Abstract:

The study aims to evaluate the presence of suicidal ideation and depressive symptomspredictors in adolescentsChiapas, Mexico. The study is cross-sectional, ex post facto. We applied Suicidal ideation scales, Depression Center for Epidemiologic Studies, Impulsivity and Self-esteem, to a nonrandom sample of 4,759 students of both sexes, with an average age of 18.4 years. The results indicate that the average score for suicidal ideation (0.2) is less that registered in other studies, as depressive symptoms, is similar. The prevalence of suicidal ideation is 7.8%, below the rates mentioned in the national and international levels. The multivariable logistic regression models for suicidal ideation, confirm that impulsivity and depressive symptoms, they make almost double increase (OR = 1.907) and nine times (OR = 9.006), respectively. Clearly, the close relationship between suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms indicates the importance that has as a predictor of their presence in adolescents.
