摘要
Telefono de la Esperanza (TE) is the main Spanish helpline providing telephone listening and support for callers in crisis. Crisis helplines can facilitate the identification of persons at risk for suicide. The main goals of this cross-sectional study were to identify severe suicidal ideation and to explore the differential characteristics between callers with severe and low-moderate suicidal ideation. A sample of 26,032 callers to TE was assessed; 544 callers with suicidal ideation were evaluated through ATENSIS, an assessment tool designed to collect information related to suicidal ideation. Comparisons between severe and low-moderate suicidal ideators in sociodemographics, telephone call timing, risk factors, and suicidality variables were conducted. Sixty-four (11.8%) of the suicidal ideators presented with severe suicidal ideation and 480 (88.2%) with low-moderate severity. Significant differences in several sociodemographic characteristics, risk factors, and suicidality variables between both levels of suicidal ideation severity were found. In the regression analysis, the main variables related to the presence of high suicidal ideation severity were preparatory acts, previous suicide attempts, non-suicidal self-injuries, lack of life sense, age, and hopelessness. It is concluded that helplines can be used to identify suicidal ideation among callers and to provide rapid crisis interventions according to the risk of suicide. RESUMEN El Telefono de la Esperanza (TE) es la principal linea telefonica de ayuda en Espana que brinda apoyo a las personas en situaciones de crisis. Las lineas telefonicas de ayuda pueden facilitar la identificacion de personas en riesgo de suicidio. Los objetivos principales de este estudio transversal fueron identificar la ideacion suicida grave y explorar las caracteristicas diferenciales con respecto a la ideacion suicida moderada. Se revisaron las llamadas al TE de 26,032 personas y se evaluo una muestra de 544 personas que presentaban ideacion suicida a traves de ATENSIS, una herramienta disenada para recopilar informacion sobre la ideacion suicida. Se comparo a las personas con ideacion suicida grave y moderada en caracteristicas sociodemograficas, momento de la llamada, factores de riesgo y variables de suicidio. Sesenta y cuatro (11.8%) de las personas presentaban ideacion suicida grave y 480 (88.2%) ideacion baja-moderada. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en las distintas variables estudiadas. En el analisis de regresion, las principales variables relacionadas con la presencia de alta gravedad de la ideacion suicida fueron la existencia de actos preparatorios, los intentos previos de suicidio, las autolesiones no suicidas, la falta de sentido de la vida, la edad y la desesperanza. Las lineas de ayuda pueden identificar la ideacion suicida en las personas que llaman y proporcionar una intervencion rapida en situaciones de crisis de acuerdo con el riesgo de suicidio presentado.
