ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: This study evaluates the degree of compliance and effectiveness of the ARSUIC Suicide Risk Care Program. ARSUIC seeks to reduce the relapse risk that follows a suicide attempt by scheduling a high priority outpatient visit following hospital discharge. METHOD: Hospital-based retrospective study conducted between years 2012 and 2015. We included every suicide attempt treated at the La Paz University Hospital's mental healthcare resources network. We estimated the time between hospital discharge and the first outpatient visit; the proportion of visits that fulfill the program's objective - a follow-up within a maximum of 7 days; the suicide attempt rate; and the percentage of attempts corresponding to relapses, by study year. RESULTS: After program deployment, median time between discharge and the first visit decreased from 8.5 to 6 days, and the percentage of visits that fulfill the program's objective increased from 32 to 48.5%. Between years 2012 and 2015, the suicide attempt rate per person and year decreased from 1.20 to 1.08 and the proportion of attempts corresponding to relapses from 26.6% to 12.8%. CONCLUSION: Implementing the ARSUIC Program lowered the time between discharge and the first outpatient visit following a suicide attempt. The proportion of suicide attempts due to relapses and the suicide attempt rate per person decreased progressively. The program fulfilment proportion was under 50%, suggesting between-user differences regarding their effective access to the program.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Este estudio evalúa el grado de cumplimiento y efectividad del programa ARSUIC de Atención al Riesgo Suicida, cuyo objetivo es reducir el riesgo posterior al intento de suicidio facilitando una cita ambulatoria de alta prioridad después del alta hospitalaria. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio retrospectivo de base hospitalaria conducido, entre 2012 y 2015, en todos los casos de intento de suicidio atendidos en la red de recursos de psiquiatría del Hospital Universitario La Paz. Se obtienen estimadores del tiempo hasta la primera consulta después del alta, de la proporción de citas que cumple el objetivo del programa de ser atendidos en un máximo de 7 días, de la tasa de intento de suicidio y del porcentaje de intentos que corresponde con un reintento, en cada año de estudio. RESULTADOS: Después de la implementación del programa, la mediana de tiempo entre el alta y la primera consulta baja de 8,5 a 6 días y el porcentaje de citas que cumplen el objetivo aumenta de 32 a 48,5%. Entre 2012 y 2015, la tasa de intentos de suicidio por paciente y año se reduce de 1,20 a 1,08, y el porcentaje de intentos que corresponde con reintentos de 26,6 a 12,8%. CONCLUSIÓN: La implementación del Programa ARSUIC ha reducido el tiempo entre el alta después de un intento de suicidio y la primera cita ambulatoria. Han disminuido los intentos de suicidio debidos a reintentos y la tasa de intentos por paciente y año. El porcentaje de cumplimiento menor al 50% sugiere diferencias interindividuales en el acceso efectivo al programa

En el presente trabajo se revisan los distintos modelos de Programas de Seguimiento y Cuidado de enfermos mentales graves y crónicos en la comunidad (Modelo de agencia, «case management» clínico, «case management» intensivo, tratamiento asertivo comunitario, modelo de competencias y modelo rehabilitador) y se analizan sus características diferenciales. Así mismo se describen los programas de estas características que se han desarrollado en el estado español en las últimas décadas y se presentan los resultados preliminares del estudio IPSE («Impacto de los Programas de Seguimiento y Cuidados en personas con trastornos Esquizofrénicos en la Comunidad») en cuanto a: la valoración cualitativa de los programas por parte de los usuarios y familiares, las características que contribuyen al adecuado funcionamiento del programa y a la consecución de los objetivos, y los obstáculos comunes a su adecuada implementación
