Understanding the reasons why a person commits suicide is very complex. As a self-inflicted disease, suicide has become a big public health problem. There is no single cause of reason, and it can result from a complex multifactorial interaction. However, most suicides are preventable 1 .More than 700,000 people die globally due to suicide every year, which means that every 40 s a person dies. In 2016, the Word Health Organization (WHO) found that suicide was the fourth leading cause of death among young people aged 15-29 years. About 77% of suicides in the world occur in low-and middle-income countries 2 .It is a phenomenon with great relevance to public health, due to its magnitude, the seriousness of the cases, hospitalizations and sequelae, and emotional damage caused to the victims and their families, thereby causing numerous psychological, social, and economic problems 3 .Suicide can be understood as a deliberate act that is performed by the individual, whose main intention is death, consciously and intentionally, even if ambivalent, using means or method that the individual believes to be lethal 4,5 . The Brazilian population has been showing a prevalence of suicidal behavior, with 17% of people having thought of suicide at some point in their lives, and only 1% was seen in the emergency department 4 .The principal risk factors for suicide are as follows: history of attempted suicide and mental disorder 1,4,6 . Previous attempt is the most important predictive factor, indicating that this patient is five to six times more likely to try again 4,5,7,8 . Besides mental disorders, other factors such as social and psychological aspects and health conditions, even impulsive acts, are involved 2,4 .The most frequently mental disorders associated with suicide are depression, bipolar mood disorder, dependence on alcohol and other psychoactive drugs, schizophrenia, and personality disorder. The risk becomes even bigger for patients with multiple psychiatric comorbidities 4 .Suicide prevention efforts are mainly focused on identifying people with mental health problems and on the availability of
O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar o perfil e a frequência de casos rastreados de infecção pelo novo coronavírus (COVID-19) entre profissionais de saúde de uma unidade hospitalar referência no atendimento à doença. Trata-se de um estudo transversal em que foram utilizados os dados da Ficha de Notificação de Síndrome Respiratória COVID-19 e realizado os exames de RT-qPCR e Teste Rápido. Foram calculadas as frequências absolutas e relativas, usadas para descrever o perfil da amostra. Para comparação entre casos confirmados ou não da COVID-19, foi realizado o teste qui-quadrado com correção de continuidade de Yates, sendo considerados estatisticamente significativos os valores que apresentaram p <0,05. Foram testados 630 profissionais, com maior percentual de casos confirmados de profissionais do sexo feminino, idade abaixo de 40 anos, com atuação direta ao paciente, realização de pelo menos um teste para SARS-CoV-2 e maior frequência na hora da testagem dos sintomas de cefaleia, dor de garganta e mialgia. Do total, foram identificados 81 exames positivos. No teste de associação, identificou-se relação entre a sintomatologia e o número de sintomas dos casos reagentes para SARS-CoV-2 (p = 0,001). Apesar de não significativo, destaca-se o número de profissionais do sexo feminino e que atuam no setor de clínicas com resultados reagentes. Monitorar e identificar os casos reagentes para o SARS-CoV-2 é essencial para auxiliar na prevenção da disseminação do vírus, bem como estabelecer mecanismos de prevenção e monitoramento da saúde do trabalhador do serviço de saúde.
