O material obtido foi analisado segundo o procedimento da Análise de Conteúdo.

Observou-se que o sofrimento psíquico foi expresso por ampla diversidade de sintomas físicos e psíquicos, que produziam limitações nas atividades de vida diária e no relacionamento social e afetivo.

Basic medical care deals with various types of needs, and this level of care is increasingly sought out by the people looking for help with health problems of a psychosocial origin. This need is seen daily at the mental health service of the Teaching Health Centre, Botucatu School of Medicine, UNESP, Botucatu, SP, Brazil.

The study has a qualitative design, and data were obtained by the focus group discussion technique, using a list of questions directed towards investigating the theme in focus. There were four groups of women grouped according to type of treatment received at the service: exclusive use of medications, pharmacological plus non-pharmaclogical treatment, exclusive nonpharmacological treatment, and new patients who were on a developing treatment project. The material produced was analyzed by the Analysis of Content procedure. Three major thematic categories were identified: manifestations of psychological suffering, treatment program, and treatment alternatives. Psychological suffering was expressed through physical and psychological symptoms, which produced limitations in daily life activities and in social and affective relationships. Medical help was sought when bodily feelings causing discomfort were identified and interpreted as in need of treatment, or when health professionals or others in the family environment identified psychological symptoms in need of treatment. The health service was reported as the only proper place for mental health care; other resources, such as religion and family support were identified as reinforcing the effects of traditional conventional treatment. Psychological suffering is found... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
