Abstract (English): Objective: to trace the epidemiological profile of suicide attempts that occurred in the city of Ipatinga - MG in the period from 2019 to 2021. Methods: descriptive research with crosssectional, retrospective, analytical design, with data collection from the Information System on Diseases and Notifications (SINAN) between the years 2019 to 2021. Results: 905 occurrences were recorded, and of these, 73.6% were female, with a mean age of 27.0 ± 12.4 years, 64.2% studied up to high school and 72.7% were not married. Almost half of the suicide attempts occurred in 2019, 43.0%, and in 22.8% of cases the person had already attempted suicide before. The most common types of attempts were poisoning (83.4%). A significant association was found between a greater chance of suicide attempts by poisoning and being female, and of hanging by men. Conclusion: the epidemiological profile showed a higher prevalence of the female population, and that the vast majority use poisoning as the method of choice. However, the act is not restricted only to this specific public or age group, and is related to several factors, requiring constant vigilance and public coping policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Portuguese): Introdução: o autoextermínio consiste no ato de violência contra si mesmo devido a sofrimento insuportável. É um problema global, ligado a fatores biológicos, psicológicos e sociais. A notificação é obrigatória no Brasil, mas a subnotificação ainda é um desafio. A Organização Mundial de Saúde e o Ministério da Saúde destacam a importância de abordar o tema e implementar medidas preventivas. No Brasil, ele está entre as principais causas de morte. Este estudo busca traçar o perfil epidemiológico das tentativas de suicídio em Ipatinga, MG, entre 2019 e 2021.Objetivo: traçar o perfil epidemiológico das tentativas de suicídio, ocorridas no município de Ipatinga -MG no período de 2019 a 2021. Métodos: pesquisa descritiva com delineamento transversal, retrospectivo, analítico, com coleta de dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Agravos e Notificações (SINAN) entre os anos de 2019 a 2021. Resultados: 905 ocorrências foram registradas, e destas, 73,6% eram do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 27,0 ± 12,4 anos, 64,2% estudaram até o ensino médio e 72,7% não eram casados. Quase metade das tentativas de suicídio ocorreram no ano de 2019, 43,0%, e em 22,8% dos casos a pessoa já tinha tentado suicídio anteriormente. Os tipos mais comuns de tentativa foram por envenenamento (83,4%). Foi encontrado associação significativa entre maior chance de tentativa de suicídio por envenenamento e sexo feminino, e de enforcamento pelos homens. Conclusão: o perfil epidemiológico mostrou uma maior prevalência da população feminina, e que a grande maioria, utiliza o envenenamento como método de escolha. No entanto, o ato não está restrito apenas a esse público ou faixa etária específica, e está relacionado a diversos fatores, sendo necessário, uma vigilância constante e políticas públicas de enfrentamento.
