| Sumario: | Research aiming to analyze the association between recurrence of suicide attempt and the severity of depressive symptoms. This is an exploratory, descriptive, quantitative research, with data collection carried out between December 2017 and November 2019, in an Emergency Care Unit in Assis / SP. Participated 95 people who were in attendance due to suicide attempt, through interview with semi-structured questionnaire and application of the Beck Depression Inventory. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used, using Fisher's exact test and Cramer's V contingency coefficient. The level of significance was set at p <0.05. The research project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Among the 95 (100.0%) participants, 66 (69.5%) had a recurrence of suicide attempt, and 36 (37.9%) had a previous diagnosis for depression. With the analysis of the association between the recurrence of suicide attempt and the levels of depression, it is allowed to state that they are dependent variables both for people without previous depression (p = 0.022) and for people with previous depression (p = 0.030). Recurrence for attempted suicide was prevalent for people with more severe levels of depressive symptoms. |
