Resumo: Objective: to investigate the evidence in the literature on the association between internet addiction and suicidal ideation in university students. Method: an integrative review of publications on the CINAHL, EMBASE, LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycInfo, SciELO, SCOPUS, Web of Science and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde databases was carried out, without restrictions regarding language or publication date. The final sample comprised 5 articles, which were organized and characterized according to author, year, method, sample, country, instruments and results. Results: the prevalence of internet addiction among university students ranged from 7.7% to 27.3%, and suicidal ideation from 7.4% to 36.1%. The results of simple logistic regression analyses showed a significant association between internet addiction and suicidal ideation, although on multiple logistic regression this association was not statistically significant for 2 out of the 5 studies reviewed. Subjects at risk of or with addiction to the internet had a significantly higher rate of suicidal ideation compared with controls. Conclusion: although the presence of association does not indicate causality, these findings serve as an early warning sign to parents, educators and health professionals, indicating the need for longitudinal studies to further elucidate this relationship.

Método: revisión integrativa realizada en las fuentes de datos CINAHL, EMBASE, LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycInfo, SciELO, SCOPUS, Web of Science y Virtual Health Library. sin restricción de idioma y fecha de publicación. La muestra final consistió en 5 artículos, organizados y caracterizados según autor, año, método, muestra, país de estudio, instrumentos y resultados. Resultados: la tasa de prevalencia de la dependencia de Internet en los estudiantes universitarios osciló entre el 7,7% y el 27,3% y la ideación suicida osciló entre el 7,4% y el 36,1%. Hubo una asociación significativa entre la dependencia de Internet y la ideación suicida en los resultados de simples análisis de regresión logística. No obstante, bajo múltiples regresionón logística, esta asociación no fue estadísticamente significativa en dos de los cinco estudios. Los sujetos en riesgo o dependientes de Internet tenían niveles significativamente más altos de ideación suicida en comparación con los controles. Conclusión: aunque la presencia de asociación no indica causalidad, estos hallazgos sirven como una señal de alerta temprana para padres, educadores y profesionales de la salud, indicando la necesidad de estudios longitudinales para dilucidar aún más esta relación.Objetivo: investigar quais são as evidências publicadas sobre a associação entre dependência de Internet e ideação suicida em estudantes universitários. Método: revisão integrativa realizada nas fontes de dados CINAHL, EMBASE, LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycInfo, SciELO, SCOPUS, Web of Science e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. sem restrição de idioma e de data de publicação. A amostra foi composta por 5 artigos, organizados e caracterizados de acordo com autor, ano, método, amostra, local do estudo, instrumentos e resultados. Resultados: a taxa de prevalência de dependência de internet nos estudantes universitários variou entre 7,7% a 27,3% e de ideação suicida variou de 7,4% a 36,1%. Houve uma associação significativa entre dependência de Internet e ideação suicida nos resultados de análises de regressão logística simples, mas com regressão logística múltipla essa associação não foi estatisticamente significativa em dois dos cinco estudos. Sujeitos com risco ou dependentes da Internet tiveram níveis significativamente mais elevados de ideação suicida em comparação com os controles. Conclusão: embora a presença de associação não signifique causalidade, os achados fornecem um sinal de alerta precoce que merece atenção especial de pais, profissionais de educação e da saúde e apontam para a necessidade de pesquisas longitudinais para melhor esclarecer essa relação.Research, Society and Development2021-05-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1550510.33448/rsd-v10i6.15505Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 6; e10810615505Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 6; e10810615505Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 6; e108106155052525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/15505/13918Copyright (c) 2021 Irena Penha Duprat; Verônica de Medeiros Alves; Janine Melo de Oliveira; Frida Marina Fischerhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDuprat, Irena Penha Alves, Verônica de Medeiros Oliveira, Janine Melo de Fischer, Frida Marina 2021-06-10T22:51:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/15505Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:36:18.921348Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
