Dependencia emocional y su relación con el riesgo suicida en adultos jóvenes

Abstract

The present research work objective was to determine the relationship between emotional dependence and suicide danger in a sample of 200 Ecuadorian university students in the city of Ambato-Ecuador from a quantitative study with a correlational scope, with a cross sectional non-experimental design. The Emotional Dependency Questionnaire (CDE), the ISO-30 Suicidal Orientation Inventory and a sociodemographic file (Google forms) were used as collection data instruments. Among the main findings, a low positive correlation was found (Rho=0.461, p = <.001) between emotional dependence and suicidal danger; likewise, the majority of the population presented absence of emotional dependence (54.0%), and regarding suicide danger in the population, a medium risk was identified (62.0%). A comparison was made regarding the prevalence of suicide danger in relation to gender, where no significant difference was found between women and men. It is concluded that emotional dependence is a risk factor for suicidal behavior.
