Resumen

GUIBERT REYES, Wilfredo  y  DEL CUETO DE INASTRILLA, Eloísa R.. Factores psicosociales de riesgo de la conducta suicida. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2003, vol.19, n.5, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3038.

An analytical case-control study was performed on patients who had been reported with attempted suicides from January 1998 to December 1999 in "Reina" and "Van Troi" polyclinics located in Centro Habana municipality. The objective was to compare them to supposedly healthy persons as to essential psychosocial risk factors of suicidal behavior. 46 patients and 92 controls were studied. They were administered a tailored-made questionnaire of risk indicators and the results were processed by percentage analysis and Odd ratio stadigraph. It was concluded that there are significant differences between supposedly healthy persons and persons with attempted suicide as to the studied psychosocial factors; additionally it was found that factors such as feelings of hopelessness and guilty, major depression, hostility, impulsiveness, history of attempted suicides, lack of family and social support and suicidal threats or projects are significantly related with suicidal behavior whereas history of family suicide has no causality relation with such a behavior. We recommend using the applied questionnaire as a diagnostic tool for suicidal risk.
