“…Diverse factors have been suggested in the literature as being associated with suicidal ideation, which shows that this is a multifactorial or multidimensional event 1 , 8 . More subjective aspects such as hopelessness, impulsivity, aggression, body perception, communication difficulties and lack of social belonging have been suggested as possible factors that trigger the suicidal ideation process 8 - 10 .…”

Objective:to analyze the factors associated with suicidal ideation in a representative sample of university students. Methods:cross-sectional study, carried out with 637 students of the Federal University of Mato Grosso. The presence of suicidal ideation, demographic and socioeconomic variables, use of alcohol through the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test, and depressive symptoms (Major Depression Inventory) were investigated. Bivariate analysis was performed with the Chi-square test and multivariate analysis using the Poisson regression model. Results:it was found that 9.9% of the students had suicidal thoughts in the previous 30 days and, in the bivariate analysis, the variables economic class, sexual orientation, religious practice, suicide attempts in the family and among friends, alcohol consumption and depressive symptoms were associated with suicidal ideation. In the multivariate analysis sexual orientation, suicide attempts in the family and the presence of depressive symptoms remained as associated factors. Conclusion:these findings constitute a situational diagnosis that enables the formulation of academic policies and preventive actions to confront this situation on the university campus.

-The present study aims to identify psychological predictors of suicidal ideation in university students. We collected a sample of 366 participants, representing a population of 7102 students from a university in northern Portugal (95% CI). Both in the whole sample and in the intra-gender analysis, students with suicidal ideation revealed higher levels of depressive symptoms, loneliness, social anxiety and fears of abandonment, and lower levels of comfort with intimacy and trust in others. Loneliness and depression are signifi cant predictors of suicidal ideation, with an odds ratio of 1.095 and 1.108, respectively. The results were consistent with those found in the literature, and call for more research and implementation of intervention protocols in university populations.Keywords: psychological predictors, suicidal ideation, university students Investigando Preditores Psicológicos de Ideação Suicida em Estudantes UniversitáriosRESUMO -Este trabalho buscou investigar preditores psicológicos de ideação suicida em estudantes universitários. Coletaramse dados de 366 participantes, que representavam uma população de 7102 estudantes de uma universidade no Norte de Portugal (95% CI). Tanto na amostra total como nas análises intra-gêneros, estudantes com ideação suicida revelaram maiores níveis de sintomas depressivos, solidão, ansiedade social e medo do abandono, bem como menores níveis de conforto com a intimidade e confi ança nos outros. Solidão e depressão mostraram-se preditores signifi cativos de ideação suicida, com uma odds ratio de 1,095 e 1,108, respectivamente. Os resultados foram consistentes com os encontrados na literatura e destacam a necessidade de pesquisas e da implementação de protocolos de intervenção junto à população universitária.Palavras-chave: preditores psicológicos, ideação suicida, universitários

“…Apesar de todos os riscos discutidos, não foi evidenciado, nos artigos acima, uma estratégia de política pública voltada para a ideia de suicídio, isso se observa, com Pereira et al (2015) no qual são necessários serviços de prevenção e intervenção no nível de ensino superior. Assim sendo, nota-se uma necessidade de estratégia voltada para a prevenção e promoção da saúde mental do jovem estudante, evitando ter um pensamento suicida (THESOLIM et al;2016).…”

_______________________________________________________ RESUMONa sociedade moderna, o suicídio tem se tornado cada vez mais recorrente. Portanto, objetivou-se entender e pontuar a prevalência do comportamento de ideação suicida em jovens universitários. Foi utilizado o método sistemático de revisão para a elaboração deste artigo. Com isso, analisou-se a presença de fatores externos associados às causas prevalentes para a ideia de suicídio, estando dentre eles: o abuso de drogas lícitas e ilícitas; pressão da faculdade e conflitos familiares; e, por fim, fatores internos como saúde mental debilitada e depressão. Todos os fatores pré-dispõem o universitário a um comportamento impulsivo. Entretanto, evidenciou-se que a depressão não é um fator exclusivo para a ideia e efetivação do suicídio. Apesar de todos os riscos discutidos, não foi evidenciado uma estratégia de política pública voltada à ideia de suicídio. Dessa maneira, observou-se que os sistemas públicos de saúde não dispõem de fatores que possam prevenir distúrbios associados a ideia de suicídio, assim como também não dispõem de intervenção e promoção da saúde mental à população universitária.Palavras-chave: Atentado suicida.

CHARACTERIZATION OF SUICIDE IDEA IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS _______________________________________________________ ABSTRACTIn modern society, the suicide has been turned increasingly recurrent. Therefore, ambitioned to understand and assess the prevalence of suicidal ideation behavior in young university students. The systematic review method was used for the elaboration of this article. Thereby, it was analyzed the presence of external factors associated with the prevailing causes for the idea of suicide, including: the abuse of licit and illicit drugs; College pressure and family conflicts; and, lastly, internal factors such as debilitated mental health and depression. All factors predispose the university student to impulsive behavior. However, it was evidenced that depression is not an exclusive factor to the idea and effectiveness of suicide. Despite all the discussed risks, there was no evidence of a strategy of public policy focused on the idea of suicide. Thus, it was observed that public health systems do not have factors that can prevent disorders associated with the idea of suicide, nor do they have intervention and promotion of mental health to the university population.
