[en] Introduction and objective: The current economic crisis has led some countries to propose policies based on cuts in social budget in order to confront their debts. The effects of the economic recession and the austerity policies imposed by some governments could cause an increase of social inequality that would lead to a deterioration of population's public health. The aim of this systematic review is to know whether have been variations in suicide cases influenced by the current economic crisis in the countries that have been the subject of a bailout (Greece, Spain, Ireland, Portugal and Cyprus) since the onset of the crisis, in 2008. Moreover, as a second aim, it tries to evaluate whether have existed increases in cases of mental diseases and alcoholism due to the same cause. Methods: A PRISMA-based systematic review was performed. A search protocol was designed in order to be used in 5 databases (Medline, Scopus, WOS, IBECS and CINAHL) and observational studies published between 2005/1/1 and 2014/12/31 were considered. Results: 16 observational studies were selected, with quality evidence levels VI – VII (regular – low). In most of the studies, it was observed an increase in suicides related with the economic crisis, except in 3 articles, in which they showed no changes in the suicide rates during the years of the crisis. All the articles except one concluded the existence of a deterioration of mental health, increases being showed in cases of depression above all. On the other hand, the outcomes were not conclusive in regards to alcoholism. Conclusions: It is observed a relationship between the crisis and the suicides and the deterioration of mental health overall; nevertheless, it is necessary to project more research at this field.

[eu] Sarrera eta helburuak: Gaur egungo krisi ekonomikoak herrialde batzuei gastu sozialaren murrizketa oinartzen diren politikak plantarazi dizkie bere zorrei aurre egiteko. Gobernu batzuek ezarri dituzten herstura politikekin batera atzerapen ekonomikoaren ondorioek gehitze bat eragingo dezakete sozial desberdintasunetan, biztanleen osasun publikoren okerrera egitera intengo litzateke. Berrikuste sistematiko honen helburua suizidioen kasuetan aldaketak izan badira ezagutzea da gaur egongo krisi ekonomikoarengatik, erreskate finantzario bateko objetuak izan diren herrialdeetan (Grezia, Espainia, Irlanda, Portugal eta Zipre) esandako krisiren hasieratik, 2008ko urtean. Halaber, kausa berberarengatik buruzko gaitzen eta alkoholismoaren kasuetan gehitzak izan badira balioztatu nahi izaten da. Metodologia: PRISMA xedapenetan oinartzen den berrikuste sistematikoa. Bilaketa protokolo bat landu zen 5 datu-basetan erabiltzeko (Medline, Scopus, WOS, IBECS eta CINAHL) eta 1/1/2005 – 31/12/2014en bitartean argitaratu ziren behaketa-ikerketak hausnartu ziren. Emaitzak: 16 behaketa-ikerketak hautatu ziren, VI - VII (erregular – baxu) kalitatezko ebidentzia mailekin. Ikerketa gehienetan gehitze bat suizidioetan behatu zen krisi ekomikoari lotutako, 3 ikerketak izan ezik, bertan ez ziren nabarmendu aldaketarik suizidio tasetan krisi urteen bitartean. Artikulu guztiek, bat izan ezik, buruzko gaitzen hondatzea baten izatea ondorioztatu zuten, depresio kasuetan gehitzak nagusiki hartu. Beste aldetatik, emaitzak ez ziren erabakigarriak alkoholismoari buruz. Ondorioak: Orokorrean krisia eta suizidioak eta buruzko gaitzen hondatzea arteko harremana bat behatzen da; hala ere, arlo honetan ikerketa gehiago egitea beharrezkoa da.
