MULTIPROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT OF PEOPLE ASSISTED AFTER SUICIDE ATTEMPTS IN EMERGENCY SETTINGS: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW

Abstract

Suicide attempts constitute a major public health problem and represent a frequent and complex demand in emergency services, which often serve as the first point of contact for individuals in psychological crisis with the health system. In this context, the quality of care and integrated team-based practice are essential beyond immediate clinical stabilization. Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence on the multiprofessional management of people assisted after suicide attempts in emergency settings. Method: This integrative literature review was conducted according to PRISMA 2020 and Joanna Briggs Institute recommendations, with searches in national and international databases. Studies addressing care strategies, service organization, and interventions for people in psychological crisis treated in emergency settings were included. Results: The findings highlight the importance of organized care pathways, comprehensive assessment, qualified reception, and integrated teamwork, as well as the relevance of structured follow-up after discharge. Conclusion: Multiprofessional management should be understood as an articulated process involving service organization, collaborative practices, and integration with the mental health care network.
