Resumo:
Neste estudo procurou-se verificar o registro e o número de casos de tentativa de suicídio entre crianças e adolescentes do município de Matozinhos, Minas Gerais, Brasil, que foram atendidos pelos profissionais de saúde do Pronto-Atendimento. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental e descritiva, cuja coleta dos dados ocorreu por meio de investigação nas Fichas Ambulatoriais, no período de 2008 a 2010. Das 73.000 fichas levantadas, selecionaram-se aquelas que tratavam de casos de tentativa de suicídio entre crianças e adolescentes do município, com idades entre três e 18 anos. Percebeu-se que os profissionais de saúde, mais especificamente os médicos e enfermeiros, não registram os casos de forma adequada, inviabilizando a informação sobre o problema e as medidas de prevenção. Concluiu-se que a subnotificação e a discrepância dos diagnósticos e o não encaminhamento aos órgãos competentes exigem repensar e rever a prática médica e dirigir um olhar sistematizado e cuidadoso para perceber o sujeito como um todo complexo.

Abstract:
This study aimed to verify the registration and the number of cases of suicide attempts among children and adolescents in the municipality of Matozinhos, Minas Gerais, Brazil, who were assisted by health professionals from the Emergency Care. This is a documental investigation, which data were collected through a survey in Outpatient Sheets from 2008 to 2010. Of the 73,000 sheets evaluated, those dealing with cases of attempted suicide among children and adolescents between three and 18 years old were selected. It was realized that the health professionals, particularly physicians and nurses, do not register the cases appropriately, invalidating information about the problem and its prevention measures. It was concluded that the underreporting and the discrepancy of the diagnostics which were also not referred to the competent agencies require rethinking and reviewing the medical practice, and drive a systematic and careful look to realize the subject as a whole complex.
