INTRODUCTION: Suicidal behaviors are all behaviors that are life-threatening in common. Suicide is one of the most common causes of death in adults, especially after the age of 50. In Croatia in 2019, there were 582 suicides, or 14.3 / 100,000 inhabitants. Suicidal behaviors are multifaceted, but stress plays a major role in combination with other mental illnesses, and the personality of the patient is also an important factor. It is important to know that suicide is not an immediate reaction, suicide is actually a process that takes a long time and can take years. Behavioral changes are first noticed by those closest to the suicidal patient, so prompt intervention and professional help are important to prevent the tragic act. Suicide prevention is carried out through education, raising public awareness, treatment and monitoring of mental illness, sometimes suicide cannot be prevented by all the above measures. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: To investigate how many students had suicidal thoughts, plans, or attempts. Investigate and determine whether students have sufficient information about suicide and suicidal behavior, whether they are willing to help such a person, and their attitude towards stigmatizing suicidal people in our society. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The research group consisted of the first, second and third year of full-time and part-time undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Rijeka. One hundred and one respondents joined the research. An anonymous survey questionnaire consisting of a three-part questionnaire developed by the author of this paper was used to collect the data. Statistical processing of the collected data was done using a personal computer, and the collected data were described by frequency and percentage. RESULTS: Data analysis showed that 14.9% of respondents had suicidal thoughts, plans or attempts. The majority of respondents (41.6%) believe that there is not enough information about suicidal behavior, and related to this the largest number of respondents (46.5%) do not know if they can help a suicidal person. By analyzing the data, we see that 95% of respondents believe that more education is needed in schools. These 58.4% of respondents are of the opinion that suicidal people are stigmatized in our society. CONCLUSION: Suicide is a topic that is not talked about much, and from this paper we can conclude that students are poorly informed. Education of the entire population and the media can prevent latent suicide outcomes and reduce the stigma of suicidal patients.
