A relevância deste estudo relaciona-se com as lacunas existentes na literatura em relação a percepções de pessoas que usam drogas (PUD) acerca de medidas que as englobam, assim como o carácter recente da sala de consumo assistido (SCA) do Porto e a necessidade de continuar a adaptar as intervenções dirigidas a esta população e a desenvolver políticas públicas baseadas em evidência. Os objetivos gerais deste estudo foram identificar, caracterizar e compreender as percepções das PUD sobre a SCA na cidade do Porto. Para dar resposta a estes objetivos foi utilizada uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa. Foram entrevistados indivíduos com consumos problemáticos, referindo-se estes principalmente a cocaína e/ou heroína, ao longo de pelo menos cinco anos, que se encontram em situação de vulnerabilidade e que utilizam os serviços do gabinete de apoio na zona oriental do Porto ou da unidade de apoio móvel. Foram entrevistadas 10 PUD, quatro do género feminino (40%) e seis do género masculino (60%), todas de nacionalidade portuguesa (100%), com idades compreendidas entre os 45 e os 67 anos. Todos os participantes conheciam a SCA mas apenas 2 a tinham utilizado. Apesar da compreensão da das potencialidades da medida, esta população demonstra também preocupações que podem levar à não utilização da mesma.
The relevance of this study is related to the gaps in the literature regarding the perceptions of people who use drugs (PWUD) about measures that encompass them, as well as the recent nature of the supervised consumption room (SCR) in Porto and the need to continue adapting interventions aimed at this population and developing evidence-based public policies. The general objectives of this study were to identify, characterize and understand the perceptions of PWUD about SCR in the city of Porto. A qualitative methodology was used to meet these objectives. Individuals with problematic drug use, mainly cocaine and/or heroin, for at least five years, who were in a vulnerable situation and who used the services of the support office in the eastern part of Porto or the mobile support unit, were interviewed. Ten PWUDs were interviewed, four female (40%) and six male (60%), all of Portuguese nationality (100%), aged between 45 and 67 years. All participants were aware of SCR but only two had used it. Despite understanding the potential of the measure, this population also demonstrates concerns that may lead to it not being used.
