Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the metric properties of a selection of items of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCAT) included into 2006 Catalonia Health Survey and adapted to evaluate experiences of primary care (PC) under population perspective. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The study population was composed of non-institutionalized residents of Catalonia over 15 years of age (n = 12 933). The instrument used was a 10-item selection of the adult user’s version of the PCAT (PCAT10-AE). We assessed internal consistency, correlation between items and performed exploratory factor analysis and external validity analysis. Results: The instrument presented adequate internal consistency (0.72). All items showed acceptable correlation with other items that constitute the scale. The single extracted factor explained 64% of the common variance in the responses, allowing the construction of a global index for evaluation of PC. We observed an association between better evaluation of PC and more satisfaction with the health system. Conclusions: Metric analysis supported the integrity and general adequacy of this very short tool included in a population health survey. The global index proposed could be a good measure for assessing and monitoring the adequacy of part of the PC experiences in first-contact care and person-focused care over time, under population perspective. On the other hand, the loss of content as a consequence of the selection of items, suggesting use of the expanded versions of the PCAT-AE whenever a global evaluation of PC is desired and it is possible.

RESUMO: Introdução: O fenômeno da porta giratória é caracterizado por repetidas e frequentes reinternações psiquiátricas. Objetivo: Investigar as características sociodemográficas, clínicas e de acompanhamento em serviços da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial (RAPS) associadas às internações e às reinternações psiquiátricas de usuários de um hospital geral de Porto Alegre. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com uma amostra de 96 participantes. Resultados: Mais da metade da amostra (53,1%) era do sexo feminino, 51% eram solteiros e a idade média foi de 44,33 anos. Dos dados clínicos, 36,5% (n = 35) dos usuários estavam em sua primeira internação e 36,5% (n = 35) preencheram o critério para reinternação frequente. Os resultados mostraram que usuários com reinternações frequentes referiam um número significativamente menor de pessoas com as quais consideravam que poderiam contar. Já os usuários de primeira internação viviam com um número significativamente maior de pessoas que o restante da amostra e possuíam, com menor frequência, vínculo com serviço de saúde, utilizando o hospital como porta de entrada para o cuidado em saúde mental. Em relação ao acompanhamento na rede, 34,4% da amostra não frequentava nenhum serviço da RAPS antes da internação à época do estudo e somente 4,1% fazia uso de serviços de reabilitação psicossocial. Conclusão: Destacamos a importância do hospital como ponto articulador da rede e estratégico para realizar a ponte com os serviços da RAPS. Apesar de a literatura internacional investigar e registrar o fenômeno da porta giratória, percebe-se que esse é um campo que necessita de maiores investigações no território brasileiro.

Frequent Psychiatric Readmission (FPR) (revolving door phenomenon) is characterized by repeated and frequent hospitalizations that occur shortly after discharge. The aim was to analyze the criteria of FPR and associated factors: sociodemographic, clinic and care network data. We performed a systematic review in PubMed, VHL, and PsycINFO, using “readmission” and “mental disorder”. We selected empirical studies of adult populations, published in 2010-2014 in English,Portuguese and Spanish. Twenty-six articles were analyzed through the PRISMA protocol. High prevalence rates of FPR were found, between 9% (one month) and 84% (two years). Nevertheless, the different criteria used may have influenced contradictory results. The most consistent results indicate that young, single people, with less social support and involuntary admissions have higher chances of FPR, while community interventions seem to reduce FPR. We highlight the importance of establishing a consensus on the FPR criterion to develop future studies and interventions.
