Intervenciones de enfermería en la prevención de conductas de riesgo en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

Adolescence is a difficult stage of development, both for the adolescent and for those with whom he lives; because they are individuals who are in the transition between childhood and adulthood, who seek identification and want to be part of groups with common interests. In this period they feel rejections that can eventually lead them to adopt habits that endanger their well-being, and even their lives. An observational epidemiological study of a cross-sectional descriptive nature was carried out in which the Depression Inventory and the Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale were applied to 208 university students between 18 and 22 years of age, students in the first and second semester of the Nursing career. in the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato, with the purpose of detecting the inclination to risk behaviors to propose interventions that allow reducing the influential factors and preventing them in said population. The results show that although the respondents are highly depressed, they did not show suicidal intentions; which led to propose some actions with the intention of knowing the dangers in time and anticipating future events to avoid them.
