Résumé
"This article is the product of research un dertaken in the city of Porto Alegre, in the Brazil ian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The goal is to bring to light and discuss a little known phenomenon attempted suicide by the elderly. Underreporting of suicide attempts among this population makes it difficult to place this serious public health problem on the political agenda. As part of this study, we interviewed not only elderly persons who had at tempted suicide, but also their family members and mental health and emergency and urgent service professionals. These interviews took place during the course of 2014. From a textual discourse analy sis of the various reports, there emerged a category we will call Convergence and NonConvergence, which deals with the relationship between the el derly population’s need for care and the healthcare model in use. This study uses three short stories of individuals to question the biomedical model of serving risk situations, stressing the concept of an Expanded Clinic to provide integrated healthcare. This concept focuses on the different types of care and the uniqueness of each user, which often the biomedical model neglects. This study also high lights the need to develop a line of care for the elderly, with investments in continued education about active aging and care in times of crises, artic ulating a crosssectorial network."
