Uma prisão ou uma saída? Percepções de pacientes hospitalizados por ideação ou tentativa de suicídio.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the meanings produced by hospital internment, after ideation and / or suicide attempt, for patients from a CAPS II of a city in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. To investigate this context, semi-structured volunteer interviews were conducted with 9 patients from a CAPS II, who already had experience of hospital admission for the risk or attempt of suicide in the last 05 years and who were in the process of discharge of the psychological care. The content analysis was used with the purpose of deepening the considerations on the proposed themes. Through the interviews conducted for the elaboration of this research, we observed several aspects regarding the perception of the subjects in the face of their hospitalization experiences. In view of this, we can highlight the main results of the research, which refer to the lack of autonomy of the interviewees during hospitalization, the importance and effectiveness of the hospitalization and the ambivalent feelings about it, the importance of the health team and the different feelings produced from this experience.
