appear as important factors to be considered and that
may influence the number of these occurrences. Further studies are needed, especially in the
Seridó region's farmer class and that master's data can support regional public policies in
suicide prevention. |
