El presente estudio se concretó para analizar la capacidad explicativa del apoyo social percibido y el sentido de vida sobre el riesgo suicida en estudiantes universitarios de Lima Metropolitana. Asimismo, la investigación es tipo básica y de diseño no experimental con corte transversal y de nivel correlacional-causal, además, la muestra estuvo conformada por 409 participantes, 152 hombres (37.2%) y 257 mujeres (62.8%). Los instrumentos que se utilizaron fueron: Escala multidimensional de apoyo social percibido (MSPSS), Cuestionario de sentido de vida (CSV), Escala de suicidalidad de Okasha (EOS) y la Escala de veracidad (L). En los resultados, la capacidad explicativa del apoyo social percibido y sentido de vida sobre la variabilidad del riesgo suicida tuvo un efecto grande (R2=.29). En conclusión, en el modelo estructural, se resalta la dimensión familia del apoyo social percibi...

The present study was carried out with the purpose of identifying the predisposing factors of suicide risk in the adult population. For this reason, a systematization of the empirical evidence accumulated in the last 10 years was carried out, based on the search for scientific articles indexed in databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, APA PsycNet and SpringerLink. A sample of 44 documents that met the following inclusion criteria was obtained: empirical research on psychosocial variables and sociodemographic factors related to suicide risk in the adult population, published between 2012 and 2022, available in full text, in Spanish and English. In the same way, the documentary analysis technique was applied and an information matrix was used as an instrument in which the most relevant data of the studies examined were recorded. As results, it was found that the psychosocial var...

The purpose of this instrumental design study was to analyze the psychometric evidence of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) for its application in university students in Metropolitan Lima. A total of 520 students participated, 292 women (56%) and 228 men (44%), between 18 and 61 years of age (M = 24.89, SD = 5.17). The confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable values for the bifactor model: χ2/gl = 4.645, CFI = .99, TLI = .98, SRMR = .027, RMSEA = .084 (90% C.I., .072, .096) and WRMR = .99. Additionally, a value of H = .945, PUC = .727, ECV = .695 and the ωH = .85 were obtained for the general factor. Convergent validity was examined with the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) (r = .50; r2 = .25) and divergent validity with the Test Anxiety Inventory-State (TAI-State) (r = -.32; r2 = .10). In addition, reliability was determined through the ordinal ome...
