“…Thus, results showed a consistent increase of suicide mortality with a standardized mortality ratio around 1.65, mainly due to the excessive number of suicides by poisoning [30]. Suicide verdicts had been provided by 87% of the remaining 223 physicians and open verdicts by 13% of them [31].…”

“…An increase of suicide frequency by poisoning was a common characteristic seen in all subgroups, especially among male members of the Association of Specialist Physicians (AMS, acronym in Portuguese) and of the Organization of Practicing Physicians (OGP). Physicians presented an increase in the number of accidents and suicides by poisoning, as well as by other methods [30]. However, Siu, Yuen and Cheung, 2012, after analyzing 226 questionnaires applied to physicians enrolled in the Hong Kong Public Doctors' Association, observed that higher levels of physical and emotional burnout were associated with early age, less working experience, need of job shift changes, less children, and lower physical workout [28].…”

“…The amount of hours spent by a medical professional for the genesis of this situation is around 56, in a way that burnout among physicians is possibly related to a wide interaction of factors, including physical exhaustion, too many shifts, unhealthy working positions and unhealthy sleep patterns [28]. Additionally, the combination of extenuating working conditions and possible selection of subjects with particular personality marks might contribute to high risks of suicide among physicians [15] [20] [30]. Siu, Yuen and Cheung, 2012, reported that physical exercises and colleagues' social support were not considered factors of burnout relief [28], and the culture the physicians undergone did not have so much importance as a risk factor for the genesis of suicidal thoughts [20].…”

Background: Suicide among physicians is a serious public health issue, with an extremely complex and multifactorial behavior. Aim: The aim of this study was to use the theme "Suicide among Physicians" to exemplify the analysis of methodological similarities between the scientific content available at MEDLINE and BVS databases, as scientific research tools. Methods: This is a systematic review with metanalysis. The following combinations of keywords were used for data search in the referred databases: "suicide" AND "physicians" AND "public heath". Results: Three hundred and thirteen publications were identified, but only 16 studies were chosen. Great association was found between MEDLINE and BVS databases and the Odds Ratio regarding the theme: "Suicide among physicians". Conclusions: Considering the similarities found in the utilization of the two analyzed databases, it was possible to identify that suicide among physicians is associated with the exercise of an important professional role in the society and in the workplace. With regard to scientific information, the p-value-obtained value (<0.05) seems to be staHow to cite this paper: Damasceno, K.S., de Sousa Barbosa, É., Pimentel, J.V.C., Teixeira Júnior, A.G., de Meneses, A.C.P., Gonçalves Júnior, J., de Sousa, D.F., da Costa Lima, P.S., Sales, I.B., Gouveia, A.S., Biruel, E.P., Neto, M.L.R. and do Nascimento, 353tistically significant for the association between the suggested theme and the methodological similarities of the scientific information available in the analyzed databases. Thus, these open-access research tools are considered scientific reliable tools.

As causas externas apresentam distribuição desigual entre diferentes grupos populacionais. Esta pesquisa buscou verificar se há diferença nos óbitos por causas externas entre médicos e advogados, profissões de um mesmo grupo socioeconômico. Foi realizado um estudo transversal dos laudos de necropsias realizadas em médicos e advogados no IML-BH no período de 2006 a 2012. Foram analisados 107 laudos, sendo 39 de médicos (36%) e 68 de advogados (64%). Em ambos os grupos houve predominância de indivíduos do sexo masculino, com idade superior a 49 anos e a maioria vivia sozinha. As principais circunstâncias dos óbitos nos dois grupos foram acidentes de trânsito, suicídio e homicídio, nesta ordem de prevalência. Como não houve diferença estatística na maioria das variáveis analisadas e o poder do estudo foi inferior a 80%, não foi possível com os dados avaliados afirmar diferenças nos óbitos por causas externas entre as duas ocupações. Apesar deste estudo não apresentar poder suficiente para demonstrar associação entre a circunstância do óbito e a profissão, sua relevância encontra-se na descrição do perfil epidemiológico destes profissionais em relação às mortes por causas externas. O seu conhecimento pode orientar ações preventivas em relação a essa causa de mortalidade, contribuindo para medidas de saúde pública.
