Objetivou-se analisar a literatura específica sobre os fatores associados ao comportamento suicida em crianças com até 14 anos. Trata-se, portanto, de uma revisão integrativa sobre este tema. Os dados foram coletados nas bases de dados Pubmed e Psycinfo, a partir dos seguintes descritores: “risk of suicide”; “children”; “suicide”; “childhood”. O tempo de publicação foi limitado ao período de 1980 a 2016. Um total de 29 artigos preencheram os critérios de elegibilidade e, portanto, foram selecionados e analisados. Os resultados indicaram haver associação do suicídio com fatores neurobiológicos, escolares, sociais e mentais, dentre eles destaca-se o papel da impulsividade. Além disso, evidenciou-se que a maioria dos fatores de vulnerabilidade ao comportamento suicida podem ser prevenidos desde que sejam identificados e a criança receba tratamento psicológico e médico. Conclui-se que conflitos familiares, problemas na escola, bullying, impulsividade e depressão estão associados ao suicídio na infância. Adicionalmente, a escassez de pesquisas no âmbito nacional acerca da temática do suicídio pode contribuir para a invisibilidade desse tema na instauração de programas de promoção e tratamento de saúde.

Abstract:
An object oriented analysis on scientific literature regarding the main factors associated to suicidal behavior in children up until 14 years-old. It is an integrated review of literature on the main factors associated with suicide in children. The following database was researched: Pubmed and Psycinfo referred to the period of 1980 to 2016, with the following descriptors: “risk of suicide”; “children”; “suicide”; “childhood”. They filled the eligibility criteria of the revision of 29 articles that were ed and analyzed. The results indicate there is association of suicide with neurobiological, school, social and mental factors, and amongst them the role of impulsiveness stands out. The results found suggest that the majority of vulnerability factors to suicidal behavior can be prevented as long as they are identified, and the child receives psychological and medical treatment. We conclude that family conflicts, school problems, bullying, impulsivity and depression are associated with childhood suicide. It has been concluded that there are still scarce research in the national field around the suicide theme, which can contribute to the invisibility of this theme when establishing promotion and health treatment programs.
