Resumo: OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to identify, from the perspective of crack users, what are the strategies used to minimize or avoid the risks associated with consumption of crack. METHOD: A qualitative research method was used, developed through semi-structured in depth interviews. It was interviewed a criterion sample composed of 30 crack users, selected through key informants and distributed in eight different chains. The interviews were verbatim transcribed, entered and analyzed in NVivo 8 software. Data was analyzed by content analysis technique. RESULTS: Respondents believe that the greatest risks of dependence on crack cocaine are related to the psychic effects of the drug like craving, transient paranoid symptoms and depressive symptoms - and those stemming from the illegality of it, such as the police and issues relating to trafficking. However, the risk of physical complications of consumption has hardly been mentioned. The strategies focused on control of the psychic effects, mainly by consumption of alcohol and marijuana. To deal with the consequences of the unlawful drug they showed concern about how to relate to the dealers and police officers. CONCLUSIONS: The strategies developed by crack users are focused on trying to protect their selves against violence and to relief from unpleasant psychic effects - mainly craving and transient paranoid symptoms. These strategies may seem effective in the short term. However, showed long-term risks, such as alcohol and marijuana dependence.

MÉTODO: Utilizou-se método qualitativo de pesquisa, desenvolvido mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas em profundidade. Foi entrevistada uma amostra intencional por critérios, composta por 30 usuários de crack, selecionados por meio de informantes-chave e distribuídos em oito diferentes cadeias. As entrevistas foram transcritas literalmente, inseridas e analisadas no software NVivo 8, com exploração dos dados mediante a técnica de análise de conteúdo. RESULTADOS: Os entrevistados acreditam que os maiores riscos decorrentes da dependência do crack sejam os relacionados aos efeitos psíquicos da droga, como fissura, sintomas paranoides transitórios e sintomas depressivos, assim como os decorrentes da ilegalidade dela, como a polícia e as questões referentes ao tráfico. Entretanto, os riscos de complicações físicas do consumo quase não foram apontados. As estratégias se concentraram no controle dos efeitos psíquicos, principalmente pelo consumo de álcool e maconha. Para lidar com as consequências da ilegalidade da droga, mostraram se preocupar com a postura que adotam perante o traficante e a polícia. CONCLUSÕES: As estratégias desenvolvidas pelos usuários focam na tentativa de se autoprotegerem principalmente dos episódios de violência e no alívio de sintomas desagradáveis causados pela droga - principalmente fissura e sintomas paranoides transitórios. Essas estratégias podem parecer efetivas a curto prazo, porém apresentaram riscos de longo prazo, tais como dependência de álcool e maconha.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Departamento de PsicobiologiaUNIFESP Departamento de PsicobiologiaUNIFESP, Depto. de PsicobiologiaUNIFESP, Depto. de PsicobiologiaSciELOFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Instituto de Psiquiatria da Universidade Federal do Rio de JaneiroUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Ribeiro, Luciana Abeid [UNIFESP]Sanchez, Zila van der Meer [UNIFESP]Nappo, Solange Aparecida [UNIFESP]2015-06-14T13:41:29Z2015-06-14T13:41:29Z2010-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion210-218application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0047-20852010000300007Jornal Brasileiro de Psiquiatria.
