RESUMEN
RESUMEN

Introducción:

Alguno estudios comunican tasas de ideación e intento de suicidio en población homosexual más altas que entre heterosexuales. A la fecha no se conocen estudios en Colombia que indaguen los factores de riesgo relacionados con la conducta suicida en población homosexual masculina.

Objetivo:

El objetivo del presente estudio es indagar los factores de riesgo de ideación suicida en varones jóvenes residentes en Bogotá (Colombia) que se autodefinen como homosexuales.

Métodos:

Participaron 175 varones entre 14 y 27 (media, 19,02 ± 2,0) arios, que completaron 2 pruebas, una de ideas suicidas y otra de homofobia internalizada (HI). El muestreo fue no probabilístico tipo bola de nieve.

Resultados:

El 18,4% reportó poca ideación suicida; el 24,6%, un nivel moderado y el 24%, un nivel alto. Las puntuaciones de HI oscilaron entre el mínimo y el máximo esperados (9-45) (media, 21,54 ± 7). Haber sufrido abuso sexual es el principal factor asociado con ideación suicida (odds ratio [OR] =4,02; intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC95%], 1,51-10,67; p = 0,005). Los adolescentes tuvieron 3 veces más riesgo de ideas suicidas que los adultos jóvenes (OR = 3,63; IC95%, 1,35-9,76; p = 0,010). Quienes obtuvieron altas puntuaciones de HI tuvieron el doble de riesgo de ideas suicidas que quienes las tuvieron bajas (OR = 2,11; IC95%, 1,22-3,67; p = 0,008).

Conclusiones:

Los hallazgos concuerdan con investigaciones previas e indican la necesidad de intervenciones preventivas tempranas en procura de una salud sexual libre de coerciones, procurando eliminar la HI mediante terapias afirmativas de la orientación sexual diversa
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Background:

Research shows higher rates of ideation and attempted suicide in the homosexual population compared to their heterosexual counterparts. To date, there are no known studies in Colombia that investigate risk factors related to suicidal behavior in a male homosexual population.

Objective:

The objective of the present study is to investigate the risk factors for suicidal ideation in young men living in Bogota (Colombia) who self-identify as homosexuals.

Methods:

175 males between 14 and 27 (19.02 ± 2.0) years completed two tests, one for suicidal thoughts and one for internalized homophobia (IH). The snowball non-probability sampling technique was used.

Results:

18.4% reported low suicidal ideation, 24.6% a moderate level and 24% declared a high level of suicidal thoughts. IH scores ranged between the expected minimum and maximum (9-45) (21.54 ± 7). Being sexually abused was the main factor associated with suicidal ideation (OR = 4.02; 95%CI, 1.51-10.67; P = 0.005). Adolescents were 3 times more at risk of suicidal thoughts than young adults (OR = 3.63; 95%CI, 1.35-9.76; P = 0.010). High IH scores were twice as likely to experience suicidal thoughts as those with low IH (OR = 2.11; 95%CI, 1.22-3.67; P = 0.008).

Conclusions:

These findings are consistent with previous research and suggest the need for early preventive interventions in pursuit of non-coercive sexual health, seeking the re-examination of IH through affirmative sexual diversity therapies.
