Prevalência e fatores associados à internações por personalidade dissocial no Brasil

Abstract

Objective: Describe the profile and the factors associated with Hospital Admissions for Social Dissociation in the Southern Region of Brazil.Methods: It is a Transversal Ecological Study that was carried out with data from the SIH-SUS (SUS’ Hospital Information System) regarding the admittance to the system for Social Dissociation (CID F60.2) in the previous seven years, in Southern Brazil. This present study investigates the typification of hospital admissions, aiming at expanding the debate around it considering that it shall be useful for epidemiological knowledge as well as for the planning of preventive healthcare actions. Results: Data from 7.798 cases of admissions for Personality Disorders (CID F60) were collected from the last seven years and of the 7.798 cases, 228 fitted the criteria of specific admissions for dissocial personality (CID F.60.2) where white-colored patients represented 85% of the registered admissions, and the male gender prevailed with 68% of cases. Individuals were, primarily, admitted to psychiatric units (91%), and 100% reached the middle-complexity level with an average admittance period of 16 days. Conclusion: Admittances are associated with several factors. Given the relevance of the study and the limited scientific research on the topic, the need for new and more detailed research in the area is herein reinforced. Additionally, that the data used in such studies should be retrieved not only from SUS but from the private services databases as well, and therefore, contribute to a more qualified system that is prepared for early diagnostics and treatment of such patients.
