| Sumario: | Durkheim was the one who first noticed the impact of religion on suicide rates. Studies have migrated from the social sciences to medicine. This present work investigates the existence of considerable religious grey literature of spiritual orientation on suicide, with particular emphasis on prevention. We have conducted a bibliographic study on the topic of suicide and its relationship with religion, ethnography and netnography. In such study, we have greatly considered grey literature on the written or media cultural production held in Brazil. We have observed that the bibliographic production of spiritual orientation, in areas of grey literature, overcomes that of other religions. Considering religion and faith as protective factors for suicide, this study raises hypotheses for his prevalence: intrinsic aspects of Kardecist cosmology, problems concerning the Catholic theology, the peculiar character of spiritism’s psychography, and the role of grey publications in religiosity. ardecism has the privileged role of reporting on suicide. Health care strategies should take this fact into account, considering the need for creating social network assistance for primary care. |
