Item PROCRASTINACIÓN ACADÉMICA Y RIESGO SUICIDA EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS(2025-03-05) Castro Castro, Jennifer Anahel; Vargas Espín, Alba del Pilar; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaThe purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between the dimensions of academic procrastination and suicidal risk in university students; the study was a non-experimental, quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptivecorrelational, quantitative approach. The sample included 498 students from an Ecuadorian university, selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The Academic Procrastination Scale (EPA) and Plutchik's Suicide Risk Scale were used. A low negative correlation was found between self-regulation and suicidal risk (Rho = -0.201, p < .001), and a very low positive correlation between procrastination and suicidal risk (Rho = 0.198, p < .001). In the academic selfregulation dimension, the medium level (43.8%) and the high level in procrastination (50.6%) predominated; the absence of suicidal risk prevailed (60.4%). There were significant differences according to sex (p= 0.010), women had a higher mean score (5.09) of suicidal risk than men (4.33). It is concluded that there are significant relationships between the dimensions of academic procrastination and suicidal risk. Specifically, the greater the academic selfregulation, the lower the suicidal risk, while the greater the procrastination, the higher the suicidal risk.Item APOYO SOCIAL Y RIESGO SUICIDA EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS(2025-03-05) Velasteguí Velasteguí Eduardo Gabriel; García Ramos Diana Carolina; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaSocial support is made up of various practical and emotional resources which a person perceives in different ways, the same that are a protective factor for suicidal risk, the lack or inadequate perception of support can cause discomfort in various dimensions, being a risk factor for suicide. The present research aims to determine the relationship between perceived social support and suicidal risk in university students, with a population of 99 students, 12 belong to the female sex and 87 to the male sex. The study is quantitative, correlational, non-experimental and cross-sectional. The instruments applied were the MOS Perceived Social Support Questionnaire and the Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale. The results show that there is a significant correlation between social support and suicidal risk (Rho(97)= -0.259 p<0.05), which indicates that the higher the social support, the lower the suicidal risk; in addition, there was a high level of social support and a low percentage of suicidal risk in the participants. It was also found that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores in suicidal risk (U=323 p<0.05) between women (M=6.42) and men (H=4.03).Item RESILIENCIA Y RIESGO SUICIDA: UN ESTUDIO COMPARATIVO ENTRE VOLUNTARIOS Y NO VOLUNTARIOS(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2024-09-09) Velasco Macias, Ivon Nicol; Vargas Espín, Alba Del PilarThis study aims to compare resilience and suicide risk among volunteers and non-volunteers, in response to the growing increase of suicides in the world and in the Ecuadorian context. A quantitative análisis methodology was applied, descriptive in scope and with a cross-sectional design. In addition, data were collected from 288 volunteers from a non-governmental organization and 701 young people who did not volunteer, using Plutchick's Suicide Risk Scale and Wagnild and Young's Resilience Scale. The results indicated significant differences in resilience between volunteers and non-volunteers (p<.001), showing greater resilience in the first group; however, no significant differences were observed in suicidal risk (p = 0941). This would suggest that volunteering could enhance resilience in those individuals who do not participate in volunteer activities, which has important implications for the design of interventions aimed at strengthening resilience in various social settings.Item Flexibilidad psicológica y riesgo suicida en estudiantes universitarios(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2023-03-01) Jarrín Núñez, Coralía Monserrath; Ponce Delgado, Agueda del Rocío Dra. Mg.Psychological flexibility is the ability to get in touch with the present, feelings and thoughts, generating adaptation to the demands of each circumstance by changing behaviors according to the subject's goals and values; while suicidal risk is that determinant (social, family and/or personal) that increases the possibility that a subject will attempt a suicidal act in the near future or at any time in his or her life. Psychological flexibility can be considered as a predisposing factor for suicidal risk, so the objective was to determine the relationship that may exist between psychological flexibility and suicidal risk in university students. The sample consisted of 300 students of Clinical Laboratory and Nutrition and Dietetics of a public university in Ecuador, with 26.3% of men and 73.7% of women and ages between 18 and 29 years old. The research had a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational and cross-sectional approach. The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II) and Inventory of Suicide Orientation (ISO-30) were used and showed a moderate positive relationship between psychological flexibility and suicidal risk (rho = 0.706, p <0.001), and it was also found that there was no statistically significant difference between men and women, and the medium suicidal risk predominated. In conclusion, there was a direct relationship, i.e., the greater the psychological inflexibility of the university student, the greater the suicidal risk.
