Abstract(s)
A presente investigação tem como objetivo realizar uma avaliação do processo e dos resultados da intervenção de um serviço de emergência psicadélica, assim como caracterizar os participantes e as experiências de crise psicológica desencadeadas pelo uso de substâncias psicoativas, que foram alvo de intervenção, no referido serviço, durante a edição de 2023 de um grande festival de música e cultura psicadélicas. Foram analisados documentos de monitorização da intervenção preenchidos pela equipa de intervenção e diretamente pelos participantes, assim como questionários quantitativos que se reportam à experiência de crise. Marcadas pela tendência do poliuso, maioritariamente de psicadélicos (LSD e Psilocibina), na companhia de outros e nos espaços de música e dança do festival em questão, as experiências de crise psicológica foram caracterizadas tendo em conta o estado mental dos participantes, verificando-se alterações mais significativas no momento de chegada comparativamente com o momento de saída. Além disso, 27,7% (N=10) dos participantes experienciaram um grau elevado de dificuldades relacionadas com a experiência. Em relação ao desbloqueio emocional, 52,8% (N=19) dos participantes revelam níveis normativos de desbloqueio emocional, associados à experiência de crise. Foram também descritas várias estratégias implementadas que caracterizam o processo da intervenção, como assegurar necessidades básicas dos participantes (áreas de descanso, alimento e água), falar sobre a experiência de crise e técnicas de relaxamento. Distingue-se a elevada satisfação dos participantes relativamente ao serviço em questão. Recomenda-se a realização de investigações futuras com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos a longo-prazo das intervenções realizadas neste contexto.
This investigation aims to carry out an evaluation of the process and results of the intervention of a psychedelic emergency service, as well as to characterize the participants and the experiences of psychological crisis triggered by the use of psychoactive substances, which were the target of intervention, in that service, during the 2023 edition of a major psychedelic music and culture festival. Intervention monitoring documents filled out by the intervention team and directly by participants were analyzed, as well as quantitative questionnaires reporting on the crisis experience. Marked by the trend of polyuse, mostly of psychedelics (LSD and Psilocybin), in the company of others and in the music and dance spaces of the festival in question, the psychological crisis experiences were characterized considering the mental state of the participants, with more significant changes at the time of arrival compared to the time of departure. Furthermore, 27.7% (N=10) of participants experienced a high degree of difficulties related to the experience. In relation to emotional breakthrough, 52.8% (N=19) of participants reveal normative levels of emotional breakthrough, associated with the crisis experience. Several implemented strategies that characterize the intervention process were also described, such as ensuring participants' basic needs (areas rest, food, and water), talk about the crisis experience and relaxation techniques. Participants' high satisfaction with the service in question is notable. It is recommended that future investigations be carried out with the aim of evaluating the long-term effects of interventions carried out in this context.
