RESUMEN
El estudio de los comportamientos que preceden al suicidio es importante no sólo por su asociación con éste sino por su impacto en la calidad de vida (CV). Dada la escasez de información sobre esta relación en adolescentes, el objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la asociación de los comportamientos de riesgo de suicidio y la CV, según género en adolescentes estudiantes de preparatoria mexicanos. Es un estudio transversal, en participantes de 14 a 18 años de edad. Se utilizó una versión traducida del Youth Risk Behavior Survey y la versión en español del Youth Quality of Life Instrument - Research version. Se aplicaron pruebas no paramétricas. Se pidió consentimiento informado a padres y estudiantes y se obtuvo aprobación de Comité de ética. Se consideró el modelo de desarrollo transaccional del comportamiento suicida de la juventud de Brigde et al. El análisis por separado para mujeres y hombres, mostró los comportamientos de riesgo de suicidio asociados con CV, y fue el comportamiento de haberse sentido triste o sin esperanza, el que presentó en general los tamaños de efecto mayores. Los modelos de regresión evidencian que algunos comportamientos de riesgo de suicidio aumentan la posibilidad de una CV inferior aún después de ajustar por covariables.
ABSTRACT
The study of pre-suicidal behaviors is important not only because of their association with suicide but also because of their impact on quality of life (QOL). Given the scarcity of information regarding this relationship in adolescence, the objective of this study was to analyze the association between suicidal-related behavior and QOL according to gender in adolescent Mexican high school students. This cross-sectional study was conducted with participants between 14 and 18 years of age. A translated version of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey and the Spanish version of the Youth Quality of Life Research - Instrument version were used. Non-parametric tests were applied. Informed consent was obtained from parents and students, and ethical committee approval was sought. The developmental-transactional model of suicidal behavior in adolescents by Bridge et al. was used. Separate analyses were conducted for males and females to show the suicidal-related behaviors associated with QOL. The behavior of having felt sad or hopeless generally presented the greatest effect sizes. The regression models showed that some suicidal-related behaviors increase the probability of a lower QOL even after adjusting for covariates.
