Abstract
El suicidio es una de las principales causas de muerte evitable. La detección temprana de personas en riesgo es fundamental para reducir el número de fallecidos. En este estudio se ha desarrollado una escala para identificar el riesgo suicida, teniendo en cuenta no solo factores de riesgo, sino también las Fortalezas Personales del sujeto. El instrumento consta de 30 ítems y está orientado para su uso por parte de agentes sociales. Su diseño se testó en 95 usuarios de los servicios sociales, mostrando una alta consistencia interna (α = .83). La validez del constructo se evaluó mediante la fiabilidad test-retest del instrumento, mostrando una alta fiabilidad (α = .72).
Suicide is one of the main causes of preventable death, so there is a great need to assess possible cases at risk. In this study, a scale has been developed to identify suicidal risk, taking into account not only risk factors but also personal strengths of the subject. The instrument consists of 30 items and is intended for use by social agents. Its design was tested on 95 users of social services showing a high internal consistency (alpha=.83). The validity of the construct was evaluated by the test-retest reliability of the instrument, showing a high reliability (alpha=.72).
