Se realizó un estudio cualitativo con el objetivo de construir un modelo conceptual de la experiencia relacionada con la propia conducta suicida. Para esto se realizaron 20 entrevistas a pacientes hospitalizados por intento o por ideación suicida, las que se analizaron utilizando la técnica de la Teoría Fundamentada. En los resultados se destaca la percepción del propio riesgo suicida como un proceso, con eventos de largo plazo, del último año y un evento desencadenante. Además, identifican factores protectores, enfatizando los vínculos de calidad. La entrevista se constituyó en una intervención en sí misma durante la crisis, lo que permite aportar para la elaboración de la crisis suicida. Los hallazgos permitieron realizar una reflexión e hipótesis para guiar nuevos estudios cuantitativos.
To build a conceptual model to understand how patients perceived their suicide risk, a qualitative study was conducted. A clinical sample consisting of 20 patients, who were admitted to a psychiatric unit for suicide ideation or a suicide attempt, were interviewed. Interviews were analyzed through Grounded Theory Technique. The results highlight the individual perception of the own suicide risk as a process linking last year events to a more recent triggering event. Protective factors emphasizing quality bonds were also identified. The interview was perceived by the patients, as an intervention by itself in a moment of crisis, allowing them to elaborate on the psychological underpinnings of the suicide ideation. These findings might help to develop new hypothesis of suicide behavior, as well as guidance for quantitative studies.
