0903/2012 - Autópsia psicológica e psicossocial sobre suicídio de idosos: abordagem metodológica Psychological e psychosocial autopsy on suicide of elderly: methodological approach
O artigo analisa a qualidade e a consistência de um roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturada, adaptado para o estudo do suicídio de pessoas idosas e apresenta o método das autópsias psicossociais que resultou da aplicação desse instrumento. O objetivo é demonstrar como o uso da entrevista em profundidade e sua forma de organização e análise de dados foram testados e aperfeiçoados por uma rede de pesquisadores de vários centros de pesquisa do Brasil. O método envolveu a aplicação do instrumento em que se socializou um manual de instruções sobre a coleta, sistematização e análise de dados. A metodologia foi aplicada no estudo de 51 casos de idosos que faleceram por suicídio em dez municípios brasileiros. A metodologia empregada permitiu a verificação da consistência do instrumento usado e a aplicabilidade do seu método, durante o processo e ao final, por meio de uma avaliação em rede. O roteiro aperfeiçoado e as instruções para replicá-lo e analisá-lo são aqui apresentados. Os resultados apontam o rigor e a credibilidade dessa abordagem metodológica testada e qualificada de um modo interdisciplinar e interinstitucional.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the quality and consistency of a semi-structured interview script, adapted for the study on suicide of elderly people, and presents the method of psychological and psychosocial autopsies, which is the result of this instrument application. The objective is to demonstrate how the use of an interview in depth and its data’s organization and analyses were tested and improved by a net of researchers of eight regions in Brazil. The evaluation of the method was used before and after the application of the instruments to collect, systematize and analyze data. This methodology was applied in 51 cases of elderly people who died by suicide in ten Brazilian municipalities. The study did more than just collect data with scientific rigor, since it also verified the consistency of the instrument used and the applicability of its method. So, the improved script and the instructions of how to apply and analyze it are presented here. The results show the rigor and trustworthiness of these methodological approach tested and qualified by a multidisciplinary and inter-institutional procedure.
