Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa sobre o tema do estigma social imposto aos indivíduos que tentaram suicídio, trazendo à tona reflexões a partir da perspectiva bioética. A pesquisa foi conduzida em bases de dados eletrônicas. Foram incluídos apenas artigos de revistas científicas revisadas por pares com resumos disponíveis. Não houve limites quanto ao ano de publicação e idioma. Na primeira fase de busca, 272 manuscritos foram encontrados. Após a leitura dos textos completos, apenas 22 foram incluídos no estudo. Diante das limitações da pesquisa, acredita-se que o estudo aprofundado do estigma no comportamento suicida pode contribuir significativamente para o tratamento de pacientes que se submeteram à tentativa. Conclui-se que o estudo desse assunto apresenta ampla gama de discussões bioéticas, por ser um fenômeno que afeta aspectos relacionados à autonomia e à proteção da pessoa.

Introduction: Suicide, a complex and universal human phenomenon, is a major public health problem. This study reviewed the literature about the major risk factors associated with suicide attempts by poisoning. Methods: An integrative review of the literature was performed in databases (LILACS, PubMed and MEDLINE) to search for studies published between 2003 and 2013, using the following keywords: suicide, attempted; poisoning; risk factors. Inclusion criteria were: original study with abstract, sample of adults, and attempted suicide by poisoning in at least 50% of the study population. Results: Two hundred and nineteen studies were retrieved and read by two independent examiners, and 22 were included in the study. The main risk factors for suicide attempts by poisoning were female sex, age 15-40 years, single status, little education, unemployment, drug or alcohol abuse or addiction, psychiatric disorder and psychiatric treatment using antidepressants. Conclusion: Further prospective studies should be conducted to confirm these risk factors or identify others, and their findings should contribute to planning measures to prevent suicide attempts.

Palavras-chave ABSTRACTObjective: To identify psychiatric conditions and socio-bio-demographic aspects associated with attempted suicide. Methods: The sample consisted of 240 patients of both sexes, aged 18 to 68 years, 120 patients comprised the control group and the experimental group 120. The instruments used were a socio-bio-demographic questionnaire and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Results: A higher presence of stressors in the experimental group, the main ones being the experience of an emotional separation and the existence of family conflicts, the most common psychiatric condition in the population studied was generalized anxiety disorder and more associated with suicidal behavior it was major depression. Conclusions: These results add the importance of investigating the presence of generalized anxiety disorder as another suicide vulnerability factor.

Objective: to characterize educational actions related to human communication health produced at the Tele-Health Center for health professionals in primary care. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted at the Tele-Health Center at the Federal University of Pernambuco Clinical Hospital. Educational actions produced by tele-consultants between 2008 and 2014 linked to the health of human communication were considered. Data collection was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the data were explored and educational actions were selected based on the title and the relationship with human communication. In the second phase, each action was observed and evaluated for content. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: a few educational actions related to human communication health were concentrated in 2014. Throughout the period analyzed, the actions were restricted to the field of language and concentrated on the education issue as well as the strategic area of child and adolescent health. The most frequent occupational category among the tele-consultants was nursing. Conclusion: a small number of educational actions addressing the health of human communication was produced and the participation of speech therapists remains incipient.

IntroductionThe abuse of alcohol and other drugs is a worldwide problem, the treatment of which poses a challenge to healthcare workers.ObjectiveThis study presents a proposal for a systematic review to analyse the psychometric properties of assessment tools developed to measure the self-efficacy of drug users with regard to resisting the urge to take drugs in high-risk situations.Methods and AnalysisThe guiding question was based on PICOS (Population Intervention Comparator Outcome Setting), and the report of the methods of review protocol was written in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P). Searches will be performed in the PsycINFO, Cochrane, Pubmed, Web of Science, SCOPUS and CINAHL databases, followed by the use of the ‘snowball’ strategy. The inclusion criteria for the articles will be (1) assessment tool validation studies; (2) assessment tools developed to measure self-efficacy; (3) quantitative measures; (4) measures designed for use on adults; (5) data from self-reports of the participants; (6) studies involving a description of psychometric properties of the measures; and (7) studies that explain how the level of self-efficacy is scored. The search, selection and analysis will be performed by two independent reviewers. In cases of a divergence of opinion, a third reviewer will be consulted. The COSMIN checklist will be used for the appraisal of the methodological quality of the assessment tools and the certainty of the evidence in the articles (risk of bias) will be analysed using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach.Ethics and disseminationThis protocol does not require ethical approval. However, this protocol is part of the thesis entitled Drug-Taking Confidence Questionnaire for use in Brazil, presented for obtaining a doctorate in neuropsychiatry and behavioural sciences from the Federal University of Pernambuco, and has received approval from the human research ethics committee of the Federal University of Pernambuco (reference number: 1.179.162).The results will be disseminated to clinicians and researchers through peer-reviewed publications and conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017068555.
