ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study was to identify the coping strategies in a sample of 103 patients that entered “Fray Antonio Alcalde” Civil Hospital of Guadalajara for suicidal attempt. We used The Coping Style inventory by Vitalino et al. (developed from the Lazarus and Folkman inventory). The inventory demonstrated consistency when being validated by factoring through the Cronbach´s Alpha test with equal or higher values than 0.80. Seventy fi ve per cent of the studied sample used maladaptive coping skills as: self-blaming and wishful thinking.
