“…O comportamento suicida tem sido conceitualizado como um contínuo de pensamentos e comportamentos desde a ideação até o suicídio em si (Ganz, Braquehais, & Sher, 2010). Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (2006), o suicídio encontra-se entre as dez principais causas de morte em todo o mundo, sendo estimado que aproximadamente 10 a 20 milhões de pessoas o contemplem pelo menos uma vez na vida.…”

ResumoO suicídio constitui um grave problema para a saúde pública. Está entre as dez principais causas de morte na população mundial em todas as faixas etárias e ocupa o terceiro lugar em jovens entre 15 e 35 anos. O presente estudo é quasi-experimental, quantitativo e transversal, e tem como principal objetivo comparar os níveis de ideação suicida entre estudantes universitários (n = 50) versus não universitários (n = 51). Os sujeitos foram comparados em função do sexo, idade, local de residência, se vivem acompanhados ou sozinhos, nível de escolaridade e estado ocupacional. O instrumento utilizado foi o Questionário de Ideação Suicida. A amostra foi constituída por 101 indivíduos com idades compreendidas entre 18 e 25 anos, com média de 21,44 anos e desvio-padrão de 2,43. Os resultados evidenciaram que os maiores níveis de ideação suicida encontram-se na população não universitária. Os efeitos estatísticos com significado foram encontrados nas comparações por escolaridade, estatuto ocupacional, viver sozinho e presença de perturbação de ansiedade e/ou depressão. Os resultados do estudo sugerem que sejam adotadas medidas de prevenção do suicídio de forma a reduzir não só a taxa letal, mas também o número de tentativas. Palavras-chave:

“…Otherwise, the changes and challenges that students face can bring intense psychological suffering and, in the extreme, lead them to suicide. Suicidal behavior is a complex phenomenon, with several predictors and related variables (Ganz, Braquehais, & Sher, 2010). Beyond that, this behavior reveals particular nuances in college students, requiring a specific conceptualization in this population (Drum, Brownson, Denmark, & Smith, 2009).…”

Suicidal ideation is often an indicator of mental health problems and a major risk factor for suicide. This study aims to present the prevalence of suicidal ideation and compare students of a Portuguese university by school and gender. A total of 366 individuals from four schools completed the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (cut-off point ≥ 41 is significant) and specific questions about lifetime and past week suicidal ideation. Frequency analysis and chi-square tests were performed. The lifetime, past year and past week prevalence of suicidal ideation was 12.6%, 10.7% and 10.7%, respectively. A higher percentage of suicidal ideators were attending the School of Human and Social Sciences, and were of the female gender. However, these variables are not significantly associated with suicidal ideation. The results obtained emphasize the need for more research and the importance of taking special precautions to help students to deal with their personal and professional contingency challenges. Keywords Ideación Suicida en Estudiantes Universitarios: Prevalencia y Asociación con la Escuela y el GéneroResumen: La ideación suicida es frecuentemente un indicador de problemas mentales y uno de los principales factores de riesgo para el suicidio. Este estudio intenta presentar la prevalencia de ideación suicida y comparar por género y por escuelas estudiantes de una universidad portuguesa. En total, 366 alumnos de cuatro escuelas completaron el Cuestionario de Ideación Suicida (puntuación ≥ 41 es significativa) y cuestiones sobre la ideación suicida durante su vida y semana anterior. Se realizaron análisis de frecuencias y la prueba ji-cuadrado. Durante su vida, en el año y semana anterior se encontraron prevalencias de 12.6%, 10.7% y 10.7%, respectivamente. El mayor porcentaje de alumnos con ideación suicida pertenece a las Ciencias Humanas y Sociales y el género femenino, pero estas variables no se relacionan significativamente con la ideación suicida. Los datos suscitan más investigación y refuerzan la importancia de ayudar a los estudiantes a enfrentar las contingencias personales y profesionales desafiantes.

“…The development of such approaches would, in turn, depend on the identification of factors leading to suicide [24][25][26]. Although significant improvements have been made in the knowledge about this important public health problem, some gaps have been remained in knowledge about suicide risk factors; and analysis of epidemiologic surveys and administrative data sets can advance the understanding of its risk factors [27]; therefore, this study was conducted to assess the possible psychological risk factors of suicide.…”
