Resumo:Suicide is considered one of the most prevalent problems in public health and has increasing levels worldwide. The city of Caicó/RN remained for years among the first places in the Brazilian ranking of suicide mortality, in municipalities of up to 50 thousand inhabitants. Over the past two years, suicide attempts have become the largest demand for care at the Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) III. Considered a prevention strategy for high-risk populations, improving health services and developing effective interventions for this group is a major challenge in this Region. The objective of this research was to identify users with suicidal behavior admitted to CAPS III, since its foundation; elaborate protocol for identification and referral of people with suicidal behavior admitted to CAPS III in the city of Caicó/RN; and to offer permanent health education activities to health professionals.

The results showed that 35% of users of CAPS III of Caicó/RN presented information about suicidal behavior in their medical records, and it is possible to form an epidemiological profile of these. There was a higher prevalence among females (58.5%); single (47.1%); adults aged between 30 and 39 years (28.6%); residents of the municipality of Caicó/RN (67%); and with a medical diagnosis of Mood Disorders (F30 - F39) (32%). Suicide attempts were more frequent (64%), and self-poisoning (29%) were the most commonly used methods. Through continuing education activities, it was possible to obtain as a result the deficit of professionals specialized in health devices; lack of communication between the network; the need for matriculation in mental health and the lack of training on suicide prevention for professionals; resulting in their lack of preparation to serve the public in question, from reception to rehabilitation. The data reinforce the need to seek explanations for the high rate of suicides and suicide attempts throughout the Caicó/RN, pointing out the importance of the organization of the health network as a whole and the qualification of professionals in the face of difficult topics. cope, in order to favor an understanding of this problem in public health.
