Attempted suicide is a major cause of health care demand in emergency services. A retrospective longitudinal descriptive study, and comparative studies quantitative and quality method was used, with patients seen for suicidal attempt in the Provincial Psychiatric Teaching Hospital, “Dr. C. San Juan Luis Pérez” of Villa Clara from January 2012 to March 2013 with the aim of analyzing the behavior of patients with suicidal intent . Demographic variables were studied, fact triggers were specified and personal psychiatric history and methods were identified. The study population is 75 patients and for selection probability sampling was used. The information was obtained by reviewing medical records and data from the Department of Statistics. Among the results obtained females was the most prevalent (84.7%), age ranged from 26 to 32, the triggers were the problems with the partner (36.09%) and labor (23.9%), the patients had personal psychiatric history as personality disorders (30.4 %) and the methods used were ingestion of psychotropic drugs (73.9%). It was concluded that the suicide attempt is a procedure used more and more frequently by the population in general, but particularly young people, due to inadequate coping mechanisms to problems and the easy access to the methods used for this purpose; psychiatric history may or may not be present.
