Estudo exploratório e documental, que objetivou descrever o perfil social e clínico das mulheres usuárias de cocaína e crack e identificar as características do cuidado prestado às mulheres em Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS ad). O estudo foi realizado no único CAPS ad do município de Duque de Caxias, Estado do Rio de Janeiro, em 2014. Foram analisados 113 prontuários de mulheres em tratamento nesse serviço público de saúde. Os dados receberam tratamento estatístico descritivo. As usuárias de cocaína e crack são predominantemente solteiras, com filhos menores de idade, sem ocupação remunerada, que apresentam alterações psicóticas ou do humor e utilizam outras drogas concomitantemente ao uso destas substâncias. O cuidado psicossocial está direcionado para os problemas psíquicos, sociais e clínicos das mulheres, mas com ênfase nas ações individuais, no tratamento psiquiátrico e fortalecimento da rede social de apoio. Recomenda-se abordagem terapêutica mais sensível para as questões de gênero dessa clientela.
ABSTRACT
This exploratory, documentary study to describe the social and clinical profile of women users of cocaine and crack, and to characterize the psychosocial care provided to women at a psychosocial care center, was conducted at the only such center in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro State, in 2014. The medical records of 113 women treated at this public health service were examined, and the resulting data received descriptive statistical treatment. The cocaine and crack users were predominantly single with juvenile children, no paid employment, presented psychotic or mood disorders, and used other drugs besides cocaine and crack. Psychosocial care was directed to the women’s psychic, social and clinical problems, but with the emphasis on individual actions, psychiatric treatment and strengthening the social support network. It is recommended that the therapeutic approach be made more sensitive to gender issues in this clientele.
