Abstract

Objective: To identify factors related to hopelessness in college students.
Method: cross-sectional study conducted in a Higher Education Institution in the state of Piauí - Brazil, in 2017, with 142 students from the health courses. The Beck Hopelessness Scale, Beck Suicidal Intent Scale, and socioeconomic and academic questionnaire were used. The data were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test, Mann-Whitney test, and Kruskall-Wallis test.
Results: Of the students with suicidal ideation, 24 (77.4%) presented a severe level of hopelessness. Higher mean scores on the Hopelessness Scale were observed in male students, who did not attend the desired course, with reports of insecurity about their professional future, users of alcohol and other drugs, with a history of suicide attempts, bullying and depressed mood.
Conclusion: Hopelessness correlates with the presence of suicidal ideation and low academic performance, highlighting the importance of physical, mental, and academic health support actions.
