Abstract(s)
O uso indevido de benzodiazepinas pode levar Ă dependĂȘncia desta substĂąncia,
constituindo-se como um grave problema de saĂșde, de difĂcil gestĂŁo terapĂȘutica. Apesar
desta constatação, a prescrição de benzodiazepinas ainda é comummente frequente.
Na literatura existem vĂĄrias propo ta de inter en o tera ti a e o de de
a red o rad al inter en o i otera ti a Atendendo ao men ionado e te
e t do tem omo o jeti o om reender a tem ti a e e fi a da adi o
benzodiazepinas.
Nesta investigação realizamos um estudo de caso com diagnóstico de
dependĂȘncia de benzodiazepinas. Recorreu-se a Grounded Theory para proceder Ă
analise de uma entrevista semiestrutura desenvolvida pela autora, através da
metodologia qualitativa utilizada foi possĂvel dar a este trabalho um contorno
exploratĂłrio e descritivo da vivĂȘncia de uma participante a quem tentamos dar voz.
Os resultados deste estudo evidenciam o impacto que esta dependĂȘncia tem na
vida dos indivĂduos, a dificuldade de retirada destas substĂąncias, e a falta de respostas
adequadas no sistema nacional de saĂșde, para lidar com o problema.
Podemos concluir que a intervenção psicoterapĂȘutica Ă© de extrema importĂąncia
para o tratamento deste fenómeno e que a prevenção destas situaçÔes deve ser
prioritĂĄria.
São discutidas implicaçÔes, limitaçÔes e sugestÔes para estudos futuros.
The undue use of benzodiazepines can lead to the dependence of this substance, constituting as a serious health problem, of difficult therapeutic management. Despite this finding, the prescription of benzodiazepines is still common. In the literature there are several proposals for therapeutic intervention, ranging from the gradual reduction to the psychotherapeutic intervention. In view of the mentioned, this study aims to understand the specific theme of addition to benzodiazepines. In this investigation, we conducted a case study with a diagnosis of benzodiazepine dependence. Grounded Theory was used to carry out the analysis of a semi-structured interview developed by the author, through the qualitative methodology used it was possible to give to this work an exploratory and descriptive outline of the experience of a participant to whom we try to give voice. The results of this study show the impact that this dependence has on individuals' lives, the difficulty of withdrawing these substances, and the lack of adequate responses in the national health system to deal with the problem. We can conclude that the psychotherapeutic intervention is extremely important for the treatment of this phenomenon and that the prevention of these situations must be a priority. Implications, limitations and suggestions for future studies are discussed.
