ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The nursing perspectives on suicidal behaviors may influence the quality of assistance and suicidal prevention. This phenomenon is scarcely investigated among nursing students. AIMS: The aim of this study is to understand the meanings of suicidal behavior for Portuguese undergraduate students. METHODS: This qualitative study utilized Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism. We collected data in Portugal in 2017-2018 with 13 undergraduate students. RESULTS: Students compared suicidal behavior to "A complex and close haze" and considered it "A neglected phenomenon". Suicidal behavior was predominantly perceived as an emotional distress that requires assistance. The students compared the person and society as "The car and the road: behavior influenced by communication and interaction" and valorized social dimensions and repercussions of suicidal behavior. LIMITATIONS: Lack of triangulation in the data and the sampling restricted to nursing students of a single institution are considered limitations of this study. CONCLUSIONS: This study can contribute to the development of academic education strategies and psychosocial support for nursing students.

A partir da Teoria do Investimento Parental prevê-se diminuição no investimento com a diminuição da relação benefício/custos. Investigou-se a variação no investimento materno em função de variáveis socioambientais que podem apresentar impacto na relação benefício/custo do investimento materno. Os fatores investigados apresentaram, de forma geral, efeito sobre o investimento materno no sentido esperado de acordo com a teoria: quanto maiores os custos representados pela ausência de coabitação com pai, pouca disponibilidade de renda e início precoce da vida reprodutiva, menor o investimento materno. Conclui-se que os fatores socioambientais podem promover ou inibir o investimento materno indicando a importância de políticas públicas no sentido da promoção da estabilidade destes fatores.(AU)
The Theory of Parental Investment predicts a decrement in parental investment as the benefit/cost ratio decreases. Differences in maternal investment were investigated in relation to socio-environmental variables that may have an impact on the benefit/cost ratio. The factors investigated showed, in general, effects on maternal investment in the expected direction according to the theory: as costs increased, represented by the absence of cohabitation with the father, diminished income and early reproductive age, lower levels of investment were observed. It is concluded that socio-environmental factors may promote or inhibit maternal investment, indicating the importance of public policies in promoting the stability of these variables.(AU)
