BOLAÑOS LÓPEZ, M. y HURTADO ORDOÑEZ, L., 2024. Autolesiones en jóvenes universitarios sobrevivientes del suicidio. Revista Estudios Psicológicos, vol. 4, no. 3, ISSN 2788-6492, 2788-6506.

Self-injurious behaviors often arise as an attempt to regulate emotions and temporarily alleviate emotional and social pain, potentially leading to suicidal attempts over time—a complex phenomenon that demands a profound and diverse understanding of intense emotional distress and an urgent need for help and support. Thus, this article aimed to explore self-injurious experiences in survivors of suicide attempts during university years through a systematic review methodology using the PRISMA protocol, identifying and critically evaluating the quality of 24 studies spanning a period from 2003 to 2024, in databases like Web of Science, Redalyc, and Dialnet. It was found that self-injurious experiences in university students include cuts, burns, blows, pinches, falls, bites, scratches, and more, resulting from depression, anxiety, stress, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, avoidant coping styles, psychoactive substance use, bullying, academic pressure, history of violence, existential void, fatalistic attitudes, low self-esteem, cognitive rumination, family dysfunction, negative sexual experiences, and more. The above reveals that these experiences require specialized management that includes institutional and family care and support protocols, encompassing emotional, social, and personal factors, which implies the creation of early intervention programs, continuous psychological support, and awareness campaigns to reduce the stigma associated with self-injury and suicide.

In this article, we approach how various student associations that have emerged in recent years in Spain have been activating the socio-political participation of young people in the sphere of civic constitutionalism. Using qualitative interviews and participant observation, we document the diversity and territorial presence of these associations. We delve into their ideology and the cluster of activities and action strategies they employ. One notable aspect is their ability to deploy frames of meaning that compete with and/or complement other forms of activism, discourses, and political demands common among alternative social movements and those advocating for social justice. For example, how they understand democratic institutions and university coexistence, the role of educative institutions in their formative development, or issues of strong public controversy.

Social media, as a form of social interaction, has changed and completely revolutionized our way of socializing, our way of thinking and, certainly, our culture and our social communication, as we knew it. Hand in hand with a fleeting evolution of new technologies in recent years, social networks have emerged as the crucial part of personal relationships in adolescenсe, since teenagers have digital knowledge and easy access to technologies from a very young age. In this study we will try to get closer to the reality of today’s young people, their habits and their emotions. We will obtain some conclusions that shed light on a topic as relevant as it is worrying: the impact of social media on the mental health of adolescents. We will begin by developing the theoretical approach which contains the contribution of experts and specialized bibliography, followed by the analysis based on a questionnaire completed by 252 young people between 12 and 17 years old. We will share the results according to the variable of age and gender and we will end with some conclusions that will help us understand the need for a new social communication didactics model focused on information and support for adults, adolescents and children. Particularly since the social media has a great affect on mental health of young people, especially because of their frequent use, lack of limits, controls, and information.
