Evaluación del riesgo suicida en población universitaria indígena: un estudio transversal en la Universidad de Guadalajara
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This study aimed to analyze suicide risk among Indigenous students at the Centro Universitario del Norte (CUNorte) during the 2025-B academic term. A quantitative, nonexperimental, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted using a nonprobability purposive sample of 229 Indigenous students enrolled in undergraduate degree and engineering programs at CUNorte. Data were collected using the six-item short version of the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS, 2024), which showed an internal consistency coefficient of α = .871. Data were analyzed using SPSS, version 22. The results showed that 73.8% of participants were classified as having low suicide risk, whereas 26.2% presented moderate or high levels. The mean age was 21.6 years; female participants predominated, and 72.5% were single. Although low suicide risk predominated, a subgroup of students showed psychological vulnerability requiring priority attention. The findings support strengthening institutional prevention strategies, psychological support, and mental health promotion within the university community through an intercultural approach.
