- Abstract
Introduction: Suicide is a growing public health problem. This study aims to analyze suicidal ideation, planning, and/or behavior in relation to sociodemographic factors, mental health status, and use of social media, comparing a group of people with suicidal behavior and those without suicidal behavior, matched by sex and age. Methodology: A comparative longitudinal descriptive study was carried out. The outcome variable was suicidal behavior. Sociodemographic, mental health, and social media use variables were also collected. Chi-square and Student's T statistics were used and multivariate logistic regression was performed. Results: 102 subjects participated, 51 of them with suicidal ideation or attempt, and 51 of them without suicidal ideation. Significant differences were found between these groups in terms of sociodemographic variables and history of psychiatric diagnoses. According to the multivariate analysis, the factors associated with self-injurious behavior are: not being working (studying, unemployed, retired, or with a temporary or permanent disability) (B: 1.193, Odds ratio: 3.298), having a depressive episode in the previous year (B: -2.350, Odds ratio: 0.095), and an anxiety disorder (B: -1.659, Odds ratio: 0.190). The model has a Cox and Snell R-squared of 0.418. Conclusions: These results confirm the existence of a profile of people who may exhibit suicidal behavior. The different patterns of use of social media can be useful for instantaneous ecological risk assessment.
