- W1787810803 abstract "SUMMARYSuicide occurrence is ever more often amongst 15-24-year-oldyoungsters, and it ranks as the second or third cause of death insome countries. Likewise, suicide attempts are more frequent amongstteenagers than amongst any other age group.Several studies agree that the portion of population with thehighest suicide risk is that ranging from ages 15 to 24 and that Mexicois one of the countries wherein this trend, and suicide in general, ismore rapidly increasing. On the other hand, almost 5% of all thecountry’s suicides take place in the State of Guanajuato.The process of suicide is a complex and dynamic one that goesthrough a series of stages before culminating in the life-ending act.These phases, from merely picturing the idea to brandishing it as averbal threat, planning and executing it, may very well be identifiedin advance, hence allowing for adequate intervention. Therefore,understanding suicide dynamics and identifying risk factors reducethe likelihood of suicide in specific populations: this is the core ofsuicide prevention. Such prevention programs take place within theevery day environment of the people to whom they are targeted andtheir efficiency increase as the acknowledgement of both their needsand resources is more precise. It is because of this, and as a responseto the lack of information pertaining suicide prevention programs inMexico, that this report is presented. It stems from a preventiveexperience amongst high school youths in the State of Guanajuato.The aim of the aforementioned preventive workshop was toawaken risk prevention amongst high school students through apsycho-educative strategy. The workshop, called «Saving Lives»,inspired in the «Gatekeeper» model and based on previous studiesof that same population, consisted of ten hours spliced in five two-hour sessions throughout which scientific information on suicide waspresented, suicide-related myths analyzed, attendants were trainedfor detecting people at stake, and intervention, channeling and self-care suggestions were made. Suicide awareness was assessed bothprior and upon workshop ending; furthermore, the workshop itselfwas evaluated through a questionnaire. Trained psychology studentscursing the tenth semester were appointed coordinators and highschool students of both sexes attended the workshop. The invitationwas open to the general public and those who completed all fivestages were certified «Informed Guardians».The workshop was carried out in eight of the ten high schoolsadministered by the Universidad de Guanajuato in the state. Sixty-nine students attended and completed all five set sessions. Theaverage age of attendants was 16.1 years old; standard deviationwas 1.3 years; 69% of them were female.Out of 22 possible points included in the suicide knowledgeevaluation questionnaire, the average result on first answering was12.59 correct answers, which rose to 15.97 upon completing theworkshop. The range of grades was increased one point for both theminimum and the maximum values and standard deviation wasreduced from 2.62 to 2.49. The increase in suicide knowledge wasthen proved through a «T» test for two dependent samples since itshowed the significance of the result increase (p<0.001).The benefits of the workshop were tested through attendants’comments and coordinators reports analyses. Tearing down of suicidemyths such as the confusion between the embracing of suicide ideasand their actual fulfillment, the consideration of suicide as a sign ofeither bravery or mental illness, the notion that talking about suicidewith someone who has expressed his wish for committing suicide istactless or that a suicidal does not show any warning signals wereoutstanding elements. The workshop evaluation questionnaire,objective fulfillment, workshop methodology, time management andtopic selection were all praised by the attendants.The third workshop evaluation instrument involved thecoordinators’ reports, thus corroborating the workshop reach andgaining further information: six of the attendants knew someone whohad tried suicide; seven more had embraced suicidal ideas, of whomfive actually tried them out actively.«Saving Lives» left amongst its conclusions the fact that 12 outof 69 attendants acknowledged having either embraced or triedsuicide previously. This could have proved motivation enough so asto become «Informed Guardians» and pin-points the importance orteenage prevention, for not only are they the group with the highestrisk but also because they are the first to know of changes and/orsuicide risk within their circle of friends. Besides, when trained assuicide prevention agents, they may spread the word and adequateinformation not only in school-based environments but wherever theyhappen to interact, be it at home or recreational centers, amongstmany others.Another benefit that stems from the workshop is an even moreaccurate definition of suicide concepts. Several suicide myths wereclarified. The fact that the workshop coordinators were students wasregarded as positive by both attendants and the coordinatorsthemselves." @default.
