RESUMEN
Introducción. Las autolesiones no suicidas (ANS) son un problema mundial de salud que afecta principalmente
a jóvenes, y puede impactar de manera negativa la salud mental y física de la persona que se autolesiona.
Objetivo. Examinar la frecuencia de ANS en 564 estudiantes de licenciatura (132 hombres, 432 mujeres)
de la Ciudad de México y la asociación de las ANS con síntomas depresivos, ansiedad, impulsividad,
autoeficacia y regulación emocional.
Método. Una muestra de conveniencia de 564 estudiantes universitarios
(edades 17-26 años) de ocho universidades del área metropolitana de la Ciudad de México completó una
encuesta en sus salones de clases.
Resultados. Del total de la muestra, 30.9% se habían infligido ANS de
manera experimental de una a cuatro ocasiones, mientras que 26.9% presentaron ANS recurrentes (cinco o
más ocasiones) en algún momento en su vida. Casi once por ciento reportaron ANS en los 12 meses previos.
Las ANS reportadas con mayor frecuencia entre aquellos que se autolesionaron fueron cortarse a sí mismos
(48.0%). Las personas con autolesiones recurrentes reportaron mayores niveles de depresión e impulsividad,
y menos autoeficacia que aquellas que habían experimentado con estos comportamientos o sin ninguna
historia de ANS en su vida. Aunque 54.4% percibían la necesidad de atención, solo 18.1% buscaron servicios
profesionales.
Discusión y conclusión. Las ANS son una problemática oculta en la población universitaria
de la Ciudad de México, la cual necesita ser atendida por las autoridades universitarias y los profesionales de
la salud. La sintomatología depresiva, impulsividad y autoeficacia son factores que se deben considerar para
desarrollar estrategias preventivas.
