Abstract:

The objective was to estimate the prevalence of suicidal ideation and associated factors among schoolteachers of public schools in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, at the time of resumption of in-person teaching activities post-Covid-19 pandemic. This is a cross-sectional study that analyzed datathe baseline of a web survey named ProfSMinas Project. The dependent variable – suicidal ideation – was assessed through the answer to one of the questions in the Self Reporting Questionnaire-20. Independent variables included sociodemographic characteristics, work and employment characteristics, health status and habits/behaviors. Crude and adjusted associations between variables were estimated using logistic regression, in bivariate and multiple analyses. A total of 1,907 teachers participated and the prevalence of suicidal ideation was 5.6%. The final adjusted model showed a higher chance of suicidal ideation among male, those who lived alone, with a previous diagnosis of depression, those with sleep changes and schoolteachers who used smartphones excessively. The results indicate the importance of expanding strategies aimed at the school community to prevent suicidal behavior, considering the risks to which teachers are exposed.
