“…It has been repeatedly stated that the pandemic will have longstanding, and far-reaching, consequences on global mental health and wellbeing to the whole population, regardless of age and gender [115][116][117][118]. From a public health perspective, the identification of protective factors is crucial for developing ad hoc tailored interventions and for preventing the development of full-blown mental disorders in large scale [119][120][121][122]. From a clinical practice perspective, the promotion of supportive interventions aiming to improve the levels of resilience, the adaptive coping strategies and the levels of post-traumatic growth should be prioritized in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of the pandemic.…”

“…A similar reduced incidence was not found for the other two tested interventions (i.e., QPR ‐ Question Persuade and Refer and a screening program with referral). A further analysis demonstrated that YAM efficacy may be explained by its ability to promote adaptive coping strategies (Kahn et al, 2020).…”

Introduction Suicide is a global mental health problem for people of all ages. While rates of suicide in children and adolescents are reported as lower than those in older populations worldwide, they represent the third leading cause of death in 15–19‐year‐olds. The rates are higher among boys than girls worldwide, though the death rates for girls exceed those for boys in Bangladesh, China, India, and Nepal. There has been a general decrease in adolescent suicide rates over recent decades. However, increases are reported in South East Asia as well as South America over the same time period. Methods A narrative review method has been used to summarize current knowledge about risk and protective factors for suicide among children and adolescents and to discuss evidence‐based strategy for suicide prevention in this age group. Results Identified suicide risk and protective factors for children and adolescents largely overlap with those for adults. Nevertheless, developmental characteristics may strengthen the impact of some factors, such as decision‐making style, coping strategies, family and peer relationships, and victimization. The implementation of evidence‐based suicide preventive strategies is needed. Restricting access to lethal means, school‐based awareness and skill training programs, and interventions delivered in clinical and community settings have been proven effective. The effectiveness of gatekeeper training and screening programs in reducing suicidal ideation and behavior is unproven but widely examined in selected settings. Discussion Since most studies have been conducted in western countries, future research should assess the effectiveness of these promising strategies in different cultural contexts. The use of more rigorous study designs, the use of both short‐ and long‐term follow‐up evaluations, the larger inclusion of individuals belonging to vulnerable groups, the evaluation of online intervention, and the analysis of programs' cost‐effectiveness are also required.

“…Os autores concluíram que esta estratégia de intervenção baseada no YAM é eficaz e protege contra o suicídio, assim como, fatores que podem levar a este ato, como por exemplo o estigma. Esta afirmação também pode ser encontrada no estudo feito por Kahn et al (2020) que evidenciou o YAM como uma intervenção capaz de reduzir a ideação suicida e que o processo de socialização, próprio da estratégia, é um ponto forte da sua eficácia. Porém, estes autores destacam que mais estudos precisam ser elaborados para discutir como o YAM atua nos adolescentes a partir da sua combinação com outras estratégias.…”

Os comportamentos suicidas e de autolesão são um desafio para a Saúde Pública, especificamente para a saúde do adolescente, necessitando de intervenções intersetoriais. Neste sentido, os ambientes escolares mostram-se como espaços potenciais para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de prevenção dos citados comportamentos. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar na literatura estratégias eficazes de prevenção do suicídio e da autolesão voltadas para adolescentes em ambientes escolares. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada no período de setembro a outubro de 2021, com a utilização das seguintes bases de dados online: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (MEDLINE), Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciências de La Salud (IBECS), Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF), Coleciona SUS e Index Psicologia- Periódicos pesquisadas via portal da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e na base Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). Ao realizar as etapas previstas na revisão resultaram um total de 11 artigos que atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade do estudo. As intervenções de prevenção ao suicídio e da autolesão encontradas nesta revisão de literatura abordaram questões de saúde mental através do fortalecimento das habilidades socioemocionais e os programas apontaram predominância de treinamento para reconhecimento dos sinais do comportamento suicida e encaminhamento aos profissionais da saúde mental, principalmente o Gatekeeper (guardiões da vida). Quanto à eficácia dos estudos incluídos, foi verificado que existiram resultados promissores na maioria deles, entretanto alguns destes apresentaram lacunas.
