Ideação de suicídio em um serviço de teleatendimento para usuários de drogas / Suicidal ideation in a telephone service for drug users

A relação entre drogas e suicídio é apontada como causal, porém alguns autores defendem a perspectiva que a presença de substância é um fator de risco. Portanto é importante nos serviços voltados aos dependentes químicos explorar o risco de suicídio para medidas preventivas. Pensando nisso foi realizado um estudo transversal no Ligue 132, para descrever as informações disponível relacionadas a situações de suicídio e a disponibilidade de serviços públicos para o atendimento desses casos. Em 2011 foi encontrado 77 casos com menções de suicídio. A substância mais envolvida foi o álcool. Entre os sujeitos que identificaram o município de onde estavam falando 64% possuía algum formato de CAPS. Ha necessidade de mais estudos para investigar o uso de telemedicina para o atendimento de casos de suicídio assim como uma descrição mais detalhada desses casos para compreensão melhor das causas.(AU)
