- Abstract
Objective: to characterize the profile of users of a type II Psychosocial Care Center (PSCC). Method: documentary and quantitative study, carried out from August to December 2016, in Fortaleza, Ceará. The sample consisted of 240 records of active users in the years 2014 and 2015. A form was used to collect data that investigated variables such as age, sex, schooling, type of disorder and number of hospitalizations. An association was made between variables with Pearson's Chisquare test. Results: the results showed that when the type of disorders and the gender were related, schizophrenia was more frequent in males (47.3%) and bipolar disorder (23.3%) and depression (24.1%) were more frequent in females. Statistical significance was obtained by correlating variables, such as: age group and type of disorder (p = 0.002); Sex and disorder (p = 0.001); Suicide and disorder (p = 0.001) and number of hospitalizations and type of disorder (p = 0.001). Conclusion: the most prevalent psychopathologies in this study influence the quality of life of service users. Thus, the characterization of the profile of the users of the PSCC generates subsidies for elaboration of measures that extend the care in mental health.
