Abstract: This study aims to investigate the association between post-traumatic stress patterns and resilience with suicidal ideation among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional nature and an exploratory and descriptive design, using secondary data obtained from a broader research project on the impacts of COVID-19 on the general population. The sample consisted of 682 participants over the age of 18, of different genders, all university students. Data were collected through an online form composed of a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), the Revised Impact of Event Scale (IES-R), and the Suicide Risk Assessment Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 software. A cluster analysis was conducted to group the students according to their levels of resilience and post-traumatic stress. The results indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between the expected and observed frequencies across all variables compared. In all cases, the observed frequencies in Cluster 1 were lower than expected for responses indicating the presence of suicidal or parasuicidal thoughts, suggesting a significant reduction in such thoughts. In Cluster 2, the observed frequencies were higher than expected for the same responses, indicating a significant increase in the presence of suicidal or parasuicidal thoughts.
