Abstract

This study aimed to trace the descriptive epidemiological profile of patients cared for in the emergency department of a referral hospital following suicide attempts. This is a cross study, descriptive-exploratory. Sixty (60) cases were assessed. The data was processed and analyzed with Epi-Info. The services were in compliance with the Resolution 466/12 of the Brazilian National Health Council. Sobral city had the highest admissions rate. Most cases occurred among single unemployed – students and farmers - young women, by exogenous intoxication. It was observed the use of alcohol and other drugs. 40% of them tried to commit suicide more than once. Among the most frequently reported motivations were relationships conflicts – romantic and family wise. Half of the patients classified the nursing care as good. Qualitative research can be developed parallel to clarify this situation.
