RESUMEN
Resumen El objetivo fue identificar las asociaciones entre apoyo social percibido, riesgo suicida y presencia de enfermedad crónica no transmisible en estudiantes universitarios. Utilizando un diseño de casos y controles, con 41 estudiantes universitarios por grupo. La mediana de edad fue de 22 años (R = 9), un 81,8% eran mujeres, el 26,8% de los sujetos tenía Asma y el 26,8% Hipotiroidismo, y el 63,6% pertenecía a la Facultad de Educación. No se comprobó la asociación entre enfermedad crónica, apoyo social, ni tampoco con riesgo suicida. Hay asociación indirecta entre riesgo suicida y apoyo social, no así cuando se evalúa el intento de suicidio previo. El nivel de riesgo suicida y apoyo social se asocian independiente de la presencia de enfermedad crónica. Esperamos que nuestros resultados permitan fomentar el apoyo social como una herramienta fundamental para la prevención de la suicidabilidad, especialmente en sujetos con enfermedad crónica.
ABSTRACT
Abstract The objective was to identify associations between perceived social support, suicidal risk and the presence of chronic or communicable disease in university students. Using a case-control design, consisting of 41 subjects in each group. The median age was 22 years (R = 9), 81,8% were women, 26,8% of the subjects had asthma and 26,8% had hypothyroidism, 63,6% were students of the faculties of Education. The association between chronic disease and social support was not proven, nor was there a suicidal risk. There is an indirect association between suicide risk and social support, not so when assessing the previous suicide attempt. The levels of suicide risk and social support are associated, independent of an existing chronic disease. We are hopeful that our results will be effective in promoting social support as a basic tool for suicide prevention, especially in subjects with chronic disease.
