Relación del rechazo familiar por orientación sexual y la presencia de ideación suicida en la población LGBTQ+: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This study examined how family rejection related to sexual orientation influences the development of suicidal thoughts in LGBTQ+ individuals, considering this a significant public health issue. The methodology included compiling experiences from educational clinical practice and conducting a systematic literature review following the PRISMA model. Twelve scientific articles published in the last ten years were selected from the ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, in addition to a complementary analysis of a simulated clinical case. The results showed that parental rejection and lack of family support are risk factors associated with depressive symptoms, hopelessness, and a higher likelihood of suicidal ideation. Finally, the study concludes that the risk of suicide in this population arises from the interaction between personal factors and family stigma, highlighting the need for psychological interventions with a systemic approach to the family. Furthermore, it recommends promoting inclusive educational programs that strengthen emotional support networks and suicide prevention.
