ABSTRACT
This article reports a documentary research project using a conceptual mapping methodology for suicide risk in medical students, emphasizing a socio-formative approach. The purpose is to define suicide risk and, through a socio-formative approach, identify and reduce suicide risk in medical students by understanding risk factors and psychological predictors. The axes of the conceptual mapping are constructed through the analysis of scientific literature indexed in high-impact databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and PsycINFO) published between 2015 and 2025. The results highlight the complexity and multifactorial nature of suicide risk in this vulnerable population, emphasizing the interconnectedness of individual psychological, academic, psychosocial, and institutional factors. The conceptual mapping offers a comprehensive view of the research landscape, facilitating the identification of key areas for intervention, prevention, and future research.
