Resumen
Introducción: El suicidio se encuentra entre las principales causas de muerte en adolescentes y posee una tendencia en aumento. El intento de suicidio constituye el factor de riesgo más importante de suicidio. Objetivo: analizar las similitudes y diferencias en factores de riesgo y protección asociados al intento de suicidio en adolescentes escolarizados de13 y 17 años en Argentina (2018), Bolivia (2018) y Uruguay (2019) según género. Materiales y métodos: Se utilizó la Encuesta Mundial de Salud Escolar (GSHS) desarrollada por la OMS. Se analizaron diversos factores de riesgo y protección y su interacción con el género. Se aplicaron modelos de regresión logística. Resultados: Se observa en los tres países patrones similares; la exposición a ciertos factores (como experimentar sentimientos de soledad, falta de amigos, insomnio, haber atravesado situaciones de estrés y violencia) aumenta el riesgo de experimentar un intento de suicidio, a la vez que una buena relación con los padres, por ejemplo, se asocia a un menor riesgo. Además, se muestra que el impacto de cada uno de estos es diferente en varones y mujeres. Conclusión: Los resultados muestran la necesidad de implementar políticas para el abordaje de la problemática desde una perspectiva de género, generacional y territorial.
Introduction: Suicide is among the leading causes of death in adolescents and shows an increasing trend. Suicide attempts are the most important risk factor for suicide. Objective: To analyze the similarities and differences in risk and protective factors associated with suicide attempts among school-attending adolescents aged 13 to 17 in Argentina (2018), Bolivia (2018), and Uruguay (2019), according to gender. Materials and methods: Data were obtained from the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) developed by the WHO. Various risk and protective factors and their interaction with gender were analyzed. Logistic regression models were applied. Results: Similar patterns were observed across the three countries; exposure to certain factors—such as feelings of loneliness, lack of friends, insomnia, experiences of stress and violence—increased the likelihood of suicide attempts. In contrast, positive relationships with parents, for instance, were associated with a lower risk. Moreover, the impact of each factor differed between boys and girls. Conclusion: The findings highlight the need to implement policies to address this issue from gender, generational, and territorial perspectives.
