| Summary: | University students are considered a vulnerable group to the presence of suicidal ideation. The objective of this study was to analyze the goodness of fit of the main proximal and contextual factors, based on the biopsychosocial model by Turecki et al., in a sample of university students from the central-western region of Mexico. Suicidal ideation, family function, and the main proximal and contextual factors of the model were evaluated in 165 university students. The goodness of fit of the proximal and contextual risk factors for suicidal ideation was analyzed using a structural equation model. An excellent absolute and incremental fit and an adequate parsimony fit were observed in the proposed model. The following were identified as risk factors: social isolation, emotional dysregulation, depressive symptoms, hopelessness, and family function. It is concluded that the fit of the proposed model suggests that these proximal and contextual factors can be used as references for the identification and addressing of suicidal ideation in university students. |
