Resumen
El suicidio es un problema de Salud Pública, sus consecuencias causan
gran impacto a nivel social, psicológico y económico; se encuentra entre las primeras
causas de morbimortalidad sobre todo en los adolescentes, y las tasas de muerte, a pesar
de las medidas preventivas, han ido en ascenso. La OMS reporta que, más de 800 mil
personas mueren por suicidio cada año, y muchas más intentan suicidarse. El objetivo
del presente estudio es conocer las causas que llevan al aumento de la intencionalidad
suicida en pacientes con patología psiquiátrica e intentos de autolisis internados en el
Instituto de Neurociencias de la Ciudad de Guayaquil. Se trata de un Estudio
descriptivo, de tipo No experimental, de corte transversal, y retrospectivo, en donde,
según los principales resultados, se encontró que hay un predominio de mujeres en
relación a los hombres, que el estresor más importante fue provenir de un hogar
disfuncional, el desempleo y la infidelidad conyugal, mientras que la patología mental
más frecuentemente encontrada fue la Depresión Mayor.
Es importante identificar a la población vulnerable, destacar la necesidad
de sensibilizar a padres, maestros, médicos de familia, sobre la vital importancia de
detectar tempranamente los factores del riesgo de suicidio para poder establecer un
diagnóstico y tratamiento correcto y oportuno.
