Diante do expressivo número de Hospitais Psiquiátricos no Estado de São Paulo, que continuam presentes no atendimento das pessoas com transtornos mentais mesmo frente à política de desinstitucionalização e a priorização do atendimento nos serviços substitutivos, surge a questão se os profissionais que trabalham neles conhecem e discutem o conceito de reabilitação psicossocial e como trabalham no contexto da Reforma Psiquiátrica. Este estudo objetivou analisar as possibilidades e impossibilidades de se implantar estratégias de reabilitação psicossocial em hospitais psiquiátricos, foi escolhido como objeto as representações que os trabalhadores têm sobre a reabilitação psicossocial e como categorias analíticas, as representações sociais e o processo de trabalho em saúde. Os dados foram coletados no período entre novembro e dezembro de 2011, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com questões norteadoras, junto a dezoito trabalhadores dos lares abrigados em um hospital psiquiátrico no Município de São Paulo. Após a transcrição das falas, os dados foram analisados conforme a metodologia de análise temática. A análise dos discursos dos entrevistados revelou temas que por aproximação configuraram a categoria Processo de Trabalho: Os temas que formaram esta categoria foram: o agente, instrumentos, objeto, finalidade e as dificuldades e facilidades do processo de trabalho. Também foram encontrados temas que por aproximação configuraram a categoria Processo de Reabilitação Psicossocial: objeto, instrumentos e finalidade do processo de reabilitação psicossocial. A categoria representações sociais possibilitou compreender a concepção dos trabalhadores sobre a reabilitação psicossocial; sendo sua finalidade independência, aumento do poder contratual, resgate da cidadania e dos direitos: de morar, trabalhar e reestabelecer laços sociais. A categoria analítica processo de trabalho desvelou o próprio processo de trabalho da equipe e o processo de reabilitar; os discursos apresentaram contradições em que coexistem as concepções embasadas no modelo da psiquiatria tradicional e concepções coerentes com as da reabilitação psicossocial. O que limita as possibilidades de reabilitação é: a precariedade da rede de saúde mental em São Paulo, escassez de recursos humanos e materiais, resistência por parte das famílias. As possibilidades ocorrem pela superação das práticas centradas na doença para práticas centradas nas necessidades materiais e psicossociais da pessoa. Os trabalhadores compreendem o hospital psiquiátrico como local de zero troca, reiterando vasta literatura sobre o tema, por isso, a finalidade do processo de trabalho é a alta do morador. Pode-se dizer que o trabalho nos lares abrigados proporciona a desospitalização do paciente e uma permanência com possibilidade de vida mais digna do que em enfermarias, pois tem a possibilidade de habitar e não simplesmente estar. Entretanto, é importante salientar que os moradores continuam sob o poder do hospital psiquiátrico e da equipe, limitados às normas institucionais, menos rígidas em relação às das enfermarias, mas ainda presentes, o que a análise revelou ser entendido pelos trabalhadores, evidenciando uma superação em relação à concepção do hospital como protetor ou local para tratar a crise. / Facing the expressive number of psychiatric hospitals in the state of São Paulo, which are still present in the assistance of people with mental disorders even facing the politics of desinstitutionalization and the prioritization in the assistance of substitutive services, arises the question whether the professional who works in them know and discuss the concept of psychosocial rehabilitation and how they work in the context of Psychiatric Reform. This study aimed in analyzing the impossibilities of implanting strategies of psychosocial rehabilitation in psychiatric hospitals, it was chosen as object the social representations in which workers have about the psychosocial rehabilitation and as analytical categories the social representations and in health work process. The data were collected between the periods from November to December of 2011, by means of semi-structured interviews with leading questions, with eighteen workers from shelters in a psychiatric hospital in the city of São Paulo. After the voices transcriptions, the data were analyzed following the methodology of thematics analysis. The analysis of the interviewed people have revealed themes that per approaching set the category Process of Work: the themes which have formed this category were : the agent, the instruments, objects, purpose and the difficulties and facilities in the process of work. There were also found themes that per approaching set the category Process in Psychosocial Rehabilitation: object, instruments and purpose in the process of psychosocial rehabilitation. The category social representations have allowed to make it understood the conception of workers about the psychosocial rehabilitation, being its purpose the independency, increase of contractual power, rescue of citizenship and the rights: of living, working and reestablish social bonds. The analytical category process of work unveiled the own team process of work and the process of rehabilitate; the discourses have shown contradictions where there is the coexistence the conceptions based on the model of traditional psychiatry and conceptions consistent with the psychosocial rehabilitation one. What limits the possibilities of rehabilitation are: the precariousness in the mental health of public services in São Paulo, lack of human resources and materials, resistance from part of the families. The possibilities are given in the overcoming of practices centered in the disease for centered practices in the persons material and psychosocial necessities. The workers comprehend the psychiatric hospital as a place of zero Exchange, reiterating wide literature about the theme, thats why the purpose in the work process is the cure of the inhabitant. We could say that the work in the shelters allows the patient not to be in the hospital any longer with the chance of a healthier life than in the nursing, because there is the chance of living and not simply being. However, it is important to mention that the inhabitants keep under the control of the psychiatric hospital and its staff, being limited to the institutional, less strict when comparing to the nursing ones, but yet present, the analysis have shown it was understood by the workers making it evident an overcoming in relation to the concept of the hospital as a protector or a place to treat the crisis.

In Oregon, "Incompetent to Stand Trial (1ST) Patients" were observed to be increasing in number, remaining in the hospital longer, and costing more to treat. A study was designed to investigate variables that could be used to predict their length of stay at Oregon State Hospital. Data for thirteen independent variables (gender, age, having an Axis I psychosis level diagnosis, having an Axis I substance-related diagnosis, having an Axis II personality disorder diagnosis, evidence of involuntary medications, being on atypical medications at discharge, number of seclusion and restraint events, number of felony charges, number of misdemeanor charges, and number of inter-ward transfers) and one dependent variable (length of stay) were analyzed for 198 1ST patients discharged from Oregon State Hospital between January, 1999 and December, 2001. Bivariate correlations for all variables, and length of stay (LOS) means for all levels of each variable were examined and discussed. A standard multiple regression analysis was performed. The regression model accounted for 36.5% (32.7% adjusted) of the variability in (log) LOS. R for regression was found to be significantly different from zero. Five variables were found to be significant contributors to explaining the variability in (log) LOS: (square root) number of inter-ward transfers (16%), gender (5.8%), evidence of involuntary medications (5.2%), (square root) number of felony charges (2.8%), and (square root) number of seclusion and restraint events (1.6%). Despite accounting for more variability in LOS than several previous studies with psychiatric patients, 67.3% of the variability was unaccounted for by the regression model. Unstandardized regression coefficients for untransformed variables were interpreted, revealing that gender, number of inter-ward transfers, and evidence of involuntary medications significantly predicted the largest increases in LOS. Recommendations were made for further research related to LOS of 1ST patients. / Graduation date: 2003

This thesis aimed to explore systematic health service problems that are related to frequent readmission of persons suffering from severe mental illnesses to Valkenberg Hospital. Reduction of acute and chronic beds in the Associated Psychiatric Hospitals, Western Cape over the past decade has led to increasing pressure for beds and rapid inpatient turnover, many of these inpatients being &quot / revolving door&quot / patients. Integration of mental health service into general health services, an intrinsic part of the comprehensive primary health care approach in South Africa, is supposed to make mental health care more accessible the public, therefore research into why patients are being frequently readmitted at secondary specialist level is indicated.

Orientador: Carlos Magno Castelo Branco Fortaleza / Resumo: Illicit drug users (IDUs) are recognized as a group at particular risk for staphylococci. In this population the first outbreak of community-associated Staphylococcus aureus (CAMRSA) was described. However, most studies relating S. aureus and MRSA to drug abuse address users of intravenous substances. In Brazil, most dependents are users of inhaled drugs, especially crack. A proportion of these IDUs have multiple passages through recovery clinics. Another institutionalized group still relevant in Brazil are patients with long-term hospitalizations in psychiatric hospitals. In spite of the psychiatric reform and its emphasis on deinstitutionalization, aspects of social vulnerability and abandonment by relatives also determine the residence of patients in psychiatric hospitals. The two groups described above are exposed to different epidemiological pressures and are both at higher risk of invasive staphylococcal disease and in a strategic position for maintenance and dissemination of isolates. The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence and predictors of the carrying of S. aureus and MRSA in IDUs admitted to the Hospital of Reference for Alcohol and Drugs (SARAD) and patients residing in the Psychiatric Hospital Cantídio de Moura Campos, both located in Botucatu , São Paulo State, Brazil. Molecular characterization of MRSA isolates was performed. A total of 220 subjects were enrolled, 138 from the SARAD and 82 from the psychiatric hospital. The prevalences of S. ...

Nessa população foi descrito o primeiro surto de Staphylococcus aureus associados à comunidade (CA-MRSA). No entanto, a maior parte dos estudos relacionando S. aureus e MRSA a drogadição aborda usuários de substâncias endovenosas. No Brasil, a maior parte de dependentes é usuário de drogas inalatórias, especialmente o crack. Uma parcela destes dependentes tem múltiplas passagens por clínicas de recuperação. Um outro grupo institucionalizado ainda relevante no Brasil são os pacientes com internações de longa permanência em hospitais psiquiátricos. A despeito da reforma psiquiátrica e sua ênfase na desinstitucionalização, aspectos de vulnerabilidade social e abandono por familiares determinam ainda a residência de pacientes em hospitais psiquiátricos. Os dois grupos descritos acima são expostos a diferentes pressões epidemiológicas e estão tanto em maior risco de doença estafilocóccica invasiva quanto em posição estratégica para manutenção e disseminação de isolados. Este estudo teve por por objetivo identificar a prevalência e fatores preditores do carreamento de S. aureus e MRSA em UDI internados no Serviço Hospitalar de Referência de Álcool e Drogas (SARAD) e pacientes residentes no Hospital Psiquiátrico Cantídio de Moura Campos, ambos localizados em Botucatu, SP. Caracterização molecular de isolados de MRSA foi realizada. Foram estuados 220 sujeitos, 138 do SARAD e 82 do ho... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre
