The main purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between obsessivecompulsive symptomatology and suicidal ideation in a large at random sample (n=1525) drawn from the adolescent student population census of Barcelona. Another aim is to study the presence of obsessive-compulsive symptomatology (OCS) in that population. There is little infomiation on the possible relationship between OCS and suicidal ideation, and many of the exísting papers are centered on the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Under such conditions, the existence of a possible relationship between OCS and suicidal ideation becomes a really interesting subject. Results show, as expected, that subjects with high OCS display more suicidal ideation than normal control subjects. Possible clinical implications of ourfindings and strategies forthe precocious identificación of suicidal behaviour in high risk children are discussed.
El objetivo principal de este estudio es determinar la relación entre la sintomatologfa obsesivo-compulsiva (SOC) y la ideación suicida en una muestra elegida al azar (n=1525) proveniente de la población de estudiantes de 8° de EGB de la ciudad de Barcelona. Por otra parte, se estudiará la presencia de dicha síntomatología en la población origen de la muestra. La relación entre la alta SOC y la ideación suicida ha sido fuente de pocas investigaciones, las cuales frecuentemente se han centrado en el trastorno Obsesivo-compulsivo (TOO) y su relación con la conducta suicida. Es por ello que el estudio de la relación entre la alta SOC y ideación suicida no está exento de interés por el carácter novedoso del mismo. Los resultados indican que, tal y como se establecía en la hipótesis principal del trabajo, aquellos sujetos que cuyas puntuaciones son más elevadas en la escala que mide SOC presentan mayor ideación suicida. Se discute la posible implicación que dicho hallazgo supone en el marco de la práctica clínica y se establecen posibles estrategias para prevenir e identificar precozmente la conducta suicida en sujetos de alto riesgo.
