“…Furthermore, these preliminary approaches developed in the foundations of Social Sciences have been applied up to the present. Durkheim's Suicide Assessment has been recently implemented and validated in gerontological practice [16], [17]. Recent studies regarding metrology for the social sciences have also addressed ideas from Durkheim's immediate predecessor, Gabriel Tarde (1843-1904) [18], [19].…”

Recent studies have been endeavoring to overcome challenges to ensure reliable measurement results in Social Sciences and Humanities facing the complex characteristics of this scientific field. However, the literature indicates that the founding designers of sociology as an academic discipline expressed concerns regarding social measurements more than a century ago. Based on a literature review, the present work investigates possible metrological aspects already addressed in the early days of Social Science, focusing on the methodological conceptions of two of sociology’s early canons – notably Max Weber and Emile Durkheim. The present study reveals that the approaches contemporaneously developed by the two Social Sciences co-founders present diverse but fundamentally complementary configurations, allowing a wide range of social phenomena to be analyzable. Although employing their terminologies, both social scientists incorporated fundamental metrological concepts in their procedures’ parameters, seeking to establish a single reference, using statistical analysis or determining measurement standards that resemble what is known today as reference material. The concern with applying metrological concepts since the early days of creating sociology as a science reinforces the need to invest extensive efforts to provide uniformity of measurements in this remarkably relevant field of application of Measurement Science.

“…The elderly group is the most vulnerable, especially among men over 65, with the characteristic of not showing warning signs and generally succeeding in their first attempt (Marson, 2022) . This author uses Durkheim's theory in the description of the types of suicides (fatalistic, anomic, selfish, and altruistic) (Zhao, 2014) and the evaluation of such behavior through Durkheim Suicide Assessment (DSA) (Marson, Hong, & Bullard, 2017), helping to identify the circumstances and social factors that figure in the social history. It is an assessment that helps to prevent and determine a strategy for intervention against suicide based on the social environment (Marson, 2022).…”

There is a social and cultural problem related to suicide in advanced societies. From a professional point of view, social workers intervene to achieve social welfare and health for the people with whom they work without being exempt from suffering suicidal ideation themselves. The present research aims to analyze suicidal ideation in undergraduate students of Social Work. Through a quantitative methodology, this phenomenon is analyzed in a large sample of students belonging to Spanish universities (n=1005). In the statistical study, a frequency analysis, a cross-table analysis, and a binary logistic regression are developed, taking as reference the dependent variable: the risk of suicidal ideation. The predictor variables of suicidal risk are: sex, type of social relationships, bullying in previous stages, consumption of antidepressant medication, increased anxiety after COVID-19, and economic difficulties in continuing studies. Universities should not be oblivious to the problems of their students but should incorporate specific programs for the treatment and prevention of suicidal risk, promoting quality education about the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
