Objectives: to investigate the prevalence of suicidal ideation among health professionals who provide primary care.

Approved by the Ethics Committee under opinion 4.397.30. Results: It was found that 80.7% did not have permanent conflicts with colleagues, had a good relationship with colleagues (87.7%), did not experience moral harassment (73.7%), had low self-esteem (84.2 %) and good relationship with the family (86%), with a prevalence of 3.5% of Suicidal Ideation. Conclusion: the management of health services must know the profile of its servers, in order to improve the health and quality of life of these professionals through strategies that operate as protective factors for the development of Suicidal Ideation.
