Abstract

INTRODUCCIÓN: Existe debate sobre la relación entre modernización y la tasa de suicidio. Los cambios producidos por la reestructuración social y económica pueden estar provocando frustración, desesperanza y conflictos de identidad, que asociados a población vulnerable con indicios de psicopatologí­a, familias disfuncionales y patrones culturales de opresión, favorezcan el suicidio. OBJETIVO: realizar una revisión sistemática de los artí­culos sobre suicidio en comunidades rurales, con población campesina, indí­gena y/o aborigen. METODOLOGÍA: La búsqueda se realizó durante los meses enero a marzo del 2016 en 9 bases de datos y 4 sitios especializados. Se incluyeron artí­culos cientí­ficos completos, sobre estudios empíricos publicados entre el 2005 y 2016. RESULTADOS: Se encontraron 51 artí­culos, 20 en América, de los cuales 14 son en Latinoamérica, 18 en Asia, 6 en Oceanía, 5 en Europa y 2 en África. CONCLUSIONES: Existe un mayor registro de estudios en América Latina, en comparación con otras regiones.
