Abstract

Suicide as one of the most frequent causes of death in the world, states a huge problem that justifies the efforts of several health organizations in different latitudes in order to prevent and control the suicide attempts in the population. This work refers to the observational research of the type, cases and controls with the patients reported as suicide attempts since January 2007 to December 2009, in Yara, with the objective to compare the difference among the patients and the apparently health people in regard to the main psychological, familiar, biologic, psychosocial risk factors of the suicide behaviour. There were analyzed 92 patients and 184 controls. There were applied a questionnaire of data developed for that purpose, the results were analyzed in percentage and in ODD ratio estadigraph.  As a conclusion it can be said that there are significant differences among apparently health people and people with suicide attempt in relation to the studied factors, and it was noticed that unappropiated adolescent handling, depression, familiar violence, lack of affection, feelings of hopeless, have a significative relation to suicide behaviour while the biological and psychological factors do not have meaningful relation to this behaviour in our research.
