SUMMARY:

Introduction: Suicide and suicide-related behaviors represent a
major global public health problem, with an estimated 800,000 deaths from
suicide each year, making it one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Or
suicidal behavior may result from the interaction of many risk factors. Evidence
point out the relationship of some biological markers with the sharpening of the
including the activation of immunoinflammatory pathways. Among other factors, they may
impulsivity and aggressiveness should also be cited. Objectives: Analyze how traces of
personality (aggressiveness and impulsivity) and inflammatory state may contribute to
for suicidal behavior and scale the impact of brief telecalls on
prevention of further suicide attempts. Methodology: Cases of suicide attempt
were identified at the State General Hospital (HGE) and the study continued at the
Professor Alberto Antunes (HUPAA/UFAL). The following were applied to the
questionnaires: Socio-demographic and clinical questionnaire specific to the research; BIS-11
(Barratt Impulsivity Scale) and AQ (Buss-Perry Aggressiveness Scale). The
serum levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8, IL-1β) will be quantified
elisa technique. In parallel, patients were contacted by telephone or
video call, in brief and regular contacts, with periodicity varying according to
the distancing from the attempt. Results: So far eight
Patients. Regarding the profile, half of the sample was male, and half of the sex
female. Most were non-white ethnicity, marital status without a partner, with teaching
incomplete fundamental and active occupational situation and had the unplanned attempt.
The mean age of the sample ranged from 22 to 60 years of age. The other questionnaires
high scores, showing a high degree of impulsiveness and/or aggressiveness
in the sample studied. Conclusion: The data obtained up to the current moment of the search
suggest that characteristics such as impulsive and aggressive personality traits increase
the risk of suicide. The investigation of suicidal behavior, the sizing of the
the problem and the analysis of its determinants, aims to encourage the adoption of more
specific to the region studied in order to reduce the rates of death by suicide
