Sistematização do cuidado ante à crise suicida em um serviço público de prevenção ao suicídio: um relato de experiência

Abstract

The topic of suicide remains surrounded by distorted ideas, taboos, stigma, and shame, which hinder help-seeking behaviors and cause harm across various dimensions of society. Objective: Systematically describe the path of the line of care carried out by the mental health team as activities of a public suicide prevention service in Teresina-PI. Methodology: This is a descriptive, qualitative study based on an experience report developed by a psychology student in a public suicide prevention service in a northeastern capital from 2022 to 2024. Experience Report: The service's care system includes: welcoming patients and companions; screening and assessing suicide risk levels; recording data in the interpersonal/self-inflicted violence notification form; detailing the care plan according to the risk level; orienting patients admitted under the service's profile; initiating treatment; documenting progress in the multiprofessional evolution record; conducting case discussions with the health team;

planning discharge; and referring patients to other mental health care networks. Discussion: The systematization of care and the team's interprofessional practice foster collaboration, which is essential for quality and efficiency in health care. Final considerations: The study highlights the practical experience of a public suicide prevention service, emphasizing its qualified assistance and integration with other care networks. It underscores the need for strengthened long-term follow-up due to the complexity of suicide and advocates for greater investment in public policies and the expansion of specialized services.
