abstract="BACKGROUND: The nursing perspectives on suicidal behaviors may influence the quality of assistance and suicidal prevention. This phenomenon is scarcely investigated among nursing students.   Aims: The aim of this study is to understand the meanings of suicidal behavior for Portuguese undergraduate students. <br><br>METHODS: This qualitative study utilized Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism. We collected data in Portugal in 2017-2018 with 13 undergraduate students. <br><br>RESULTS: Students compared suicidal behavior to &quot;A complex and close haze&quot; and considered it &quot;A neglected phenomenon&quot;. Suicidal behavior was predominantly perceived as an emotional distress that requires assistance. The students compared the person and society as &quot;The car and the road: behavior influenced by communication and interaction&quot; and valorized social dimensions and repercussions of suicidal behavior. Limitations: Lack of triangulation in the data and the sampling restricted to nursing students of a single institution are considered limitations of this study. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: This study can contribute to the development of academic education strategies and psychosocial support for nursing students.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
