Abstract
The aim of this study was to map scientific evidence regarding suicide prevention and postvention strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic. To this end, we undertook a scoping review between 17 December 2021 and 8 February 2022, performing searches of the following databases: MEDLINE via PubMed, ISI of Knowledge via Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), SCOPUS, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) and Psychology Information (PsycINFO). Eleven studies were analyzed. The findings show that cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, psychoeducation as part of the cognitive model of suicidal behavior, and psychological flexibility have the potential to prevent suicide.
