Introduction:

mental disorders are a pathology that occurs in all cultures, appearing at any age.

Objective:

to characterize hospital admissions in the Crisis Intervention Unit of the Provincial Psychiatric Hospital "Luís Ramírez López" of Guantánamo, during the period 2015-2017.

Method:

a retrospective descriptive study was conducted with the patients admitted to the Crisis Intervention Unit during the study period (n = 550). The primary data was obtained from the review of the clinical histories to characterize the study group (n = 538). The variables were studied: age, sex, origin, diagnosis, and length of stay in the service.

Results:

most hospital admissions corresponded to patients aged between 18 and 23 years old for 21.9%, followed by 60 years old and more with 16.3%, female gender represented 53.9% of income. The patients of the Guantánamo municipality predominated with 42.0%, the most frequent diagnosis was the depressive adjustment disorder with 27.9%, followed by the personality disorder with 24.2%. 66.4% of the patients showed a hospital stay of less than 7 days.

Conclusions:

in the Crisis Intervention Unit, patients were admitted to the productive stage of life, especially women with depressive disorders, which shows the social relevance of their study.
