Suicide appears to be a growing problem worldwide. For this reason, various practices in psychology try to intervene in this problem through the discovery of a meaning of life. The objective of this research was to identify the relationship between the meaning of life and suicidal ideation in male adults who use psychoactive substances. The sample consisted of 151 male adults between 18 and 62 years old (M = 23, SD = 9.7) who consume psychoactive substances and belong to two rehabilitation centers in Lima-Peru. Likewise, two instruments were applied: the Crumbaugh and Maholick Meaning of Life Test (PIL) and the Beck Scale of Suicidal Ideation (SSI), of which the psychometric properties were adapted and described for said sample. The results show that between the sense of life and suicidal ideation there is a statistically significant negative correlation (rho = -. 425) with a medium effect size (Ferguson, 2009). Furthermore, the results of the exploratory factor analysis indicate a one-dimensional internal structure for both tests with a single explained variance of 40.7% for the SSI and 41.01% for the PIL; significant internal consistency coefficients were found for the PIL (¿ = .87) and the SSI (¿ = .84) and; based on the information collected, general scales were made for the analysis and interpretation of the scores derived from similar samples.
