La conducta suicida es un problema de salud pública mundial, y una población en la que se presentan altos índices de prevalencia es la de estudiantes de Medicina, especialmente en el componente de ideación. Diversos modelos han intentado explicarla, pero son pocos los estudios inferenciales en población colombiana. Los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales utilizados en ciencias sociales resultan apropiados para explicar este problema y su poder analítico permite realizar generalizaciones con cierto grado de precisión. Estos análisis requieren una gran cantidad de datos para una estimación robusta, lo que limita su utilidad cuando hay restricciones para acceder a los datos, como sucede actualmente a causa de la COVID-19, y una cuestión que destaca en estos modelos es la evaluación del ajuste. Mediante un conjunto de 1.200 datos simulados, se encontró un adecuado ajuste del modelo a los datos (
; CFI = 0,97; GFI0= 0,97; TLI = 0,97; RMSEA = 0,04 [0,042-0,046]; SRMR = 0,06) para los predictores depresión y carga percibida, cuyos análisis se realizaron en el programa JASP. Se discute el papel de la pertenencia frustrada, la conveniencia del instrumento para evaluarla y consideraciones de seguimiento, evaluación e intervención de la ideación suicida en estudiantes de Medicina.
Background:The experience of pain has physical, cognitive, affective and behavioral manifestations; however, its evaluation is usually oriented to aspects such as intensity and location, leaving out other equally relevant attributes. Its evaluation is a complex task because of its nature and the few tools to make assessments, especially in the cancer population. Objective: To carry out a systematic review to identify the different ways of evaluating chronic/oncological pain in patients under 18 years of age. Material and methods: Following the PRISMA method (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), the search was carried out in three databases. Results: 27 articles were analyzed. The most used instruments evaluate various aspects in the sensory/discriminative dimension, especially co-administered and, to a lesser extent, the others. Discussion: There is a need for instruments that evaluate the entire subjective experience of pain, considering their technological development convenient to improve the opportunity to access medical care.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
