          Resumo

          Introdução: O suicídio é a segunda principal causa de morte entre estudantes universitários, com um em cada quatro estudantes já tendo pensado em tirar a própria vida. Esse problema está intimamente ligado à deterioração da saúde mental e à exposição a experiências traumáticas anteriores. Objetivo:  Determinar os fatores de risco associados à ideação suicida em estudantes universitários da região de La Libertad, no Peru. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, aplicado, não experimental, com delineamento correlacional multivariado. O estudo envolveu 380 estudantes universitários selecionados por amostragem probabilística aleatória simples. Foram utilizados a Escala de Ideação Suicida de Beck, adaptada ao contexto peruano (alfa de Cronbach = 0,800), e um questionário sobre fatores sociodemográficos e psicológicos, aplicado virtualmente. A análise incluiu regressão logística e cálculos de razão de chances para determinar as probabilidades de risco. Resultados:  Vinte e cinco por cento dos participantes apresentaram ideação suicida, predominantemente em estudantes de 17 a 21 anos, do sexo feminino, de nível socioeconômico C e calouros universitários. Os fatores com maior associação foram: depressão (OR=5,437; IC 95% [3,136-6,866]), violência sexual (OR=3,437; IC 95% [2,328-5,074]) e experiências traumáticas na infância-adolescência (OR=2,402; IC 95% [1,662-3,472]). Os modelos explicaram entre 36,9% e 76,5% da variância na ideação suicida. Discussão: A magnitude da associação entre depressão e ideação suicida excede estimativas anteriores, sugerindo fatores culturais específicos do contexto peruano. A violência sexual surge como um fator crítico que havia sido subestimado anteriormente. Conclusões: Fatores sociodemográficos como uso de substâncias, perda familiar e orientação sexual, juntamente com fatores psicológicos como depressão, violência e trauma, são preditores significativos de ideação suicida, sendo estes últimos aqueles com maior probabilidade de risco.
