DUTRA, Elza. University student's suicide: existential emptiness in contemporary times. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.3, pp. 924-937. ISSN 1808-4281.

Studies conducted in Brazilian Northeast region with medicine and psychology university students show a high rate of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among them. At the same time reports of suicidal attempts in higher education institutions in northeast and southeast region such as Pernambuco and Rio de Janeiro are not uncommon. Based on these data, this work relies on some existential analysis ideas such as anguish, boredom and technique to understand the academic, social and existential contexts where the phenomenon occurs. It is hoped that the discussion on the subject calls attention to the relevance of the problem and foster the development of strategies for care and acceptance of the student's existential dimension.

Palavras-chave : student's suicide; suicide and existential analysis; suicide and boredom; Heideggerian phenomenology.
