- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoConductas autolesivas y consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en adolescentes de Latinoamérica.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Montalvo Gómez, Edwin J.; Orellana Machuca, Juana B.; 0302142856; 0106417926; Yanza Méndez, Rafael G.Introduction: The presence of self-injurious behaviors and substance use among adolescents has garnered increasing interest from the scientific community in charge of studying human behavior because it is a clinical indicator with a predictive value on suicide. This problem directly affects the adolescent population. Objective: This research aimed to conduct a bibliographic investigation of self-injurious behaviors and substance use in Latin American adolescents. Methodology: This bibliographic research is descriptive with a qualitative approach to self-injurious behaviors, substance use, and associated problems. The search for information was carried out through different science-based digital repositories in the last ten years. Result: Studies showed that in Latin America, 20% of minors who self-injured had used substances, with 84.6% consuming alcohol and 15.4% consuming other drugs. Conclusion: There is a negative association between self-injurious behaviors and substance use among adolescents in Latin America, which may also manifest in high levels of anxiety, dichotomous thoughts, cognitive distortions, and eating disorders. These behaviors are predisposing factors for self-injurious behaviors that arise to alleviate the emotional pain crisis the subject may be experiencing.
