Abstract

Objective: to identify the factors associated with a suicide attempt by people with mental disorders. Method: observational and cross-sectional study carried out with 300 people with mental disorders undergoing treatment in two Psychosocial Care Centers II in Curitiba-PR from April to June 2014. Descriptive, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed, using logistic regression. Results: the prevalence of a history of suicide attempt was 67.7%, with a significant association in the multivariate analysis, in people of the “ female gender” (p = 0.004), with “education level between zero and eight years” (p = 0.016), with “education level between nine and 12 years” (p = 0.013), with “perception of health as bad and regular” (p = <0.001) and “non-adherence to drug therapy” (p = 0.037). Conclusion: female, with a low level of education, perceiving health as bad and regular and not adhering to drug therapy were the prominent factors associated with the history of attempted suicide.
