abstract="OBJECTIVE: To identify the factors related to attempted suicide in a group of children and adolescents hospitalized in the Mental Health Unit at the &quot;Evaristo Garcia&quot; Hospital Universitario del Valle and in their family groups. <br><br>MATERIALS AND METHODS: Exploratory-descriptive research. An assessment was used according to Marjory Gordon's functional health patterns. Sixteen minors and 14 of their parents or legal guardians were surveyed. <br><br>FINDINGS: Protective factors were identified, especially in values and beliefs and role-relationship patterns, and risk factors in patterns of the health management perception and tolerance-confrontation to stress. In addition, changes in patterns were observed: metabolic nutritional, activity-exercise, and sleep-rest. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The risk factors identified, as well as the presence of a triggering event and the availability of a suicide method increase the risk suicide attempt in children and adolescents. The application of the nursing care process facilitated obtaining information and identifying risk factors related to attempted suicide becoming a tool of the discipline, which contributes to systematization and nursing research. © 2011 Universidad del Valle, Facultad de Salud.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
