The Relationship of Suicidal Thoughts and Attempted Suicide to Gender-Based Violence

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse possible factors that influence behaviours related to female suicide: ideation and attempt. To this end, the influence of different indicators has been observed like socio-demographic indicators, support networks, gender-based violences suffered and fear of their partner through a quantitative analysis using a secondary data source, the Study Nº3235 “Macro-survey on Violence against Women” (CIS, 2019). Both descriptive and inferential analysis techniques have been used, applying multiple logistic regression to two constructed models: suicidal thinking and suicide attempt. Among the results, it stands out that psychological and control violence, as well as fear of their partner, influence the suicidal thinking and attempt of women.
