Abstract

RODRIGUEZ ESCOBAR, Adalberto; MEDINA-PEREZ, Óscar Adolfo; ROZO DAVID, Andrés José  and  SANCHEZ GARCIA, Sandra. IDEACIÓN SUICIDA Y FACTORES ASOCIADOS EN UN GRUPO DE POLICÍAS DE PEREIRA-COLOMBIASUICIDAL IDEATION AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS IN A GROUP OF POLICEMEN FROM PEREIRA, COLOMBIA. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.2, pp.411-420. ISSN 1657-8031.

The objective of this research was to identify the suicidal ideation in a group of policemen from Pereira. That is why it was conducted a cross-sectional analysis quantitative research; the ISO 30 questionnaire was given, and a survey of characterization in one hundred and thirtyseven policemen were given. Those who presented high ideation corresponded to 2.9%. The highest percentages of high ideation arose among those who lived alone, corresponded to 11.1% and those who had previous suicide attempt, corresponded to 25.0% suicide attempt, although a statistically significant association was found only in the former (p= 0,048 and rp 12.2). Despite having found ideation levels lower than those in the general population, it is recommended that the institution strengthened its intervention and support programs.
