ABSTRACT

El suicidio adolescente es un problema a nivel mundial que ha impulsado diversos esfuerzos de prevención, siendo relevante poder detectar a tiempo el riesgo a edades tempranas. A pesar de que existen diversos instrumentos para este propósito, sobre todo en adultos, en Chile no existe uno validado en población menor a 15 años de edad, donde se ha visto un aumento progresivo del riesgo durante los últimos años. Este estudio es una validación de la escala de suicidalidad OKASHA en población de 10 a 14 años. El instrumento presentó buenas propiedades psicométricas, tanto en la predicción de intentos reales de suicidio como en su correlación con otros predictores de riesgo descritos en la literatura. Debido a su buen poder predictivo, fácil administración y poco tiempo requerido, el instrumento resulta idóneo para ser utilizado en contextos como la atención primaria de salud o en la comunidad, donde la detección oportuna del riesgo y la adecuada derivación son de vital importancia, especialmente en una población donde dicho riesgo ha sido muchas veces invisibilizado y por ende no abordado hasta cometerse el acto propiamente tal.


Adolescent suicide is a worldwide problem that has triggered diverse prevention efforts. Detecting the risk as quickly as possible at an early age is highly relevant. Although there are various instruments that exist for this very purpose, mostly for adults, there is no validated instrument for those under 15 years of age. Incidentally, in the past couple of years this same age group has had an increased risk in this area. This study is a validation of the suicidal scale "OKASHA" for the population between 10 and 14 years old. The instrument presented good psychometric properties in both the prediction of real suicidal attempts and in its correlation with other risk predictors taken from literature. Due to its good predictive ability, easy administration, and the little time that is required, the instrument is ideal for being used in contexts such as in primary healthcare. It can also be used in the community, where detecting risk and referral in a timely fashion are of vital importance, especially in a population where such risk has been made invisible and for this reason, has not been detected until the final act has been accomplished.
