Abstract

Suicide is an issue related to alcohol use and other substances. This study analyzed the relationship between suicidal risk, coping behaviors and self-efficacy among alcoholics. A total of 75 patients diagnosed with alcohol use disorder participated in this study. Substance use history, previous treatments and possible psychiatric history were assessed. Moreover, different questionnaires were used to assess variables related to alcohol risk situations, coping behavior, self-efficacy and suicide risk probability. The results showed statistically significant differences in the variables of capacity to identify risk situations and self-efficacy. These results could be useful to improve relapse prevention programs to reduce the alcohol use relapses, and also to reduce the risk of suicide attempts.
