Metodología: El tipo de estudio fue observacional, analítico, correlacional. También tuvo un diseño transversal retrospectivo. Se utilizó datos de la ENDES 2018. La cobertura de la población objetivo es representada por la muestra que se determinó mediante conglomerados de viviendas seleccionadas al 100% en las 24 regiones del país y la Provincia Constitucional del Callao. El tamaño muestra está compuesto por las unidades de análisis encuestadas en 36,760 viviendas. Fueron considerados en el estudio datos de 7487 casos madre-hijo.

Introduction and Aim: Suicide and harmful alcohol consumption are major health problems, especially in medical students. This study aimed to evaluate the association between risk for alcohol abuse and suicide risk in medical interns of Peruvian hospitals. Design and Methods: We conducted a multicentre cross-sectional study in medical interns from 18 Peruvian hospitals. We measured suicide risk, risk for alcohol abuse, depression and self-esteem using the Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale, CAGE, Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, respectively. We used χ2 and Student t-tests for descriptive analysis. To evaluate the association between risk for alcohol abuse and suicide risk we generated crude and adjusted Poisson regression models with robust variance and estimated prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Results: We surveyed 433 medical interns. The pre...

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of depression and abuse and identify the associatedfactors in medical interns in Peruvian hospitals.Methods: We conducted a multicentre, cross-sectional and analytical study during themonths of March to May 2016. We included medical interns from 18 Peruvian hospitals,in Lima and provinces. We used a survey that included sociodemographic data and a scaleto measure the perception of abuse (psychological, physical and sexual). In addition, weused the Spanish version of the PHQ-9 to evaluate depression. We used Poisson regressionwith robust variances to calculate prevalence ratios (PRs).Results: A total of 402 medical interns participated in the study, the median age was 25[IQR: 21–33], and 52.7% were male. Moreover, 25.4% of them suffered from depression. In theadjusted model, the variables associated with depression were age (PRa = 1.15), the numbero...
