Castro, Sueli Aparecida de 04 August 2009 (has links)
Introdução: A Lei nº. 10.216 redireciona o modelo assistencial em saúde mental, enfatizando a convivência comunitária e a atenção extra-hospitalar para portadores de distúrbio mental. No entanto, o Brasil enfrenta um grande desafio na consolidação da reforma psiquiátrica, a qual difunde-se nos discursos, porém as ações de implementação não acontecem na mesma proporção. Constata-se em Ribeirão Preto, o número insuficiente de serviços comunitários, além da fragilidade dos vínculos de integração do usuário com estes serviços. Esses fatos acabam refletindo nas taxas de internações e reinternações psiquiátricas. Objetivos: Identificar o perfil sociodemográfico e as condições clínicas das reinternações psiquiátricas no período de janeiro de 2006 a dezembro de 2007 no Hospital Santa Tereza, buscando-se associação entre estas variáveis. Metodologia: Para a coleta dos dados foi criado um instrumento \"Levantamento de reinternações psiquiátricas; em seguida foram examinados os prontuários de reinternações, utilizando-se o relatório anual de movimentação dos pacientes. Foi construído um banco de dados com todas as variáveis presentes no instrumento de coleta de dados. Resultados e discussão: Dos 2.025 prontuários encontrou-se 681 pacientes reinternados, sendo a maioria proveniente da DRS XIII, branca, entre 40 e 49 anos, masculino, solteiros e nível fundamental incompleto. A maioria das reinternações foi motivada pelo abandono do tratamento isolada ou associada a outras causas e com internações anteriores de 1 a 4 vezes, em outros hospitais psiquiátricos. Os diagnósticos prevalentes foram esquizofrenia, transtorno afetivo bipolar, transtornos mentais e comportamentais devido ao uso de álcool, transtornos específicos da personalidade. O estado físico foi bom, na admissão e na alta. Quanto ao estado mental observouse que 85% dos pacientes que entram calmos preservaram este estado. Os tratamentos predominantes foram o farmacológico e o psicológico. A idade do início da doença nos homens (32 anos) é maior do que as mulheres (18 anos) (P=0,0011). O tempo de permanência na internação hospitalar é maior para as mulheres do que para os homens, na faixa dos 40 aos 49 anos (T>t=0,032). Conclusões: Este estudo possibilitou conhecer as características sociodemográficas e clínicas dos pacientes reinternados no Hospital Santa Tereza de Ribeirão Preto. Confirmou-se que o fluxo de atendimento está de acordo com os princípios de regionalização e hierarquização preconizados pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. A proveniência da maioria das reinternações foi de Ribeirão Preto e a maior proporção dos pacientes já havia sido internada em outros hospitais psiquiátricos. Encontrou-se correlação positiva entre sexo e algumas variáveis, como idade, escolaridade, estado civil, motivo da internação, estado físico na admissão, internações anteriores em outros hospitais psiquiátricos, tipo de alta, tratamento durante a internação e estado físico na alta, bem como com a idade. O estado mental na alta correlacionou-se com a idade dos pacientes reinternados. / Introduction: Law number 10.216 gives a new direction to the mental health care model, emphasizing on community living and extra-hospital care for people with mental disorders. However, Brazil is facing a great challenge to consolidate the psychiatric reform, which is broadly discussed, but effective actions do not follow the same rate. In Ribeirao Preto there are insufficient community services. As a consequence, there is an effect on psychiatric hospitalizations and rehospitalizations. Objectives: to identify the sociodemographic profile and the clinical conditions of psychiatric patients that were rehospitalized from January 2006 to December 2007 in the Santa Tereza Hospital, seeking an association between these variables. Methodology: the data was collected using a tool created specifically for this means, named \"A survey of psychiatric rehospitalizations\". Next, the records of patients who were hospitalized were analyzed according to the annual patient flow report. A data bank was created, comprising all the variables from the data collection instrument. Results and discussion: It was found that 681 of the 2,025 patient records referred to re-hospitalized patients, most of whom had been referred from the DRS XIII Regional Health Directory, were white, between 40 and 49 years old, male, single, and had incomplete primary education. Most rehospitalizations were due to the patients dropout exclusively or in association with other causes and with previous hospitalizations occurring between 1 and 4 times in other psychiatric hospitals. The prevalent diagnoses were: schizophrenia, bipolar affective psychosis, mental and behavior disorders due to the use of alcohol, and specific personality disorders. The patients physical condition was good at both admission and discharge. As for the patients mental condition, it was observed that 85% of the patients who enter calmly remain that way. The predominant treatments were pharmacological and psychological. The age of onset in men (32 years) is higher than that in women (18 years) (P=0.0011). The length of stay is higher among women compared to men, for the age range 40 to 49 years (T>t=0.032). Conclusions: This study made it possible to learn about the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients who were rehospitalized in the Santa Tereza Hospital in Ribeirão Preto. It was confirmed that the service flow is in accordance with the principles of regionalization and hierarchization recommended by the Unified Health System. Most rehospitalized patients lived in Ribeirão Preto and most had already been hospitalized in other psychiatric hospitals. A positive correlation was found between gender and other variables, such as age, education level, marital status, reason for hospitalization, physical condition at admission, previous hospitalizations, type of discharge, treatment during hospitalization, and physical condition at discharge, as well as age. The patients mental condition at the moment of discharge was correlated with the age of rehospitalized patients.

O sentido de ser internado em hospital psiquiátrico à luz da fenomenologia de Heidegger / Meaning of being hospitalized in psychiatric hospital by the Light of Heideggers phenomenology

Furlan, Marcela Martins 24 October 2008 (has links)
O campo da Saúde Mental no Brasil tem se voltado para a construção de serviços comunitários de atenção psiquiátrica, pautados nos preceitos da Reforma Psiquiátrica, como possibilidade de substituir a lógica asilar pelo resgate das habilidades sóciorelacionais do doente mental, a partir da reabilitação psicossocial, sob a abordagem interdisciplinar. Entretanto, a experiência em psiquiatria mostra que o doente mental mantém-se transitando entre o serviço comunitário e o hospital psiquiátrico, sendo alvo, ainda hoje, da disciplinarização, violência e privação impostas pela instituição hospitalar. Neste sentido, constituiu objetivo deste estudo apreender o sentido de ser internado em hospital psiquiátrico, a partir do sujeito que vivenciou a experiência da internação. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, o estudo recorreu ao referencial teóricofilosófico da ontologia fundamental de Martin Heidegger. Participaram da pesquisa quatro sujeitos portadores de transtornos mentais regularmente matriculados em um centro de atenção psicossocial no interior do estado de São Paulo, que aceitaram discorrer sobre a vivência da internação psiquiátrica, como se mostrou a eles, por meio de entrevista semi-dirigida gravada. Para tal, os sujeitos foram convidados a rememorar a experiência de ser internado em hospital psiquiátrico e tecer significações a respeito. A partir da apropriação de elementos do referencial heideggeriano, foi empreendida a Analítica Existencial, que gerou a construção dos Núcleos do Sentido: (a) A mostração do ser-aí no ser-doente-mental; (b) O modo de ser-no-mundo do ser-doente-mental e (c) Ser-no-mundo-cuidado na impessoalidade. Estes núcleos permitiram que a verdade do ser-doente-mental fosse desvelada a partir dele próprio, mediante o entendimento da estrutura do ser-aí (Dasein) proposta por Heidegger, mostrada pelo modo de ocupar-se da internação psiquiátrica. Ao emergir o ser-cuidado-no-mundo-com-o-outro, foi possível delinear o sentido de ser internado em hospital psiquiátrico, cerne da compreensão ontológica da vivência da internação psiquiátrica. / Brazilian Mental Health field has being conducted to building community psychiatric attention services, as possibility to substitute manicomial thinking for rescue of mental patients social-relational abilities, through psicossocial rehabilitee, by interdisciplinary approach. However, psychiatric experience show us that mental patient has kept himself passing through community services and psychiatric hospital, being marked, until today, by disciplinarization, violence and privation forced by hospitable institution. By this meaning, the studys objective was apprehending the meaning of being hospitalized at psychiatric hospital, passing through person that has lived the hospitalizations experience. To reach the objective proposed, the study made use of fundamental ontology of Martin Heidegger theory-philosophic referential. Took part in the search four people that have mental disease, regularly registered in a psicossocial attention service in interior of São Paulo, that accepted talk about psychiatric hospitalization live, like it showed to them, through a semi directed interview that was registered by recorder. For that, people were invited to remember the experience of being hospitalized at psychiatric hospital and weave meanings about that. Through elements by heideggerian referential appropriating, it was applied Existential Analytics, that generated the construction of Meanings Nucleus: (a) Being there showing through mental-patient-being; (b) being-in-world way of mental-patient-being, and (c) Beingcare- in-world by impersonality. These nucleuses revealed the truth of mental-patientbeing by himself, passing by the thinking about Being There structure proposed by Heidegger, that was showed in the way of devote oneself to psychiatric hospitalization. To emerge being-care-in-world-with-other, it was possible to define the meaning of being hospitalized at psychiatric hospital, focal point of ontological comprehension about psychiatric hospitalization live.

Emoção expressa em cuidadores de pessoas com transtorno mental: influência do estresse, do estilo de vida e do sofrimento mental / Expre s sed emotion in care rs of people with mental disorde rs : role of stress, lifestyle and mental suffering

Araujo, Angélica da Silva 31 May 2016 (has links)
A Emoção Expressa (EE) é um conceito referente à qualidade das relações familiares e pode ser considerada como um traço ou como um estado das interações, caracterizada por três dimensões: comentários críticos (CC), hostilidade e superenvolvimento emocional (SEE). Obje tivos: avaliar e descrever o nível de EE entre cuidadores de pessoas com transtorno mental e sua associação com variáveis sociodemográficas, estresse precoce, sintomas se estresse, estilo de vida e sofrimento mental. Método: estudo com abordagem quantitativa, epidemiológico, corte transversal e caráter correlacional. Participaram 112 familiares cuidadores de pessoas com transtorno mental admitidas para internação em um hospital psiquiátrico no interior do Estado de São Paulo. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Questionário sociodemográfico, de condições ocupacionais e de saúde; Questionário Familiar; Questionário sobre Traumas na Infância; Inventário de Sintomas de Estresse para Adultos de LIPP; Questionário Estilo de Vida Fantástico; Self-Reporting Questionnaire 20. A análise da confiabilidade e da consistência interna das escalas foi feita por meio do cálculo do coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach. Seguiu-se as análises estatísticas descritivas (cálculo das frequências, médias e desvio-padrão das respostas dos cuidadores aos instrumentos), bivariadas (para verificar a associação entre as variáveis, por meio dos testes Qui -Quadrado de Pearson, Exato de Fisher e Mann-Whitney) e de regressão logística, utilizando-se o programa SPSS versão 22.0. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5% (alfa <= 0,05). Todas as questões éticas foram respeitadas. Re sultados : a maioria dos cuidadores de pessoas com transtornos mentais em início de internação foi avaliada com altos níveis de EE (tanto global quanto nos domínios CC e SEE), com presença de estresse precoce, com presença de sintomas de estresse e com presença de sofrimento mental. Quanto ao estilo de vida, a maioria foi avaliada com estilo de vida bom ou muito bom. A EE no domínio SEE apresentou associação estatisticamente significativa com as variáveis uso frequente de medicamentos, estresse precoce, fase do estresse e sofrimento mental . Foram identificados como fatores de proteção para alta EE no domínio CC o ensino fundamental e a renda familiar. Já a idade foi fator de risco para alta EE no domínio CC. Já para alta EE no domínio SEE, o estresse precoce e o sofrimento mental foram fatores de risco. Conclusõe s : este estudo possibilitou avaliar importantes aspectos que podem influenciar a qualidade das relações entre cuidador e pessoa com transtorno mental. Emoção Expressa, estresse precoce, sintomas de estresse e sofrimento mental destacam- se como fenômenos relevantes ao planejamento do cuidado à familiares cuidadores de pessoas com transtornos mentais. Dada a complexidade desse fenômeno, são necessários estudos ampliados que abordem características tanto dos famil iares quanto dos pacientes e do ambiente, em diversos momentos, tais como na internação, após a alta e ao longo dos tratamentos extra hospitalares / Emotion Express (EE) is a concept referring to the quality of family relationships and can be considered as a stroke or as a state of the interactions, characterized by three dimensions: critical comments (CC), hostility and emotional overinvolvement (EOI). Objectives: to evaluate and describe the EE level among caregivers of people with mental disorders and their association with sociodemographic variables, early stress symptoms stress, lifestyle and mental suffering. Method: study of quantitative epidemiological approach, cross-sectional and correlational character. Participated 112 family caregivers of people with mental illness admitted to hospital in a psychiatric hospital in the state of São Paulo. The instruments used were: sociodemographic questionnaire, occupational and health conditions; Family Questionnaire; Questionnaire on Trauma in Childhood; Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults Lipp; Fantastic Lifestyle Questionnaire; Self-Reporting Questionnaire 20. The analysis of reliability and internal consistency of the scales was done by calculating Cronbach\'s alpha coefficient. Descriptive statistical analysis was followed (calculation of frequencies, means and standard deviations of the responses of caregivers instruments), bivariate (to verify the association between variables, using the chi -square tests of Pearson, Fisher exact and Mann Whitney) and logistic regression using SPSS version 22.0. The significance level was 5% (alpha <= 0.05). All ethical issues have been met. Results: most of the carers of people with mental disorders in early hospitalization was evaluated with high levels of EE (both globally and in the CC and EOI domains), with the presence of early stress, with the presence of stress symptoms and the presence of suffering mental. As for the lifestyle, most were evaluated with style good or very good life. EE in the EOI domain showed a statistically significant association with the variables frequent medicines use, early stress, stress phase and mental suffering. They were identified as EE for high protection factors in the CC domain elementary school and family income. In contrast, age was a risk factor for high EE in the CC domain. As for high EE in the EOI domain, early stress and mental suffering were risk factors. Conclus ions : this study evaluates important aspects that can influence the quality of the relationship between caregiver and person with mental disorder. Expressed Emotion, early stress, stress symptoms and mental suffering stand out as phenomena relevant to the planning of care for family caregivers of people with mental disorders. Given the complexity of this phenomenon, we need expanded studies that address characteristics of both relatives and patients and the environment, at various times, such as in hospital after discharge and over the extra hospital treatment

A 12-Month Comparison of Medication Adherence, Combination Therapies, Psychiatric Hospitalization Rates and Cost of Care in Patients with Schizophrenia on Clozapine versus Quetiapine in an Outpatient Mental Health Treatment Facility

Bahraini, Zhinus, Baqseh, Aftehar, Quah, Bee-Chin January 2007 (has links)
Class of 2007 Abstract / Objectives: This 12-month retrospective, naturalistic study determined medication adherence, psychiatric hospitalizations, cost of services, cost of prescriptions, and rates of polypharmacy (less than 4 versus greater than or equal to 4 concomitant psychotropic medications) for patients receiving clozapine versus quetiapine therapy for the treatment of schizophrenia in an outpatient mental health facility. Methods: The clozapine and quetiapine groups were compared for gender, age, medication adherence rates, hospitalizations, cost of care, polypharmacy, and types of concomitant psychotropic medications over 12-months. The polypharmacy groups for clozapine and quetiapine (e.g., greater than or equal to 4 psychotropic medications versus less than 4 psychotropic medications) were compared for medication adherence. Results: A total of 71 patients met the entry criteria (44 = clozapine and 27 = quetiapine). The two groups were similar for age, gender, court order, average daily dose, and hospitalization rates. The clozapine group had a higher medication adherence rate of 0.901 (e.g., 329 days supply) compared to the quetiapine group’s adherence rate of 0.723 (e.g., 264 days supply) (p=0.007). The clozapine group had higher costs for medication, labs, and other services compared to the quetiapine group, as well as total costs of services (p=0.004). The clozapine group was on fewer concomitant psychotropic medications compared to the quetiapine group based on the rates of polypharmacy. Conclusions: Patient on clozapine therapy had improved medication adherence and lower rates of polypharmacy, but higher costs of care compared to quetiapine. The frequent monitoring required with clozapine may result in medication adherence that results in improved efficacy, less polypharmacy, and lower hospitalization rates. Further studies in larger populations are needed to compare different frequency rates of monitoring patients on outcome measures over a longer period of treatment.

The Effectiveness of Psychotherapy for Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders in Community Residential Settings

Beulke, Joshua Thomas 01 January 2016 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of psychotherapy for individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorders who reside in community residential settings. The present body of literature did not address the utility of psychotherapy treatment for this population. A key area of focus for this research was whether psychotherapy has an impact on psychiatric hospitalization rates for the target population. An additional research question was whether significant differences exist in psychiatric hospitalization rates between males and females for the target population. Data analyses were conducted using archival data from the Blossom Hill Corporation and Sunrise Farm Corporation in the State of Minnesota. Research questions were analyzed with a 2x2 factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results indicated no significant differences in hospitalization rates for individuals in the target population who received psychotherapy (n = 60) compared to those who did not (n = 76). Hospitalization rates also did not differ between gender in psychotherapy treatment response for individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorders in community residential settings. This study has implications for social change because it informs community residential providers in Minnesota serving individuals in the target population about the impact of psychotherapy on reducing psychiatric hospitalizations. Social change is further affected by providing data about how psychotherapy and theory can be used to better treat and understand the target population's mental health stability.

Do tratamento psicanalítico das psicoses em enfermaria psiquiátrica pública / The psychoanalytic treatment of psychosis in public psychiatric infirmary

Lorenna Figueiredo de Souza 08 October 2014 (has links)
Essa dissertação parte da experiência de trabalho em uma enfermaria psiquiátrica pública para investigar o tratamento psicanalítico das psicoses em dispositivo de internação. Para tal, faz um percurso sobre a função da internação psiquiátrica no contexto da reforma psiquiátrica brasileira, apresentando como a enfermaria do Centro Psiquiátrico Rio de Janeiro procura se organizar de acordo com o paradigma da atenção psicossocial. Segue indicando como a presença do psicanalista nesse serviço significa a introdução de uma nova lógica de abordagem da psicose, a lógica do inconsciente, apresentando como Freud e Lacan tomaram as psicoses a partir dessa lógica. Através de dois casos clínicos, discute-se como os elementos da clínica psicanalítica das psicoses podem ser abordados a partir do tratamento em um serviço de internação. Aponta como o tratamento em questão é fundamentalmente tratamento pelo discurso analítico, que toma o sujeito de uma forma radicalmente nova, ao convidá-lo a historicizar seu sofrimento, trazendo os significantes fundamentais de sua história. Aproximamos o trabalho do psicanalista em enfermaria do momento do início do tratamento, abordado por Lacan através das entrevistas preliminares. Isso significa acolher a fala do psicótico, instalando-se como secretário do alienado, condição necessária ao tratamento das psicoses. Isso possibilita que aquela fala passe de um testemunho singular de sua relação com a linguagem para alguma demanda de tratamento, o que ocorrerá caso ele encontre lugar no campo do Outro para sua fala, a partir da escuta do analista. Dessa forma, esse tempo inicial do tratamento pode se desdobrar em uma psicanálise. Entretanto, esse efeito não pode ser tomado como um ideal, sob risco de apagamento do sujeito em questão / This dissertation takes the experience in a public psychiatric infirmary to investigate the psychoanalytic treatment of psychosis in hospitalized device. To do this, it makes a path about the function of psychiatric hospitalization in the context of Brazilian psychiatric reform, presenting how the infirmary of Centro Psiquiátrico Rio de Janeiro seeks to organize itself accordingly to the psychosocial care paradigm. Indicates how the presence of the psychoanalyst in this service means the introduction of a new logic of psychosis approach, the logic of the unconscious, presenting how Freud and Lacan took the psychoses from this logic. Through two clinical cases, we discuss how the elements of psychoanalytic clinic of psychosis can be approached from treatment in a hospital service. We point how the treatment in question is fundamentally treatment by analytical discourse, which considers the subject of a radically new way, in inviting him to historicize his suffering, bringing fundamental signifiers of his history. We approach the work of the psychoanalyst in the infirmary as the beginning of treatment, developed by Lacan through the idea of preliminary interviews. This means listening to the speech of psychotic, establishing the psychoanalyst as secretary of alienated, necessary condition to treat psychosis. This allows that the speech of the psychotic passes from a singular testimony of his relationship with language for some demand for treatment, what will happen if he finds place in the Other to his speech, from the listening of the analyst. Thus, this initial treatment time can become a psychoanalysis. However, this effect cannot be taken as an ideal, at risk of erasure of the subject in question
