Perspectivas de estudio sobre el comportamiento suicida en niños y adolescentes: Una revisión sistemática de la literatura utilizando la teoría de grafos.

In the last decades, the number of researches on suicidal behavior in childhood and adolescence has increased, however, there are no studies at present that characterize the scientific production in research perspectives. The objective of this article is to carry out a systematic review of the main perspectives of study on suicidal behavior in children and adolescents, emphasizing the main risk factors at the biopsychosocial level, clinical predictors and explanatory models. The bibliographic search was carried out in the Web of Science database. For the management of the information, a citation and clustering analysis was carried out by means of graph theory. The tools Sci2 Tool and Gephi were used. Three dominant research orientations were found focused on the analysis of psychiatric predictors of suicidal behavior (1), the relationship between non-suicidal selfinjury and suicidal behavior (2) and child abuse and its relationship with suicidal behavior (3). It is hoped that this study will contribute to the understanding of the multiple research questions about suicidal behavior in childhood and adolescence. At the same time, the methodology used enriches the field of study by accurately reflecting its current status at the research level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
