Suicidio, Estigma, Género, Edad, ActitudesResumen
Este estudio transversal tuvo como objetivo analizar la asociación entre el género, la edad y las actitudes estigmatizadoras hacia el suicidio. Se seleccionó una muestra no probabilística de 344 individuos de la población portuguesa de entre 16 y 66 años. Los datos fueron recogidos a través de un cuestionario y posteriormente analizados con análisis de frecuencias y la prueba del Chi-cuadrado. Los resultados sugieren que más hombres revelaron actitudes estigmatizadoras. Sin embargo, el efecto de género fue más evidente en los adolescentes que en los adultos. También se encontró un efecto de la edad, mostrando que los adultos tienen actitudes más estigmatizadoras que los adolescentes, pero este efecto fue más evidente dentro del género femenino. Además, todos los participantes consideraron que los que intentan suicidarse deberían someterse a psicoterapia. Estos resultados sugieren que el género y la edad son variables relevantes en el desarrollo de medidas de prevención del suicidio centradas en reducir el estigma y promover la búsqueda de ayuda.
