Abstract:   (763 Views)
Suicide is one of the social harms that has grown significantly in recent decades. The age of committing suicide has also decreased, and this problem has spread significantly among children and especially teenagers. Based on this, this article aims to recover the strengths and weaknesses of the researches and evaluate the practical suggestions presented by them with a qualitative approach and with a systematic review method of the studies that have been written so far in this field in order to determine the extent to which the problem of suicide can be reduced. They have been effective among children and teenagers and finally practical suggestions should be provided. For this purpose, after searching the databases and finding studies related to the subject of children and teenagers’ suicide, 83 study titles were included in the systematic review process. The results show that although a combination of individual, family, social, contextual and cultural factors affect the increase of thoughts and ideation and suicide attempts or its reduction in children and adolescents, despite this, most of the studies in this field consider suicide to be a psychological and individual problem. which is done as a result of a mental disorder and they have dealt with it with a psychoanalytical or psychiatric approach. The prevailing view of suicide is still as a psychological phenomenon rather than social and cultural.
