A presente dissertação tenciona investigar algumas práticas, saberes e categorias psiquiátricas em jogo em três experiências individuais que envolveram loucura, assassinato e simulação de loucura no Rio de Janeiro do início do século XX (entre 1901 e 1921). Os atores médicos envolvidos nestes casos ligavam-se aos principais espaços e instituições da psiquiatria na cidade: o Serviço Médico-Legal da Polícia, o Pavilhão de Observações do Hospício Nacional de Alienados, o Hospício Nacional de Alienados e a sua Seção Lombroso, embrião do Manicômio Judiciário do Rio de Janeiro. Procuramos, todavia, não esquecer a experiência desses sujeitos enredados pela psiquiatria, suas trajetórias evivências, percepções e sofrimentos, assim como os discursos de outros atores acerca desses casos, como a imprensa e intelectuais de expressão do período. Tentamos, por um lado, compreender alguns dos principais influxos sócio-culturais sobre a prática psiquiátrica produzida nos espaços citados. Por outro, buscamos situar alguns conflitos e questões internas à psiquiatria do período, analisando suas estratégias na construção do diagnóstico de simulação de loucura e sua heterogeneidade de concepções em jogo na construção de algumas categorias de doença mental. Os casos aqui focados, embora com elementos diversos, possuem alguns ingredientes comuns como: o crime de homicídio, a intervenção da imprensa, a comoção pública, o trágico e, principalmente, o intercurso do saber médico-psiquiátrico.

RESUMO: Várias intervenções psiquiátricas e psicossociais têm demonstrado ser eficazes na redução da depressão e da ansiedade em indivíduos que sofreram um acidente coronário agudo. A possiblidade de modificarem a evolução da doença coronária e de reduzirem a mortalidade cardíaca continua, no entanto, por comprovar. Este estudo teve como principal objectivo avaliar a efectividade de uma intervenção de Psiquiatria de Ligação (PL) em doentes com cardiopatia isquémica aguda. Métodos: um grupo inicial de 129 doentes consecutivos, internados por Enfarte Agudo do Miocárdio (EAM) ou Angina Instável, numa unidade de cuidados intensivos foi avaliado com a Hospital Anxiety e Depression Scale (HADS). Os doentes que apresentaram uma pontuação ≥8 nas subescalas da Depressão ou da Ansiedade (n=72) foram aleatoriamente distribuídos por grupo de intervenção (GI) (n=37) e grupo de controlo (GC) (n=35). O GI foi sujeito a uma intervenção de PL, realizada durante o período hospitalar, que se iniciou nos primeiros dias de internamento e consistiu em pelo menos 3 sessões individuais (incluindo avaliação psiquiátrica, psicoterapia de suporte, intervenção psicoeducativa e medicação, quando necessário). A sessão pré-alta envolveu o cônjuge e abordou a modificação de comportamentos de risco, a adesão terapêutica e o regresso ao trabalho. O GC recebeu os cuidados habituais da unidade de internamento. Todos os doentes completaram uma entrevista inicial para avaliação do estado cognitivo (Mini Mental State Examination – MMSE), do ajustamento social (Social Problems Questionnaire – SPQ) e de aspectos sociodemográfi cos e clínicos. Os doentes foram reavaliados antes da alta, aos 45 dias, 3 e 6 meses com a HADS, o SPQ e ainda com o Nottingham Health Profi le (NHP) para avaliação da qualidade de vida. No follow-up de 6 meses foi colhida informação sobre sobrevivência, número e duração de reinternamentos, número de dias de baixa e regresso ao trabalho. Resultados: na amostra de 129 doentes avaliados no início do internamento, 20,9% apresentavam níveis de depressão ≥8 na subescala da Depressão (HADS), 53,5% níveis de ansiedade ≥8 na subescala da Ansiedade (HADS) e 9,3% perturbações cognitivas (MMSE). A avaliação longitudinal desta amostra mostrou que os níveis de depressão, inicialmente baixos, aumentaram nos 45 dias após o internamento, para depois diminuírem até ao fi nal do follow-up. Os níveis de ansiedade, que eram inicialmente altos, aumentaram nos 45 dias seguintes e antiveram- se estáveis, mas altos, até ao fi m do estudo. O GI apresentou uma pontuação média na subescala da depressão signifi cativamente inferior à do GC no follow-up de 6 meses (5,8±4,1 no GI vs. 7,9±4,3 no GC, p=0,04). O número de doentes deprimidos foi signifi cativamente menor no GI nas avaliações realizadas aos 3 meses (11 vs. 18 no GC, p=0,04) e aos 6 meses (12 vs. 18 no GC, p= 0,05). O mesmo aconteceu com o número de doentes ansiosos aos 3 meses (15 no GI vs. 23 no GC, p=0,01). As dimensões do NHP “Isolamento social” aos 45 dias e “Reacção emocional” aos 45 dias e aos 3 meses, bem como a qualidade de vida geral (NHP 2ª parte) aos 3 meses, mostraram melhoria signifi cativa no grupo de intervenção. Embora a intervenção tenha reduzido o nível médio da ansiedade nas várias avaliações após a alta, esta redução não atingiu signifi cância estatística. A intervenção realizada não teve impacto na mortalidade ou nas variáveis relacionadas com a evolução da doença cardíaca no período do follow-up. Conclusões: Os resultados do presente estudo mostram a alta prevalência de depressão e de ansiedade após um acidente coronário agudo e a manutenção de níveis altos de ansiedade nos 6 meses seguintes. Os resultados comprovam também a efectividade de uma intervenção em PL no tratamento da depressão e da ansiedade em doentes que sofreram um acidente coronário agudo. Estes resultados apontam para a necessidade de desenvolvimento de programas de PL para este tipo de doentes, tanto no hospital geral como nos cuidados de saúde primários. Sugerem ainda a necessidade de desenvolvimento de investigação que permita estabelecer o impacto específi co dos diversos tipos de intervenção, assim como compreender os mecanismos subjacentes à associação da depressão e da ansiedade com a doença coronária.----------ABSTRACT:Different types of psychiatric and psychochosocial interventions have proven effi cacy in decreasing anxiety and depression in coronary heart disease. There is, however, an ongoing discussion about the impact these interventions may have on the clinical outcome and on cardiac mortality. The main objective of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a consultation liaison psychiatry (CL) intervention on a group of patients admitted with Myocardial Infarction or Unstable Angina, to a Coronary Care Unit. Methods: The study had a prospective, randomised, controlled design, with a 6-month follow-up. One hundred and twenty-nine consecutive patients were assessed during the first 48 hours of admission with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Those with a score of ≥8 on the Depression or the Anxiety subscales (n=72) were randomly allocated to intervention (n=37) and usual care (n=35). The CL intervention, started during the fi rst days of admission, had a minimum of 3 (60 minutes) sessions, and included a psychiatric evaluation, supportive psychotherapy, a psychoeducational intervention, when necessary, psychotropic drugs. The last session, shortly before discharge, included the spouse and was focused on compliance, modifi cation of behavioral risk factors, and possible diffi culties upon returning to work. Cognitive status (Mini-Mental State Examination - MMSE), social adjustment (Social Problems Questionnaire - SPQ), and demographic and clinical characteristics were also assessed at baseline. Patients were reassessed before discharge, and at 45 days, 3 and 6 months after admission with HADS, SPQ, and with Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) for quality of life. Survival, number of readmissions and days of readmission, number of sickleave days and return to work were assessed at six months. Results: The initial sample of 129 patients, presented a 20.9% prevalence of depressive symptoms, 53.5% of anxiety symptoms, and 9.3% of cognitive disorders. The longitudinal evaluation of this sample showed that the initially low levels of depression were increased 45 days later, and slowlly decreased afterwards till the 6-month follow-up. Initially high anxiety levels, somewhat decreased before discharge, had increased 45 days later, and stayed stable and high till the end of the study. The intervention group showed a signifi cantly lower depression mean score at 6 months (5.8±4.1 vs. 7.9±4.3 in the controls, p=0.04). The number of patients considered depressed was lower in the intervention group at 3(11 vs. 18 controls, p=0.04) and 6 months (12vs. 18 controls, p=0,05). The number of anxious patients was also lower in the intervention.

The aim of the study was to establish a profile of psychiatric illnesses that are encountered during consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry and to describe interventions undertaken. The objective was to identify referral patterns, establish the referral rate, and to profile the diagnoses & describe the actions taken by the consulting doctor. This was a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study conducted on all inpatients that were referred to psychiatry from other disciplines in the hospital for the 12 month period January to December 2009. The study was conducted at Dr George Mukhari Hospital, which is a tertiary psychiatric unit which caters for mental health care users in the Garankuwa , Soshanguve and Mabopane region. The study found that the referral rate to psychiatric C-L services was lower than at other institutions. Amongst the referred patients, there was a high incidence of organic brain syndrome diagnoses, but a low rate of depression. The study proposed further investigation into the reasons behind the low rate of referral and low rate of depression, so as to improve C-L service delivery in the hospital.

Este trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa do tipo estudo de caso, realizada em um macro-hospital público psiquiátrico de uma cidade do interior do Estado da Bahia. Enfoca o desenvolvimento das atividades dos enfermeiros no cotidiano institucional, suas formas de lidarem com as situações e as relações sociais estabelecidas com os demais profissionais de saúde que trabalham no hospital. Como docente da disciplina Enfermagem Psiquiátrica, tenho relação direta com o local, acompanhando estágio de estudantes de enfermagem, haja vista o convênio firmado entre a Secretaria de Saúde do Estado e a Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, a qual pertenço. Procedi a um recorte do campo, delimitando o espaço de um Pavilhão de internamento masculino. Como estratégia de levantamento dos dados utilizei a observação participante, entrevista semi-estruturada com os enfermeiros e demais membros que com ele convivem no dia-a-dia de trabalho, além de alguns documentos importantes na contextualização do trabalho desse profissional. Procedi a apresentação das atividades dos enfermeiros, estabelecendo a trama entre eles e deles com os demais profissionais da saúde. Observei uma grande concentração de suas tarefas em torno dos fazeres burocráticos, além de ver evidenciada a figura do paciente como intercorrências a serem resolvidas, denotando a visão que têm do doente mental. Na convivência com os outros profissionais, vêm-se como centro, apesar de essa visão nem sempre ser compartilhada por esses. Pelos dirigentes, o enfermeiro é visto como o grande contornador de situações, o que o coloca em uma posição politicamente conveniente na manutenção dos interesses majoritários. Nesse hospital, o profissional enfermeiro ocupa diversas funções hierarquicamente estratégicas junto à Diretoria, com a qual mantém contato direto e diário. As condições em que vivem os pacientes da instituição são extremamente precárias e degradantes para qualquer ser humano. A falta de prioridade dada à política de saúde mental no Estado contribui fortemente para a manutenção do modelo assistencial tradicional, ainda implementado nesse hospital.
The following study is the result of a case report held at a public pychiatric hospital of a city in the State of Bahia-Brazil. We focus on the development of nurses’ activities in the institutional routine and on their ways of dealing with situations and social relations with the other health professionals working at that hospital. Being a profesor in the Psychiatric Nursing field at Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UEFS), I have direct contact at that hospital due to nursing students’ training (as a result of a partnership between the State Health Bureau and UEFS). We have mode a field sampling by taking one male, in-patient ward. We have used, as data-collecting strategy: participative observation, semi-structured questionaires applied to the nurses and other staff members who share daily work with them, and some documents which are important for contextualizing the work of such profesionals. We have presented the nursing tasks by establising their connections among nurses themselves and between nursing and other health profesionals. We have found great concentration of burocratic work among their tasks. Besides, we have found evidence of patients being considered medical problems to be solved, which expresses nurses’ views of the mentally-ill. In the staff daily routine, nurses considered themselves as being the core. However, this issue was not so evident when we looked upon the other profesionals’ views. Administrators considered nurses as being great situation managers. This places nurses at a politically-convenient situation for keeping majoritative interests. At this hospital, nurses have various hierarquically estrategic functions, close to the Board of Directors and having direct contact with them, daily. The living conditions of the patients in such institution are extremely poor and humiliating for any human being. The lack of priority given to mental health policies in this State of Bahia greatly contributes for the traditional assistential model, still playing at such hospital.

The aim was to design a new conception for both new building of psychiatric hospital and psychiatric cure on the other hand. Site is based in Velke Zaluzie, villacee in the southwestern Slovakia. Placed in site of historically protected park with a dominant building of the Old Esterhazy Mansion uses principles from moder psychiatry and space modularity to ideal inter-building connections. With high sustainability aspect a new organisation of the site was created on the whole area of the park with new functions for existing buildinge and less dominant based structure od psychiatric hospital.

Procura compreeender o Hospício da Diamantina desde 1889, quando começou a receber alienados, até 1906, quando fechou devido a retirada dos recursos públicos que até então lhe tinham sido destinados. Tal pesquisa se insere nos estudos de História das Instituições e no campo da História da Saúde Mental. Pretende compreender o que significou o hospício no momento de mudanças histórico-sociais em que foi construído, o que justificou a sua necessidade e quais as intenções da sociedade civil e da ciência de então para com o atendimento aos alienados. Tendo como referência o hospício moderno na Europa e o Hospício de Pedro II no Rio de Janeiro, tenta compreender o perfil sócio-cultural dos pacientes do Hospício da Diamantina, mediante os padrões de normalidade criados pela psiquiatria e incorporados pela sociedade diamantinense que pretendia se modernizar.

Nesta pesquisa estudamos o estabelecimento das áreas científicas neurologia, psiquiatria e psicologia, em São Paulo, no período entre 1889 e 1936, principalmente através de artigos científicos em periódicos médicos paulistas. A partir da instalação da República, iniciou-se um movimento médico de organização da sociedade e promoção da ciência que se expressou nas áreas em questão através de Franco da Rocha e de sua obra no Hospício do Juquery. Tanto ele quanto seus sucessores criaram o que se pode chamar de escolas paulistas em torno das disciplinas estudadas. A partir de uma conceituação de corpo neurológico elaborada por Foucault, constatamos que a elaboração desse corpo pelos estudiosos realinhou fronteiras entre neurologia, psiquiatria e psicologia, com a migração de moléstias entre esses grupos. Esse corpo neurológico adquiriu características próprias paulistas, em momento de afirmação de São Paulo no fim do período estudado.
With this research, we studied the stablishment of neurology, psychiatry and psychology in São Paulo, between 1889 and 1936, mainly by articles in scientific journals of São Paulo. Since the Republic starting, a medical movement tried to organize the society and promote science. This factors had expression in the concerned areas by Franco da Rocha and his work in Juquery Asylum. He and his followers created something that we can call schools of São Paulo around the studied scentific fields. With a conception of neurologic body elaborated by Foucault, we observed that the researchers rearranged the frontiers among neurology, psychiatry and psychology, with the migration of diseases from one to other of these disciplines. The neurologic body received its own caracterization of São Paulo, in a moment of reinforcement of that place in the end of the focused period.

This thesis takes issue with a polemical historiography of Bethlem which has tended to 'view the hospital as a nadir in the history of psychiatry, and to accept, too uncritically, the distorted metaphor of 'Bedlam' for the reality. It argues that there was not the radical equivalency that some historians have posited between animalistic conceptions of the insane and the actual practices and policies pursued at early modern Bethiem. Nor was this paradigm of madness the only oae prevailing in the classical period, Bethlem patients also being regarded (e.g.) as 'objects of charity', requiring both mental and bodily relief. Rather than 'brutalized', it is sustained, the inmates of Bethiem were being managed and maintained, although inadequately and inefficiently. What modern commentators have disparaged as maltreatment and squalor at Bethlem, was not merely the result of an attitude to the mad as brutes, but was also the result of a lack of resources and a failure to measure up to the ideals of provision. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the squalor and brutality of Bethiem was neither as extreme, nor as undifferentiated, as has been alleged. The hospital is located comprehensively within the context of contemporary provision for the sick and insane poor, Bethiem having too often been portrayed as if a separate island of sequestered madness. Rather than describing an immutable monolith of tradition and apathy, significant areas of evolution and innovation in the care and treatment of the insane at the hospital are delineated. Uniquely exposed to public scrutiny, the environment of Bethiem was subject, more than that of any other contemporary hospital, to powerful external forces of arbitratioia. A particular focus of the analysis entails the complex interactions between the hospital's administrators and inhabitants, and the public at large. Inter-relations between Bethlem's visitors, staff and patients, and between the insane and those who supported and committed them, have especially suffered from simplistic interpretations, and from a general ignorance with the hospital's own records and with the records of other administrative and juridical bodies dealing with the poor insane. A major preoccupation of this survey has been to contribute greater nuance and balance to standard readings of responses to the insane, both within and without the hospital.

Abstract General hospital psychiatry operates between the somatic and psychiatric approaches concerning the treatment of patients, combining knowledge from both somatic and psychiatric medicine. To establish its position, the general hospital psychiatry has to specify its role and means when rendering services. This study revealed how consultation had been arranged in six Finnish polyclinics of general hospitals. The goal was to find out which types of patients were referred to the consultation of the general hospital psychiatry and the extent of collaboration of the consulting psychiatrist with colleagues from other medical disciplines. Moreover, the focus of attention was on whether there were operational differences between the polyclinics of the University Hospital of Oulu and other hospitals. The work was also addressed to probing operational differences, if any, pertaining to people under or over 65. Additionally, one aspect to be clarified was how requests for psychogeriatric consultations and the responses of the consulting psychiatrists had developed during the five years period of the study. This study was part of a broad European Consultation Liaison Working Group effort aimed at clarifying the organization of general hospital psychiatry in 56 units in 11 European countries. The Finnish material consisted of 1255 patients, of whom 202 were over 65. The research methods applied here were psychiatric interviewing of clinical patients, and filling in of data collection forms following the instructions of the ECLW Group. The current work revealed that the number of psychiatric consultations was less than expected considering the incidence of psychiatric symptoms among somatically ill patients. Of the general hospital patients, elderly people were especially underrepresented. More than 90% of the patients who had a psychiatric consultation were diagnosed with a psychiatric problem. Thus the general hospital made available psychiatric treatment via psychiatric consultation, with a recommendation for future psychiatric care for more than half of the patients. However, one third of the patients under 65 and quarter of those above that age had already had on going psychiatric treatment. In view of this type of situation the position of the general hospital appears problematic. The object of consultation was in 90% of the cases the patients themselves, but in Oulu, almost half of the consultations were due to the personnel of the somatic disciplines in charge of the of the patients. The action mode in separate general hospitals was connected to established traditions, although the history of general hospital psychiatry is short and faces constraints put forward by the somatic hospitals. Collaboration between psychiatric and somatic disciplines was facing increasing difficulties during the five years observation period, probably due to economic recession.

Objective: To document the routes taken by patients to reach the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (DCAP) at Red Cross Children’s Hospital and to identify the factors that are associated with delay in gaining access to care.

The mental health needs of patients entering the program at ward one, Valkenberg Hospital, are not routinely measured. Their presenting problems are frequently complicated by basic and social needs, which impact on recovery and re-integration into the community. The Camberwell Assessment of Need is a valid and reliable instrument used to measure the mental health needs of psychiatric patients. In this study, this instrument was used with some modifications to assess the needs of patients on admission to ward one. At discharge, these needs were explored to measure the extent to which services and interventions were useful in meeting those needs. Where not, questions aimed at elucidating impediments to care were asked. All 60 patients completing the program agreed to participate. The average number of total needs on admission was 9.2, which included an average of 6.7 unmet needs. Psychiatric needs were the most commonly reported, with a need in the area of "depression" being declared in 59 patients. Help received prior to admission was scant, and patients had high expectations of ward one. Help received from ward one was highest in areas of psychiatric needs, with 89.8% of patients receiving moderate or high help in the area of depression. More than two-thirds of patients reported receiving low help in basic areas such as accommodation, self-care, and sexual expression. The services most often regarded as useful were organised group activities and therapies. Paired t-tests revealed that the patients without borderline personality had more unmet needs on admission. Regression analysis suggests that younger age and lower level of education confer a greater risk of unmet needs on admission and discharge. The routine use of a needs assessment instrument is recommended as an aid to guide clinicians. Attention needs to be given to basic and social needs, such as accommodation, daily activities and company, prior to admission to hospital. Where these needs persist, the active involvement of a social worker and occupational therapist is suggested. The high numbers of unmet needs in domains other than psychiatric problems, requires the input of the multidisciplinary team.

In 1897 John Sibbald, Commissioner in Lunacy for Scotland, stated that ‘the construction of an asylum is a more interesting subject of study for the general reader than might be supposed.’ This thesis traces the development of the public asylum in Scotland from 1781 to 1930. By placing the institution in its wider social context it provides more than a historical account, exploring how the buildings functioned as well as giving an architectural analysis based on date, plan and style. Here the architecture represents more, and provides a physical expression of successive stages of public philanthropy and legislative changes during what was arguably one of the most rapidly evolving stages of history. At a time when few medical treatments were available, public asylum buildings created truly therapeutic environments, which allowed the mentally ill to live in relative peace and security. The thesis explores how public asylums in Scotland introduced the segregation or ‘classification’ of patients into separate needs-based groups under a system known as Moral Treatment. It focuses particularly on the evolving plan forms of these institutions from the earliest radial, prison-like structures to their development into self-sustaining village-style colonies and shows how the plan reflects new attitudes to treatment. While many have disappeared, the surviving Victorian and Edwardian mega-structures lie as haunting reminders of a largely forgotten era in Scottish psychiatry. Only a few of the original buildings are still in use today as specialist units, out-patient centres, and administrative offices for Scotland’s Health Boards. Others have been redeveloped as universities or luxury housing schemes, making use of the good-quality buildings and landscaping. Whatever their current use, public asylums stand today as an outward sign of the awakening of the Scottish people to the plight of the mentally ill in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Sabe-se que enfermeiros que atuam em unidades de internação psiquiátrica, desenvolvem múltiplas tarefas com diferentes graus de exigências e responsabilidades, as quais, dependendo do ambiente e da forma como está planejado e organizado o trabalho podem expor este profissional aos riscos ocupacionais presentes, com conseqüências negativas para a sua saúde bem como, para qualidade do cuidado prestado aos pacientes. Dentre estes riscos, destaca-se os psicossociais. Os riscos psicossociais relacionam-se à aspectos de planejamento, organização e gerenciamento do trabalho que podem provocar desgaste físico e emocional ao trabalhador. Este estudo tem o objetivo de caracterizar os riscos psicossociais relacionados ao trabalho de enfermeiros de um hospital psiquiátrico e as estratégias para o seu gerenciamento. É um estudo descritivo utilizando a abordagem qualitativa dos dados. Os participantes foram 25 enfermeiros inseridos há mais de 6 meses no local de estudo e a coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas no período de novembro à janeiro 2014/15. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o método de análise temática. O trabalho foi aprovado no CEP da EERP/USP. Os resultados mostraram sete categorias de riscos psicossociais tais como: formação profissional, ambiente e equipamento de trabalho, relacionamento interpessoal, carga e esquema de trabalho, recursos humanos, interface trabalho-família, violência. Não foram identificadas estratégias organizacionais para o gerenciamento dos riscos, entretanto, os enfermeiros relataram a implementação de estratégias individuais para aliviar as tensões e/ou riscos gerados no ambiente de trabalho tais como: recorrer a presença da família, cinema, música, leitura, exercícios físicos, busca por terapias, religião, viagens e passeios. O estudo contribuiu preenchendo lacunas na produção de conhecimento sobre riscos ocupacionais a que estão expostos os profissionais enfermeiros de saúde mental no contexto hospitalar. Além disso, os resultados podem fornecer subsídios para gestores conhecerem detalhadamente as condições de trabalho aos quais estão expostos enfermeiros psiquiátricos, na perspectiva de implementar estratégias preventivas e/ou conservativas no ambiente laboral
It is known that nurses who work in psychiatric inpatient units, develop multiple tasks with different levels of requirements and responsibilities, which, depending on the environment and how it is planned and organized the work can expose these professionals to occupational risks present with negative consequences for their health as well, to quality of care provided to pacientes.Dentre these risks, we highlight the psychosocial. Psychosocial risks are related to aspects of planning, organization and management of work that can cause physical and emotional stress to the worker. This study aims to characterize the psychosocial risks related to the work of nurses in a psychiatric hospital and strategies for its management. It is a descriptive study using a qualitative approach. The participants were 25 nurses inserted for more than six months at the study site and the data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews in the period from November to January 2014/15. For data analysis we used the method of thematic analysis. The study was approved by CEP- EERP / USP. The results showed seven psychosocial risk categories such as vocational training, environment and work equipment, interpersonal relationships, work load and work schedule, staffing, work-family interface, violence. Organizational strategies for managing the risks have been identified, however, the nurses reported the implementation of individual strategies to ease tensions and / or risks arising in the workplace such as: enlist the presence of the family, cinema, music, reading, exercises physical, search for therapies, religion, travel and tours. The study contributed filling gaps in knowledge production about occupational hazards they are exposed to professional mental health nurses in hospitals. In addition, the results can provide information for managers to know in detail the working conditions to which they are exposed psychiatric nurses with a view to implement preventive strategies and / or conservative in the work environment

"Our society has generally viewed women as less aggressive and less likely to commit acts of violence in comparison to men. Statistics show that only 13 per cent of the violent crimes in the United States have been committed by women (Steffensmeier and Allan, 1996). However, employees at psychiatric hospitals often report problems of increased violent behavior among their female inpatients. This perception of the female inpatient population is further complicated by the mixed research findings regarding gender and violence. Considering the possible other environmental causations, gender alone should not prove an accurate variable in addressing violent behavior. Variables such as age, location, time, ethnicity, institutionalization and violence to self as opposed to violence to others will likely show significant relevance. This study will attempt to demonstrate how these other biopsychosocial variables play a role in violence prediction for this group of forensically committed patients other than gender."

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a nurse home visiting programme on the rehabilitation of children following their discharge from a dedicated child psychiatry hospital. The research was based on the premise that a nurse home visiting programme may have a positive influence on the outcomes of the rehabilitation of children following their discharge from hospital, if it reduced the need of outpatient appointments with the psychiatrist and the need for children to be re-admitted to hospital.

A história da psiquiatria, em sua maior parte, confunde-se com a história dos asilos. Os Hospitais Gerais desenvolveram-se, ao longo da história da medicina, como ambientes em que não havia espaço para os loucos. A partir do século XX, começa a ocorrer uma mudança nesse paradigma, sobretudo nos EUA e na Europa, com a criação das UPHGs em diversos serviços por lá, e a consolidação da Interconsulta psiquiátrica como área de atuação da psiquiatria, que passa a estreitar o contato com o restante da medicina. Foi um movimento que rendeu diversos avanços tanto à psiquiatria quanto às outras áreas médicas. No Brasil, esse percurso começou na década de 1950 e ocorre de forma mais tímida. Apenas 1,1% dos Hospitais gerais contam com suporte da psiquiatria em nosso país atualmente. Contudo, houve espaço no Brasil para o desenvolvimento de projetos pioneiros nesse campo, cuja história não está registrada. A psiquiatria pernambucana foi protagonista na empreitada, inaugurando inclusive a integração da psiquiatria ao hospital geral no Brasil. Pernambuco também foi um dos pioneiros na introdução da clínica psicanalítica em hospitais gerais do serviço público. O presente trabalho pretende registrar a história dessas experiências. Para tanto, escolhemos os serviços da UFPE e do Hospital Barão de Lucena, sedes dos primeiros serviços de saúde mental em hospital geral de Pernambuco. Fez-se uma ampla pesquisa documental, além de serem entrevistados alguns dos principais atores da construção desses serviços. Apesar de difícil, a integração dos cuidados de saúde mental ao hospital geral na UFPE e no HBL conseguiu efetivar-se, a partir da psiquiatria na UFPE e da psicanálise no HBL. Foram espaços configurados e sustentados dentro de uma perspectiva de formação, para além da assistência, e acreditamos que sua longevidade tenha relação com isso.
The history of psychiatry, for the most part, is intertwined with the history of asylums. General Hospitals have developed mostly as environments in which there was no room for the insane. Since the early twentieth century, a paradigm shift takes place, specially in the US and Europe, with the creation of psychiatryc units in several General Hospitals there. It led to the consolidation of Consultation Liaison Psychiatry as an official sub-specialty of Psychiatry. Integration of Psychiatry and other medical specialties was a movement that yielded many advances in both psychiatry as other medical areas. In Brazil, this journey began in the 1950s and is more . Only 1.1% of brazilian general hospitals have psychiatric support nowadays. However, there was room in Brazil for the development of pioneering experiments in this field, whose history is not recorded. Pernambuco’s psychiatry had a key role in these experiments, inaugurating the integration of psychiatry to the general hospital in Brazil. Pernambuco was also one of the first places to have a psychoanalytic couch in public service facilities. This work aims to record the history of these pioneering experiences in the state of Pernambuco. Therefore, we chose the services of UFPE and the Hospital Barão de Lucena, headquarters of general Hospital Psychiatry in Pernambuco. An extensive literature research was done, along with statements collection from some of the major players in the construction of these services. Although difficult, the integration of mental health care to the general hospital at UFPE and HBL was sucessful, arising from psychiatry at UFPE and psychoanalysis at in HBL. They were configured spaces and sustained in a training perspective, and we believe that it explains their longevity.

A Interconsulta Psiquiátrica é considerada por muitos pesquisadores como sendo a área prática e aplicada da Medicina Psicossomática, de conhecimento concernente à investigação da interação entre fatores biológicos e psicossociais no desenvolvi-mento, curso e resultado de todas as doenças. A prevalência de transtornos psiqui-átricos em hospitais gerais pode variar de 20 a 40% entre pacientes internados, po-rém uma reduzida parcela é assistida pela Interconsulta e consequentemente recebe tratamento psiquiátrico. Sendo assim, o presente estudo teve por objetivos: a) obter informações dos dados sociodemográficos dos pacientes e seus históricos em sa¬úde mental (tratamentos anteriores e tentativa de suicídio); b) analisar o uso do ser¬viço de Interconsulta Psiquiátrica, tais como as clínicas solicitantes, função dos pro¬fissionais solicitantes, motivos de solicitação, tempo de internação dos pacientes assistidos, tempo de solicitação do PI e de sua resposta, e o número de atendimen-tos realizados; c) descrever os diagnósticos clínicos e psiquiátricos dos pacientes avaliados através dos critérios estabelecidos pela CID-10; d) analisar intervenções farmacoterapêuticas e não medicamentosas, tais como as condutas sugeridas pelo interconsultor, profissionais solicitados durante a internação, as medicações psico-trópicas em uso e prescritas; e) caracterizar aspectos relacionados aos médicos clí-nicos, aos profissionais de saúde e aos interconsultores; e f) avaliar a qualidade es-trutural da solicitação psiquiátrica realizada pelo profissional clínico e a resposta dada pelo interconsultor. Para tanto, foi realizada uma análise retrospectiva de todas as solicitações consecutivas realizadas entre janeiro de 1981 a dezembro de 2010 para a Psiquiatria do Serviço de Interconsulta em Saúde Mental do Hospital das Clí-nicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo assim como a consulta dos prontuários de todos os pacientes assistidos pelo serviço para obter outras informações. Foram realizadas 4882 solicitações psiquiátricas e a taxa de encaminhamento variou de 0,7 a 1,1%. Dados sociodemográficos dos paci-entes que foram atendidos com mais fre¬quência relacionados ao sexo, cor e/ou et-nia, estado civil, com quem os pacientes residiam (somente para os homens), situa-ção laboral (somente para as mulheres), escolaridade e procedência tenderam a permanecer relativamente estáveis ao longo dos anos. As mulheres apresentaram idade média menor que os homens e foram atendidos com mais frequência: homens e mulheres casados (e mais homens soltei¬ros quando comparados com as mulhe¬res), homens que residiam com seus pais e mulheres que residiam com seus cônju¬ges e filhos, homens afastados de seus tra¬balhos e mulheres responsáveis pelos cuidados da casa, e também pacientes de ambos os sexos com idades entre 21 e 50 anos, pacientes caucasianos, pacientes procedentes do estado de São Paulo e pacientes com escolaridade até ensino fun¬damental completo. As mulheres foram mais frequentemente assistidas pelo serviço de Intercon¬sulta Psiquiátrica ao longo de todos os anos, assim como ficaram menos tempo in¬ternadas e também tiveram solicitações psiquiátricas realizadas em um menor inter¬valo de tempo após a admis¬são hospitalar. Em trinta anos, a Clínica Médica Geral foi a clínica que mais realizou solicitações psiquiátricas, o motivo de solicitação mais frequente foi a presença de sintomas psiquiátricos e o tempo de internação dos pacientes assistidos pela Inter¬consulta foi maior quando comparado aos pacientes internados no hospital de modo geral. Os transtornos neuróticos, somatoformes e relacionados ao estresse foram os diagnósticos psiquiátricos mais comuns entre as mulheres e homens atendidos pelo SISMen, seguido pelos transtornos de humor e transtornos mentais orgânicos nas mulheres e transtornos mentais orgânicos e transtornos devido ao uso de substân¬cias nos homens. Já em relação ao diagnóstico clínico, foram atendidos com mais frequência mulheres com doenças endócrinas, metabólicas e nutricionais e homens com doenças infecciosas e parasitárias; e casos de múltiplas comorbidades clínicas se tornaram mais frequentes com o passar dos anos. As principais condutas sugeri¬das pelos interconsultores foram: atendimento individual, orientação à equipe e prescrição de psicofármacos para ambos os pacientes, permanecendo frequentes ao longo dos anos, com destaque para um aumento progressivo de casos em que medicações psicotrópicas foram prescritas a partir de meados dos anos 90. E com o passar dos anos, os planos de tratamento se tornaram mais complexos e abran¬gentes e houve um aumento progressivo no número de encaminhamentos para atendimento psiquiátrico ambulatorial. Em relação à qualidade estrutural das solici¬tações psiquiátricas e das respostas dadas pelos interconsultores, ambas foram consideradas aceitáveis ou boas na maioria dos casos, sendo um indicativo positivo na qualidade de comunicação entre os profissionais. Pode-se dizer que este foi o primeiro estudo longitudinal a analisar consecutivamente trinta anos e também toda a população assistida por um serviço de Interconsulta Psiquiátrica
Consultation-liaison Psychiatry is considered by many researchers as the practical and applied area of psychosomatic medicine, which is an area of knowledge concerning the investigation of the interaction between biological and psychosocial factors in the development, course and outcome of all diseases. The prevalence of psychiatric disorders in general hospitals range from 20 to 40% of hospitalized patients, but a small portion is assisted by the consultation-liaison and consequently receives psychiatric treatment. Considering this background, this study aimed: a) to obtain information about sociodemographic characteristics of patients and their mental health history (previous treatment and attempted suicide); b) to analyze the referral patterns of consultation-liaison psychiatry, such as referral sources, reasons for referral, length of stay, lagtime and other; c) to describe clinical and psychiatric diagnoses according by ICD-10; d) to analyze pharmacotherapeutic and non-drug interventions; e) to describe aspects related to physicians, health professionals and psychiatrists; and f) to analyze the structural quality of the request made by the physicians and psychiatrists. For this purpose, it was performed a retrospective analysis of all consecutive referrals made between January 1981 and December 2010 to consultation-liaison psychiatry of Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo as well as the review of medical charts of all patients assisted by the service. 4882 referrals were made and consultation rate ranged from 0.7 to 1.1%. Sociodemographic characteristics related to sex, color or ethnicity, marital status, patients who lived (for men), employment status (for women), education and origin tended to remain relatively stable over the years. Women had a lower average age than men and were seen more frequently: married men and women (and more single men compared with women), men who lived with their parents and women who lived with their spouses and children, and also patients of both sexes aged between 21 and 50 years, caucasian patients and patients from the state of Sao Paulo. Women were more often assisted by the consultation-liaison service over the years and the length of stay and lagtime were lower than men. In thirty years, internal medicine was the most frequent referral source, presence of psychiatric symptoms was the common reason for referral and the length of stay of patients assisted by consultation-liaison psychiatry was higher compared to those admitted to the hospital in general. The main clinical diagnoses for women and men were endocrine, nutritional and metabolic, cardiovascular diseases and infectious and parasitic diseases and cases with multiple morbidities have become more frequent over the years. One third of patients were diagnosed with neurotic disorders, stress related and somatoform disorders in women and men, followed by mood disorders and organic mental disorders in women, and organic mental disorders and due to substance use in men. The main interventions were individual therapy, guidelines for staff and prescription of psychotropic drugs for women and men. There was a increase in the number of referrals to outpatient psychiatric care. Psychiatric referrals and responses by psychiatrist were considered acceptable or good in most cases, a positive indicative on the quality of communication between professionals. This was the first longitudinal study to examine thirty years consecutively and also the entire population assisted by Consultation-liaison Psychiatry.

Introduction. Consultation-liaison psychiatry is the subspeciality that provides for the psychiatric assessment and management of patients in a hospital setting, serving as an interface between psychiatry and other medical disciplines. This study aimed to provide an analysis of the Consultation-liaison psychiatry service at Groote Schuur Hospital. It was hypothesised that the hospital has a large burden of psychiatric illness amongst inpatients with unique characteristics and high rates of referrals related to HIV, alcohol and methamphetamine use. Methods. A retrospective review was performed of all inpatients referred for psychiatric consultation from other departments over a period of thirteen months. Patients referred by the emergency medical and surgical departments were excluded from this study, as they are seen by the department of emergency psychiatry. Results. A total of 452 patients (males n=174; females n=278) between the ages of 12 and 90 years were consulted, with the majority of the patients (82%, n=360) belonging to the age group of 18 to 59 years (mean age of 37 years). The referral rate to Consultation-liaison psychiatry was 0.95% (when combined with emergency psychiatry referrals the combined referral rate was 4.7%). Most referrals were from the department of medicine (56%, n=252), with the highest number of medical subspeciality referrals from neurology (6%, n=29). Request of a general review (69%) of current psychiatric symptoms (87%) occurred most frequently. The most common symptoms noted by the referring non-psychiatrist were mood symptoms (n=159; 36%), followed by suicidal behaviour (23%, n=102) and behavioural problems (21%, n=94). The mean number of psychiatric diagnoses following assessment was one (SD 1; 0:5), and most patients were assigned a definitive diagnosis (78%, n=342). Alcohol use disorder was diagnosed in 9% (n=41). Methamphetamine use was identified in 5% (n=22) of patients, with the majority being diagnosed with methamphetamine abuse. The use of other substances was identified in 9% (n=38). The HIV status was confirmed positive in 16% (n=70), with the majority of this group being female (67%). Most subjects had psychosocial and environmental problems (55%, n=249). Registrars performed a mean number of one consultation and the majority of patients were seen within 24 hours of the referral. Medication was initiated in 31% (n=139) of cases. The majority (65%, n=292) of patients were discharged from psychiatric care, and 14% (n=61) required admission to an inpatient psychiatric unit. Conclusion. The combined referral rate (consultation-liaison and emergency psychiatry) compares favourably to that of high-income countries, and is higher than any other published studies of this nature in low-income and middle-income countries. There was no substantial agreement between psychiatrist and non-psychiatrist diagnoses. As expected, mood disorders were the most common diagnoses, with only fair agreement between psychiatrist and non-psychiatrist clinicians. A high proportion of referred patients were substance users, but methamphetamine rates were lower than expected and the rate of HIV was higher than anticipated. The results presented here may facilitate improvements in the practice of Consultation-liaison psychiatry.

Background: A key innovation in the provision of inpatient services to facilitate the care and treatment of women with severe postnatal mental illness was the introduction of joint mother and baby psychiatric hospitalisations, where both the mother and baby are admitted to hospital together. This study examined the history of the practice of joint mother and baby admissions across the UK and critically explored the processes relevant to the diffusion of joint admissions and patterns of service development to identify the possible and probable causes for significant differences in service provision across the United Kingdom (UK). Aims: The study examined the documented history of the development of practice of joint mother and baby psychiatric hospital admissions across the UK and in doing so, a) Identified the pattern of service and practice development and the likely reasons for the pattern of the chronology. b) Identified the processes involved in the diffusion of joint mother and baby admissions in the UK, and explored why the practice was sustained (or not). c) Contributed new information to the continued development of innovation diffusion theory and research, and its application to health care service and practice development. Methods: A historical method was used in the study and was reported through the use of historical narrative and analysis. Data was collated from primary and secondary sources of documented evidence which was used to inform the history of joint mother and baby admissions across the UK. Data was analysed using the theoretical framework of diffusion of innovation (Rogers, 2003). Findings: Two versions of the same innovation were identified: joint admissions to side rooms of general adult psychiatric wards or annexed areas of the wards and joint admissions to specialist mother and baby units. Neither version of the practice followed the normal S-curve pattern of adoption in terms of frequency and rate of adoption. After a period of approximately 63 years there are 24 facilities for the provision of joint admissions in the NHS in the UK. The main influencers to the adoption of the practice was perception of risk, social networks internal and external to the NHS, the presence of clinical and political champions to drive the adoption and implementation of the innovation and policy entrepreneurship by clinicians working in the clinical field of perinatal mental health. The development of specific policy, guidelines and in Scotland, legislation, has resulted in a move during the last decade from joint admissions being diffused naturally to side room admissions being actively withdrawn and specialist psychiatric mother and baby units actively being disseminated. There is strong evidence that the diffusion process for specialist mother and baby units is still in motion at the time of reporting. Conclusion: Two competing versions of the same innovation had unusual patterns of diffusion. The influencers identified as relevant to the diffusion patterns of each version of the innovation were essentially the same influencers but they were used in different ways to affect change: rejection of one version of the innovation in favour of adoption of the other. The main influencers on the diffusion of joint admissions changed over the time line of the adoption pattern. Barriers to diffusion included the absence of evidence of effectiveness, the absence of economic evaluation, the position in service divisions of perinatal mental health as a field of practice and the absence of succession planning across professional groups. Recommendations are made for future research.

O objeto de estudo desta pesquisa qualitativa é o entendimento dos trabalhadores dos hospitais psiquiátricos sobre a Reforma Psiquiátrica e como lidam com esse processo. A finalidade é contribuir para a ampliação arsenal teórico prático da Reforma Psiquiátrica e propor novas luzes para a sua análise. Tem como objetivos: conhecer o que os trabalhadores dos hospitais psiquiátricos pensam sobre a função do hospital psiquiátrico no contexto da Reforma Psiquiátrica; compreender como os trabalhadores de saúde mental lidam com o processo da desinstitucionalização nas suas práticas. O cenário do estudo foi dois hospitais psiquiátricos, um público e outro privado, sem fins lucrativos, integrados ao SUS e situados no município de São Paulo. Participaram deste estudo 12 (doze) trabalhadores (de nível médio e superior). Os dados empíricos foram obtidos por meio de entrevista individual semi-estruturada. O material empírico foi analisado de acordo com as categorias analíticas: instituição, institucionalização, transição, desinstitucionalização e crise e foi referenciado em Minayo. A análise dos dados deu origem às categorias: a) o hospital psiquiátrico: o lugar da crise; b) a internação da crise; c) desinstitucionalização: a desconstrução de saberes; d) o hospital e a rede em crise; e) a persistência da cultura hospitalocêntrica; f) o hospital psiquiátrico e a família em crise; g) o hospital psiquiátrico e a sociedade. Os trabalhadores descrevem um novo hospital, cuja função é o acolhimento da crise e internação de curta permanência; identificam medidas reformistas de ordem técnica e administrativa, ocorridas no hospital como: especialização no atendimento da clientela; regime de internação de curta permanência x cronicidade; intervenção multidisciplinar x trabalho isolado; melhoria da estrutura física e de recursos humanos; melhoria da ambiência; implantação de projeto terapêutico; redução de leitos hospitalares, em função do atendimento às exigências das portarias ministeriais. Evidencia-se o entendimento de desinstitucionalização como desospitalização. Os discursos dos entrevistados evidenciam uma relação em crise do hospital psiquiátrico com a rede substitutiva de atenção à saúde mental de base comunitária. Os trabalhadores enfrentam dificuldades no processo de des-internação de pacientes com grave problemática social. O hospital psiquiátrico tem sido a própria contradição no atual modelo de atenção em saúde mental no Município de São Paulo e, portanto, nesta perspectiva, sustenta dentro de si as várias contradições advindas de sua própria gênese enquanto instituição, somadas às condições atuais em que se encontra “inexistente” na rede. O hospital psiquiátrico: lugar da crise porque lugar das contradições
The object of study of this qualitative research is the understanding of the psychiatric hospital\'s workers about the Psychiatric Reform and how they deal with this process. The purpose of the study is to contribute for the expansion of the Psychiatric Reform\'s theoretical-practical arsenal and propose new lights to its analyses. Objectives are: know what the psychiatric hospital\'s workers think about the psychiatric hospital in the context of the Psychiatric Reform; understand how mental health workers deal with the process of desinstitutionalization in their practices. The scenery of this study were two psychiatric hospitals, one public and the other private, nonprofit, integrated to SUS and placed in the city of São Paulo. 12 (twelve) workers (medium level and high education) participated in the study. Empirical data were gathered through semi-structured individual interview. The empirical material was analyzed according to the categories: institution, transition, desinstitutionalization and crises, according to Minayo. Data\'s analyses originated the categories: a) the psychiatric hospital: the crisis\'s place; b) crisis\' hospitalization; c) desinstitutionalization: knowledge\'s deconstruction ; d) the hospital and the net in crisis; e) hospital-centered culture\'s persistence; f) the psychiatric hospital and the family in crisis g) the psychiatric hospital and society. Workers described a new hospital, which\'s function is welcoming of crises and short-term hospitalization; it\'s identified reformist\'s technical and administrative measures in the hospital, such as: humanization; attendance of clientele\'s specialization ; short term hospitalization regime X chronic ness; muldisciplinary intervention x isolated work; physical structure\'s and human resource\'s improvement; environment\'s improvement; therapeutic project implantation; hospital wards\' reduction, due to the attendance of Ministry laws. It leads to the understanding of desinstitutionalization as des-hospitalization. Interviewed\'s speech show articulation in crisis between the psychiatric hospital and the substitutive mental health care net, community based. Workers deal with difficulties in the process of des-hospitalization of patients with serious social problematic. The psychiatric hospital has been the contradiction itself in the current mental health care model in the city of São Paulo and, therefore, in this perspective has in itself many contradictions that come from it\'s own genesis as an institution, added to current condition in which it \"doesn’t exist\" in the net. The psychiatric hospital: the crisis\'s place because the place of contradictions

Essa pesquisa qualitativa tomou como objeto de estudo o universo dos moradores e moradoras ararenses do hospital psiquiátrico Antonio Luis Sayão, sob gestão estadual, localizado na cidade de Araras, no interior do Estado de São Paulo. A finalidade é indicar mecanismos para o início de processos de desinstitucionalização dessas pessoas. Os objetivos foram: a) identificar, por meio do Questionário do Censo Psicossocial dos Moradores em Hospitais Psiquiátricos do Estado de São Paulo, os moradores e moradoras nascidas no município e que vivem no interior do hospital; b) investigar, por meio dos dados objetivos e os da impressão dos pesquisadores, quem são, seus recursos e possibilidades; c) propor, a partir da análise dos dados, estratégias de desinstitucionalização, para operacionalização pelo gestor local, se for oportuno. São sujeitos do estudo seis mulheres e cinco homens, cujo tempo de permanência no hospital variou de dez a trinta anos e preenchem os critérios: a) ser natural de Araras; b) familiar ter residência em Araras; c) possuir curador ou procurador e d) estar sob internação involuntária. A pergunta que orientou o estudo foi: Por quê pessoas que possuem renda e familiares no município, sob internação involuntária, permanecem institucionalizadas? As bases teóricas de referência sustentam-se na perspectiva da Desinstitucionalização e da Reforma Psiquiátrica. Os dados empíricos foram obtidos por meio dos Questionários preenchidos por pesquisadores do Censo Psicossocial, após autorização da Área Temática de Saúde Mental do Grupo Técnico de Ações Estratégicas da Secretaria de Estado de Saúde. Os resultados demonstram que os moradores e moradoras vivem amplo processo de institucionalização, despertecimento e apartamento social. As vidas são apropriadas pelo cotidiano e lógica asilar, os direitos fundamentais de cidadania são permanentemente violados: entre os que têm necessidades específicas, como deficiência física ou mental e entre os que têm e os que não têm diagnóstico psiquiátrico. Todos estão sob curatela e recebem renda administrada por terceiros, sem acesso ao dinheiro. Como resposta às necessidades, possibilidades e recursos dessas pessoas, esse estudo recomenda a execução imediata das Diretrizes das Políticas Públicas de Saúde Mental do Ministério da Saúde, das recomendações do Censo Psicossocial no Estado de São Paulo e do Plano Estadual de Saúde 2008-2011 da Secretaria de Saúde de São Paulo e desenha um Projeto de Desinstitucionalização (duas Residências Terapêuticas) para estas pessoas, atendendo suas características e as características do município de Araras.
This qualitative research took as its object of study the universe of Araras residents of the Antonio Luis Sayão psychiatric hospital, under state management, located in the city of Araras in the State of São Paulo. The purpose is to specify mechanisms for the initiation of processes of deinstitutionalization of these people. The objectives were: a) to identify, through the Psychosocial Census Questionnaire of Psychiatric Hospital Residents in the State of São Paulo, the residents born in the city and who live within the hospital; b) to investigate, through objective data and the researchers printing, who they are, their resources and capabilities; c) to propose from the data analysis some strategies of deinstitutionalization, which can be implemented by the local manager, if appropriate. Study subjects are six women and five men, whose time spent in the hospital has ranged from ten to thirty years and meet the following criteria: a) are a native of Araras; b) have a family residence in Araras; c) posses a trustee/proxy and d) is under involuntary admission. The question that guided the study was: Why do people with income and family, under involuntary admission, remain institutionalized? The theoretical bases of reference are maintained in the perspective of Deinstitutionalization and Psychiatric Reform. Empirical data were obtained through questionnaires filled out by Psychosocial Census researchers after authorization by the Secretary of the Ministry of Health\'s Technical Actions Group in the Thematic Area of Mental Health. The results show that the residents live vast institutionalization processes, desperation and social apartment. The lives are suitable for everyday living and logical placement, the fundamental rights of citizenship are constantly violated: between those who have special needs such as physical or mental disabilities and those who have and those who do not have psychiatric diagnoses. All are under the guidance of a trustee and receive income managed by third parties without access to the money. In response to the needs, possibilities and resources of these people, this study recommends the immediate implementation of the Ministry of Healths Public Policy Guidelines for Mental Health, the recommendations of the Psychosocial Census of the State of São Paulo and the São Paulos Health Secretary State Health Plan 2008-2011 and lays out a Deinstitutionalization Project (two therapeutic residences) for these people, given their characteristics and features of the city of Araras.

The tesis intends to awake a new way of looking at madness. It presents as reference the Psychiatric Hospital Doctor Jo?o Machado (Natal/RN) and histories of life and narratives of four intern residents. The research in an ethical horizon, intends to give back to the subjects the voices long silented behind the institutions walls by their families and society in general. As well as to open the interpretations of science to receive and to dialogue with other itineraries of thought that, if on one hand does not restitute the explanation of the Real, on the other hand expresses other forms to see the world. Dislocated of the bigger social environment, the people identified as insane, construct their histories endowed with autonomy and displacements in relation to the social rules and structures that characterize our society, as much as in relation to the logical principles of thought that assume an objective and rational reality. As well as a remnants bedspread configured in a complex and unfinished object, the break up of histories of life of the interns, interviews with medical on psychiatrists to the Doctor Jo?o Machado Hospital, documents of the institution and depositions of that house, were the raw material to construct, with this tesis, another chapter of the 'history of madness'. In elapsing of the work innumerable voices have been heard. Some that study the phenomenon of madness, others that live this 'state of the being' in the world. We opt to detaching the first of an open conception on the theme through intellectuals as: Jo?o da Costa Machado, Ulysses Pernambucano, Nise da Silveira and Boris Cyrulnik. They express ethics compromised to the humanity of the being
A disserta??o pretende despertar um novo olhar a respeito da loucura. Apresenta como refer?ncia o Hospital Psiqui?trico Dr. Jo?o Machado (Natal/RN) e as hist?rias de vida e narrativas de quatro internos ali residentes. A pesquisa tem por horizontes ?ticos, devolver ao sujeito as vozes que a fam?lia e a sociedade calaram atr?s dos muros do manic?mio e abrir as interpreta??es da ci?ncia para acolher e dialogar com outros itiner?rios do pensamento que, se n?o rep?em a explica??o do real, expressam outras formas de ver o mundo. Deslocados do ambiente social maior, as pessoas identificadas como loucas constroem suas hist?rias dotadas de autonomia e deslocamentos em rela??o ?s regras e estruturas sociais que caracterizam nossa sociedade, tanto quanto em rela??o aos princ?pios l?gicos do pensamento que sup?em uma realidade objetiva e racional. Assim como uma colcha que une retalhos e se configura num objeto complexo e inacabado, os fragmentos de hist?rias de vida dos internos, as entrevistas com m?dicos psiquiatras ligados ao Hospital Dr. Jo?o Machado, os documentos da institui??o e os depoimentos dos cuidadores daquela casa, foram a mat?ria prima para se construir, com esta disserta??o, mais um cap?tulo da hist?ria da loucura . No decorrer do trabalho foram ouvidas in?meras vozes. Algumas que estudam o fen?meno da loucura, outras que vivem esse estado do ser no mundo. Optamos por destacar o pioneirismo de uma concep??o aberta sobre o tema atrav?s de intelectuais como: Jo?o da Costa Machado, Ulysses Pernambucano, Nise da Silveira e Boris Cyrulnik.

Background: The impact on hospitalisations/ relapse rates of utilising long-acting antipsychotic injectable (LAIs) in a South African population suffering from chronic psychotic spectrum mental illness is poorly researched. Aim: To compare the duration and number of hospitalisation episodes 12 and 24 months before and after the initiation of a LAI. Setting: Valkenberg Hospital’s adult acute inpatient psychiatry services. Method: This was a retrospective naturalistic observational mirror-image study. Hospitalisation was utilised as a proxy for relapse. Results: Sixty-one patients were identified for the study. A comparison of the 12 months before LAI initiation to the 12 months following LAI initiation showed a reduction in the number of admissions of 44% (55 to 31), and a reduction in the number of inpatient days of 23% (1892 to 1464). There was a statistically significant reduction in the median number of hospital admissions (p = 0.005) and median inpatient days (p = 0.040). Comparing the 24 months before to the 24 months following LAI initiation, there was a reduction in the number of admissions of 30% (91 to 64) and inpatient days of 4% (3477 to 3355). There was a statistically significant reduction in the median number of hospital admissions (p = 0.014) and a non-statistically significant reduction in median days (p = 0.428). Conclusion: The prescription of a LAI reduced the duration and number of hospital admissions over a 12-month period. After 24 months, there were fewer admissions but no significant reduction in the number of inpatient days. This study supports findings of international mirror-image studies.

O presente trabalho foca a questão da implementação da Reforma Psiquiátrica nos Hospitais de Custódia e Tratamento Psiquiátrico, objetivando delinear os limites, desafios e possibilidades da referida Reforma no Estado de São Paulo. O trabalho, do ponto de vista metodológico, partiu da técnica de análise do discurso de entrevistas realizadas com pessoas chave no processo de discussão e implementação das diretrizes da Reforma Psiquiátrica nos Hospitais de Custódia e Tratamento Psiquiátrico Paulistas, além da revisão de literatura, subsídio a dados estatísticos e pesquisa jurisprudencial. Os principais limites e desafios para a implementação da Reforma Psiquiátrica nos Hospitais de Custódia e Tratamento Psiquiátrico no Estado de São Paulo são comuns a outros Estados da Federação. Em seu funcionamento, os HCTPs apresentam a predominância do aspecto custodial sobre o terapêutico, sendo que a contenção química e a física continuam a representar o agir institucional. As principais questões legais envolvidas e questionadas pelos entrevistados referem-se à não aplicação da Lei 10.216/01 na seara das medidas de segurança e a questão da presunção da periculosidade legal, reservada ao considerado louco infrator. A desinstitucionalização, vista como processo complexo, ainda apresenta grandes desafios nas dimensões técnico-assistencial, consistente na ampliação da rede de serviços substitutivos, bem como o acesso da população confinada nos HCTPs a essa rede e na dimensão sócio-cultural, uma vez que as pessoas com transtorno mental em conflito com a lei enfrentam uma tripla exclusão e estigmatização: vistos como loucos e criminosos e apresentando, antes mesmo da internação, um quadro de vulnerabilidade social. O Estado de São Paulo possui a maior população de internos, considerados números absolutos, e em seus três HCTPs criou-se uma espécie de regime de cumprimento de medida de segurança mais ou menos rigorosa, analogicamente ao existente em relação ao cumprimento de pena. Dentro dessa dinâmica, a existência do Programa de Desinternação Progressiva realizado em Franco da Rocha é indicado como uma possibilidade de aplicação das diretrizes da Reforma Psiquiátrica. O SAIPEMS Sistema de Atenção Integral às Pessoas em Medida de Segurança visto como uma forma de implantar, no Estado de São Paulo, um programa semelhante ao PAILI e PAI-PJ, desde 2009, aguarda um encaminhamento por parte dos entes governamentais. A questão do transtorno de personalidade e a possibilidade de responsabilização dos chamados sociopatas merecem estudos mais aprofundados, assim como a questão da mudança do perfil tradicional dos internos dos HCTPs, que são cada vez mais jovens e com questões relacionadas ao uso de drogas. Os Programas exitosos existentes no País que utilizam os paradigmas da Reforma Psiquiátrica no cumprimento das Medidas de Segurança apontam a questão da intersetorialidade como ponto central para o sucesso de tais programas, assim como assinalam o necessário debate para a questão da responsabilização das pessoas com transtorno mental em conflito com a lei.
This paper addresses the issue of implementation of the Psychiatric Reform in Hospitals of forensic psychiatric care, aiming at outlining the boundaries, challenges and possibilities of that reform in the State of São Paulo. The work, the methodological point of view, came from technical analysis of interviews conducted with people \"key\" in the discussion and implementation of guidelines in Psychiatric Hospitals Reform of forensic psychiatric care Paulistas, besides the literature review, subsidy statistical and jurisprudential research. The main limitations and challenges to the implementation of the Psychiatric Reform in Hospitals forensic psychiatric care in the State of São Paulo are common to other states.
