Nivel de resiliencia y riesgo suicida en las pacientes de la Unidad infanto-juvenil del Instituto Psiquiátrico “Sagrado Corazón

In Ecuador, the incidence of suicide is high in accordance with international statistics, at present also because of the tendency towards family breakdown, adolescence becomes a vulnerable population due to the experienced shortages and poor resilience. Therefore, the present investigation is directed to describe the influence of the resilience level in the suicide risk; it starts from a non-experimental cross-sectional design, applied in a non-probabilistic sample determined by inclusion and exclusion criteria, composed of twenty female adolescent patients treated in the Child-Youth Unit of the "Sacred Heart" Psychiatric Institute in Quito city. Two quantifiable instruments were used: The Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale, and the Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale, as results gotten were: 70% of adolescents show low levels of resilience, 25% average levels, and 5% high levels. Likewise, 90% of adolescents are at a tentative suicide risk, while the remaining 10% are not. In addition, the correlation analysis performed in the statistical package SPSS 24.0 showed that there is a significant correlation between the level of resilience and the presence of suicide risk. This study determining that, a lower resilience level; the risk of suicidal ideation or act in adolescents increases; this correlation being inversely applied, it proposes that when there is higher level of resilience, the suicide risk is lower.
