NICHO-ALMONACID, Tracy Lucyana; MELENDREZ-UGARTE, Dayanna Solange e OLIVAS-UGARTE, Lincol Orlando. Explanatory Model of Suicidal Risk in University Students of Metropolitan Lima. liber. [online]. 2024, vol.30, n.1, pp.33-51. Epub 29-Fev-2024. ISSN 1729-4827. http://dx.doi.org/10.24265/liberabit.2024.v30n1.743.
Background:
Suicide is a major public health problem. Therefore, it is important to have studies that allow us to better understand this complex phenomenon.
Objective:
To analyze the joint explanatory capacity of perceived social support and meaning in life on the variability of suicidal risk in university students from Metropolitan Lima.
Method:
415 university students participated, 259 women (62.4%) and 156 men (37.6%), aged 18 to 57 years (M = 23.07, SD = 5.46).
Results:
The structural regression analysis showed adequate fit indices: χ2/gl = 2.531 (< 5), CFI = .942 (≥ .90), TLI = .932 (≥ .90), SRMR = .045 and RMSEA = .061. Likewise, the magnitude of the squared multiple correlation (R2 = .30) shows that this model has an explanatory capacity of approximately 30% of the variance in suicide risk.
Conclusion:
The evidence shows that perceived social support and meaning in life act as protective factors against suicidal risk in Lima university students.
