Abstract
El suicidio es un problema de salud pública que afecta a adultos y jóvenes. La comunicación de los pensamientos suicidas contribuye a la prevención del suicidio. El objetivo de la investigación fue construir la Escala de comunicación suicida. Se utilizó una muestra de 308 adolescentes (Medad = 14.6, 53.9% mujeres). El análisis factorial confirmatorio demostró la existencia de tres factores: comunicación suicida verbal, comunicación suicida no verbal y comunicación suicida virtual, con adecuados
índices de ajuste (χ2/gl = 2.43, CFI = .926, TLI = .912, SRMR = .074, RMSEA [IC 90%] = .068 [.058, .079]) y adecuada confiabilidad (ω = .72, .70 y .80, para cada dimensión). No se encontraron diferencias en la escala entre hombres y mujeres, siendo su estructura invariante a través del género. Se concluye que el instrumento cuenta con adecuadas propiedades psicométricas que avalan su uso en futuras investigaciones.

The objective of this research was to develop the Suicidal Communication Scale. A sample of 308 adolescents (Mage = 14.6, 53.9% women) was used. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated the existence of three factors: verbal suicidal communication, nonverbal suicidal communication, and virtual suicidal communication, with adequate fit indexes (χ2/gl = 2.43, CFI = .926, TLI = .912, SRMR = .074, RMSEA [90% CI] = .068 [.058, .079]) and adequate reliability (ω = .72, .70, and .80, for each factor). No differences were found in the scale between men and women, the instrument being invariant across gender. It is concluded that the instrument has adequate psychometric properties that support its use in future research.
