Background: Internet and digital media use have been increasingly associated with depression, self-harm, and suicidal behavior among adolescents.

Objective: This study aimed to map global publication trends on internet use and suicide risk among adolescents from 2021 to 2025.

Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database based on the Population–Concept–Context framework. The search initially retrieved 1,358 records from Scopus DatabaseThe selection process involved duplicate removal, title and abstract screening, and full-text eligibility assessment in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Publication trends, productive countries and institutions, document types, subject areas, and keyword patterns were analyzed. Network visualizations were generated using VOSviewer version 1.6.18.

Results: Publications showed an increasing trend from 2021 to 2025.  Keyword analysis revealed four main themes: digital addictive behavior, post-pandemic adolescent mental health, clinical and social studies, and risk factors related to suicidal behavior. Overlay mapping showed a shift from pandemic-related topics to a stronger focus on internet addiction and the use of standardized instruments such as the PHQ-9. Ethical, privacy, and AI governance issues remained underrepresented.

Conclusion: Research on internet use and suicide risk among adolescents has grown rapidly and shows increasing methodological maturity; however, ethical and governance considerations remain underexplored.

Implications for Nursing: Nurses are well positioned to support early identification, education, and referral for adolescents at risk of suicide related to problematic internet use. These findings highlight the need to integrate standardized screening, digital literacy, and ethical digital mental health approaches into nursing practice.
