Utilização dos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) na cidade de Santos, São Paulo, Brasil

Objectives: To identify the user profile in the Outpatient Mental Health and Psychosocial Care Center of Lorena -São Paulo. Methods: A descriptive exploratory study with data collected from medical records of 5,830 users of both services for mental health. Results: We analyzed 5,490 outpatient medical records, and 340 from the Psychosocial Care Center. In the outpatient clinic, 68% of users were women and in the Psychosocial Care Center, 61% were men. Prevalent diagnoses in the outpatient clinic were: neurotic disorders, stress-related and somatoform disorders; in the Psychosocial Care Center, they were disorders arising from the use of psychoactive substances. The medications most commonly prescribed in the clinic were antidepressants, and in the Psychosocial Care Center, antipsychotics. Conclusion: It was noted that mental health services are delivered in a manner that is disjointed from primary care, and it is necessary to implement a support matrix in this city.

“…A OMS estima ainda que esse número possa aumentar em 15% até 2020 e que 25% das pessoas em algum momento das suas vidas desenvolverão algum tipo de patologia mental 6 . No Brasil, os estudos epidemiológicos visam frequentemente avaliar casos de diagnóstico de pequenas populações em regiões dispersas, especialmente sul e sudeste [7][8][9][10] . Para a realidade do estado da Bahia, destacamos os estudos da caracterização de pacientes com transtornos mentais atendidos nos CAPS de Ilhéus e São Francisco do Conde, nos períodos de 1995-2007 e 2012-2013, respectivamente [11][12] .…”

“…6 Few studies have developed instruments to assess these services regarding satisfaction of users and family with care provided, 2 and others have focused on characterizing CAPS clientele. 1 There are many issues involving the implementation of CAPS designed as a "synthesis service" gathering together all different levels of care in a single unit within local health systems. It is important to assess how adequate CAPS setting is for mental health rehabilitation in the community and to what extent these services may be deviating from their original role and becoming outpatient services that provide extensive care to chronically ill patients.…”

OBJECTIVE:To describe infrastructure, human resources, and care approaches in psychosocial healthcare services. METHODS:Descriptive study including 21 psychossocial healthcare services for adults affi liated to the local health department in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, conducted between 2007 and 2008. Information about infrastructure of facilities, human resources available and patient care was collected using a standardized instrument. There were performed descriptive data analysis and chi-square test to test the association between care activities and service source and location. RESULTS:Ten services were fi rst created as outpatient clinics and later adapted, eight were day hospitals and only three were created as psychosocial healthcare services. None of them was open 24 hours a day. Half of them were located in rented buildings with inadequate infrastructure especially for group activities. Staff composition was very different among services, with emphasis on on-site group activities and little integration to other health services. All services provided mostly arts and cultural activities. Earlier outpatient services provided mainly craft activities and former day-hospitals offered mostly psychophysical integration activities. The profi le of activities varied according to the geographical distribution of services. CONCLUSIONS:Current heterogeneous character of psychosocial healthcare services seems associated to the history of mental health care programs that have been implemented in São Paulo since 1980s and to social, economic and cultural differences in different areas of the city. Different psychosocial care approaches were found ranging from on-site care with little integration with other health services to services that refer their users to other services after symptoms become stable in an attempt to create a network of mental health care.
