Description
Occupational health needs to search for tools, data to adopt effective
preventive health measures. Suicide is an important cause of mortality
worldwide, with about 1 death every 40 seconds, according to the WHO. Identifying and monitoring indicators of suicide, especially in times of absence caused by the pandemic, is a relevant action for public policies and can be triggered in the work environment. Information technology and the search for health information on the internet is increasing. The tool “Google Trends” (GT) can contribute to know the behavior about suicide. Can exploratory analyzes of the “GT” guide or optimize measures in collective health? This paper aims to analyze the behavior of research and consultations with the GT, together with data from the Ministry of Health – DATASUS (Brazil) on suicide mortality. Methodology: Descriptive and exploratory study. Period from 2018
to 2020. Analysis of searches carried out on the internet with the word suicide and mortality due to Suicide in ICD 10: X60-X84. Use of Excel® spreadsheets and Pearson correlation. The following were analyzed: year of occurrence, place of occurrence.
Results: In Brazil Mortality rates in the years 2018 (12,733), 2019 (13,522) and 2020 (12,751) were similar. The household was the main
place of occurrence (62%). In an analysis with data search google trends, there was no strong correlation in the years 2018 (-0.22) and 2019 (0.15), but in 2020 the correlation found was: -0.42
Conclusion: Thus, we believe that a preventive approach based on
analysis of data from internet trend surveys – google trend – can be
used.
