| Abstract | Resumen : El suicidio constituye un problema mundial de salud publica, realizandose esfuerzos de prevencion, especialmente en poblacion adolescente. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar la conducta suicida y sus factores de riesgo en estudiantes de la provincia de Concepcion, Chile. Se examinaron variables sociodemograficas, familiares, abuso de sustancias, suicidalidad, autoestima, depresion, desesperanza, funcionalidad familiar, impulsividad y acontecimientos vitales. A partir de 919 participantes se obtuvo una prevalencia de vida del intento de suicidio de 14.3%. Los resultados de los auto-informes que se aplicaron indican que la mayoria de los factores de riesgo analizados fueron asociados al intento de suicidio. Sin embargo, en el analisis multivariado solamente ingresaron el consumo de tabaco, la ideacion suicida tanto reciente como antigua y los acontecimientos vitales. Estos resultados indican la necesidad de tener en cuenta estos cuatro factores, posicionandose en un lugar prioritario al momento de identificar el riesgo suicida. Abstract : Suicide attempt and risk factors among adolescent students of Chile . Suicide is a global public health problem, therefore prevention efforts are being implemented, especially in the adolescent population. The aim of this study was to characterize suicidal behavior and risk factors among students in the province of Concepcion, Chile. Sociodemographic variables were examined, as were substance abuse, suicidality, self-esteem, depression, hopelessness, family functioning, impulsivity and life experiences. With 919 participants, the lifetime occurrence of suicide attempt was 14.3%. The self reports used indicate that most of the risk factors previously mentioned were associated with suicide attempt. However, from the multivariate analysis, the only significant risk factors were tobacco consumption, both recent and previous suicidal ideation and life events. These results indicate the need to consider these four factors as primary when identifying risk of suicide. |
