MEDEIROS, Bruno Gonçalves de; MEDEIROS, Natany de Souza Batista  e  PINTO, Tiago Rocha. Permanent education in mental health: the suicide on the health care agenda of Community Health Agents. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.2, pp. 1-16. ISSN 1809-8908.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the attitudes of the Community Health Agents (CHA) in relation to suicidal behavior before and after training aimed at handling cases with suicidal risk. The research was developed in the municipality of Caicó (RN) because it is a city with a high rate of suicides. 38 CHA, aged 27-61 years (M = 38.7, SD = 8.9), answered the Suicide Behavior Attitude Questionnaire (SBAQ) and the Scale of Attitudes Toward Suicide (EAS) Pre/Post training. The results indicated that after the training, the CHA showed more positive attitudes about the ability to deal with patients. The unfavorable attitudes towards anomic suicide were more present after the training. It is important to emphasize the importance of professional training focused on the development of less moralistic and compassionate attitudes.
