Resumen

El propósito de este estudio fue realizar una revisión bibliográfica con el fin de evaluar la conducta suicida durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Por ello, se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos PubMed y Scielo con artículos científicos publicados entre enero de 2020 y abril de 2021. Los descriptores utilizados fueron Suicidio y Coronavirus. Después de aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se seleccionaron 37 artículos. La mayoría de los estudios revisados demostraron que la pandemia exacerbó algunos factores de riesgo de comportamiento suicida, como la presencia de un trastorno psiquiátrico asociado, aislamiento social, desempleo, consumo de alcohol, violencia doméstica, estigma social, noticias negativas, enfermedades neurológicas, trastornos del sueño, acceso restringido a los servicios de salud y otros. Por lo tanto, se espera un aumento proporcional en las tasas de conducta suicida durante y después del escenario actual de COVID-19. Aún se necesita más investigación en el área que contribuya al reconocimiento temprano de los factores de riesgo que interfieren directamente con la conducta suicida. Es importante que los nuevos estudios se enfoquen en el desarrollo de estrategias de afrontamiento más definidas ante este problema, con el fin de minimizar el impacto social, económico y de salud pública relacionado con el aumento de la conducta suicida.
