There was the objective of analyzing the social and demographical profile of a group of crack users assisted by health services and social network of support. Descriptive exploratory study with quantitative approach, carried out in the city of Fortaleza-CE. The results indicate 92,5% male people, with ages from 30 to 39 years old (50%), who reside with relatives (59%), complete high school (37,5%). It was enabled the deconstruction of socially set out stereotypes about the life perspective of those people. Erroneous conceptions about crack users can lead to mistaken interventions, requiring deeper studies about the same.
The study aimed to analyze the clinical aspects of the treatment of crack cocaine and excessive alcohol users who were seen in a Psychosocial Care Center of Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAPS AD) in Sobral, Ceará, during the years 2010 and 2011. This is an exploratory descriptive and documentary study, with a retrospective quantitative approach. The sample was composed of 567 medical records of drug users, from which 291 were crack cocaine users, and 276 were alcohol users. For data collection, a form was developed based on the Care Script Service, the data from which was then used to populate a database in an EPI INFO 7, a statistics software system. In both groups of users, males were predominant (85%, n = 482), and were between the ages of 20 and 29 years for crack users (50.9%, n = 148), and between 30 and 39 years for alcohol users (31.9%, n = 88). There were significant differences between crack cocaine users and alcohol users in liver disorders (p < 0.01) and withdrawal syndrome (p < 0.05), however, there were similar signs and symptoms between users. Crack users hospitalized less frequently (OR 0.33 [95% CI 0.23 to 0.47 p < 0.01]). Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts were similar in both crack cocaine and alcohol users. Thus, this research will lead to new proposals for health care professionals in order to enhance and improve the care provided to service customers in CAPS AD.
Apresentar as etapas, a metodologia experimentada e o perfil dos alunos na construção e avaliação do projeto educacional “Cuidados em saúde mental e atenção psicossocial: avaliação, manejo e seguimento nos territórios” (SMAPS-CE) em 2020.: Construiu-se o desenho pedagógico para educação a distância com uso de metodologias ativas de ensino-aprendizagem remotas. Duas turmas-piloto do curso semipresencial virtual, mediado por tutoria, foram criadas para fins de treinamento da tutoria e avaliação pedagógica dos recursos e formatos educacionais. Os egressos reconheceram a contribuição do curso em diferentes aspectos diante das avaliações positivas recebidas. Apesar de ter sido adaptado para o modo remoto, atingiram-se os objetivos educacionais propostos no projeto original para o formato presencial.
Objetivou-se compreender as representações de alunos e professores sobre o consumo de crack na adolescência. Trata-se de pesquisa-ação, realizada em escola pública no município de Fortaleza-CE, com doze estudantes e sete professores, de junho a agosto de 2015. Para coleta de dados, realizamos grupos focais com os estudantes e entrevistas com os professores, utilizando a técnica de gravação. Para análise dos dados, utilizamos a análise interpretativa dos desenhos produzidos nos grupos focais com base no referencial teórico de Jean Piaget. Para analisar as falas dos alunos e dos professores realizamos a transcrição na íntegra e seguimos a fenomenologia hermenêutica de Paul Ricoeur. Os resultados identificaram contradição entre as falas dos participantes: por um lado, uma reflexão diferente do que é construído socialmente a respeito do usuário, e, por outro, um discurso atrelado ao que veem na mídia e ao que vivenciam junto aos familiares que fazem uso de crack de forma desorganizada.
