Sin embargo, son limitados los estudios que dan cuenta de la dimensión subjetiva de ambos hechos. El objetivo del trabajo fue identificar situaciones de violencia doméstica en mujeres adultas que han intentado suicidarse y el estado afectivo asociado a dicha violencia. Participaron veinte mujeres con intento de suicidio reciente. Se aplicó una entrevista semiestructurada cada una. Los hallazgos se organizaron en los siguientes códigos: descripciones de los hechos de violencia doméstica; relación entre violencia sufrida y la tentativa suicida; deber de ayudar a otros a pesar de su estado emocional; violencia internalizada; aislamiento y vacío como emociones asociadas al suicidio y la violencia; el suicidio como solución a la violencia doméstica. Estas vivencias ante la violencia doméstica se sustentan en valores familiares y de género compartidos de forma cultural que vulneran emocionalmente a las mujeres. Universidad de Guanajuato2015-09-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por paresEstudio descriptivo, transversal y cualitativo.application/pdfhttps://www.actauniversitaria.ugto.mx/index.php/acta/article/view/88610.15174/au.2015.886Acta Universitaria; Vol. 25 (2015): (NE-2) Conducta Suicida; 57-61Acta Universitaria; Vol. 25 (2015): (NE-2) Conducta Suicida; 57-612007-96210188-6266reponame:Acta Universitariainstname:UNIVERSIDAD DE GUANAJUATOinstacron:UGTOspahttps://www.actauniversitaria.ugto.mx/index.php/acta/article/view/886/pdf_92info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:www.actauniversitaria.ugto.mx:article/8862024-08-16T21:06:33Z
