Abstract
MARTINEZ SILVA, Pablo Andrés et al. An Explanatory Model of Suicidal Behaviour in Indigenous Peoples of the Department of Vaupés, Colombia. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2020, vol.49, n.3, pp.170-177. Epub Jan 15, 2021. ISSN 0034-7450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcp.2018.07.005.
Introduction:
Suicidal behaviour is a global public health problem. Indigenous peoples are one of the most vulnerable populations.
Objective:
To establish an explanatory model of the suicidal behaviour of the indigenous peoples of the department of Vaupés.
Methods:
Mixed qualitative-quantitative study with the population of Vaupés. A univariate analysis of local databases, and implementation of different qualitative data collection techniques in the field, with hermeneutic analysis following guidelines proposed by other authors.
Results:
Suicidal behaviour is a problem for the indigenous peoples of Vaupés. Different explanations for these behaviours involving traditional and structural aspects are integrated in an explanatory model, which makes it possible to guide action.
Conclusions:
The explanatory model makes it possible to advance socioculturally in the appropriate way to address suicidal behaviours, and opens up new possibilities for interaction with other healthcare models.
