Abstract: In recent years the suicide rates have been increasing gradually in many countries.

“…This involves observing the individual's suicidal behaviour and being at hand and listening to the patient when he or she might be at risk of attempting suicide (James, Stewart, & Bowers, 2012;O'Donovan, 2007;Rooney, 2009). Another intervention for preventing suicide is to make the care environment secure and reduce access to material that can be used as a tool for suicide (Bowers et al, 2005;Sun, Long, Boore, & Tsao, 2005). Although there is some evidence to suggest that special observation is effective in reducing the rates of attempted suicide, there has been very little research into the effectiveness of these containment strategies (Bowers, Dack, Gul, Thomas, & James, 2011;Bowers et al, 2008).…”

“…Esse fato aponta para a importância de serem consideradas as diferenças culturais ao se estudar a influência da mídia no ato suicida, principalmente porque o perfil das informações traz muito do que a sociedade aceita, suas crenças e costumes. Outro ponto é a necessidade de criação de políticas públicas para essa finalidade, bem como o desenvolvimento de páginas oficiais que abordem o tema do suicídio e se voltem à busca do que está por trás do fenômeno suicida, tal como apresentado por Sun et al (2005). Os trabalhos voltados à promoção de saúde produzem impactos positivos, principalmente sobre aqueles que já tentaram se matar em algum momento da vida, uma vez que podem ser grandes as chances de recaída.…”

“…Este ato constitui um grande problema de saúde pública, além de gerar dificuldades para aqueles que perderam um membro familiar por tais circunstâncias, e para a equipe médica que eventualmente o estivesse atendendo (OMS, 2000;Sun, Long, Boore, & Tsao, 2005). De acordo com dados da Organização Mundial de Saúde (World Health Organization -WHO, 2003), a cada ano aproximadamente um milhão de pessoas morrem no mundo em decorrência de suicídio, principalmente na faixa etária compreendida entre 15 e 44 anos.…”
