Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to conduct an integrative literature review on the incidence of suicidal desire in illicit drug users and the main associated factors, noting that there is a scarcity of studies that specifically address this public, being of paramount importance for public health. Methods: Research carried out on the proposed theme, in an orderly and comprehensive way, an integrative and exploratory study, carried out from a bibliographic survey in the Medline, Lilacs and Scielo databases. The following keywords were described according to the DeCS: Suicidal desire / Suicidal desire / Suicidal desire, risk factors/risk factors/risk factors, Drug Users/Drug Users/Drug Users. Results: Data were found that suggest a strong association of suicidal ideation in illicit drug users, even if they were in treatment, the most reported substances were heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and hallucinogens, the associated factors were childhood abuse, initiation drug, depression among others. Conclusion: Empathy in the medical services provided can provide the individual with an unconstrained exposure of their real condition. Drug users naturally tend to isolate themselves, and not seek help, this accentuates the chances of suicide in this population.
