Resumen

Introducción. El suicidio representa la decimosexta causa de muerte en todo el mundo. A partir del 2008, sabemos la tasa de suicidios en los soldados estadounidenses comenzó a superar a la de la población civil. Hasta donde sabemos no hay estudios que describan la conducta suicida en militares mexicanos.

Objetivo. Estimar la frecuencia de la ideación suicida y el intento de suicidio en los últimos 12 meses en militares navales mexicanos y determinar las variables asociadas con la ideación y el intento de suicidio.

Método. El estudio transversal incluyó 246 pacientes ambulatorios enviados para una evaluación psiquiátrica. Se realizó una entrevista psiquiátrica utilizando los criterios diagnósticos de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades en su décima edición, que incluyó la presentación de ideación suicida e intento de suicidio en los últimos 12 meses.

Resultados. La frecuencia en los últimos 12 meses de ideación suicida e intento de suicidio fue de 24.39% y 9.76%, respectivamente. Las variables asociadas con la ideación suicida fueron: grado militar (clases y marinería, p = .03), antecedente familiar de suicidio (p < .01), diagnóstico de trastorno depresivo (p < .01) y trastorno de la personalidad (p < .01). En cuanto a la presentación del intento de suicidio, la edad media en los casos fue menor (p < .01). Hubo una mayor frecuencia de intentos de suicidio en personas solteras o sin pareja (p < .01), en personal con cuatro años o menos en servicio (p < .01) y en pacientes con trastorno de personalidad (p < .01).

Discusión y conclusión. Se requiere un mayor énfasis en la detección de problemas de salud mental en la población militar y estudios más representativos a nivel nacional.
