I10-R360-article-71472025-04-03T12:07:20Z Psychosocial factors related to depressive disorders in adult women of the Chiloé Island Factores psicosociales asociados a cuadros depresivos en mujeres adultas de la Isla de Chiloé Alvarado, Rubén Numhauser, Jacobo Vera, Aldo depresión factores psicosociales depression psychosocial factors This study aims at assessing the possible relationship of life events, social support and depressive disorders, and the possible mediating effect of this microsocial variables on the association of depression to childhood traumatic experiences and educational level.Ours is a transversal study on a probabilistic population sample consisting of 153 adult women aged 18 to 64 years, who reside at the Isla Grande de Chiloé, X Region of Chile, based on a survey conducted at home.A direct relationship was detected between the number of life events of the last 12 months and the depressive disorders. Social support is related to depression through an interaction with the number of life events. Educational level is related to both microsocial variables in an independent way. Traumatic childhood experiences are related to a higher number of life events in adulthood, but not to social support.Results agree with predictions based on stress theory an on the buffer theory of social support. A reasonable hypothesis is that educational level – a macrosocial variable– influences people’s health through microsocial variables. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la posible asociación entre eventos vitales y apoyo social con los trastornos depresivos, además de valorar el posible efecto mediador de estas variables microsociales respecto de la asociación entre depresión y experiencias traumáticas en la infancia y nivel educacional.Se trata de un estudio transversal, con una muestra poblacional de tipo probabilística compuesta por 153 mujeres adultas, de 18 a 64 años, que viven en la Isla Grande de Chiloé, X Región de Chile. La encuesta fue realizada en el domicilio de estas mujeres.Se encontró una asociación directa entre el número de eventos vitales ocurridos en los últimos 12 meses y depresión. El apoyo social se asocia con depresión a través de una interacción con el número de eventos vitales. El nivel educacional se asocia con ambas variables microsociales en forma independiente. Las experiencias traumáticas en la infancia se asocian con un mayor número de eventos vitales en la adultez, pero no con el apoyo social.Los resultados son concordantes con lo predicho por la teoría del estrés y la teoría del efecto “buffer” del apoyo social. Es posible conjeturar que el nivel educacional – una variable macrosocial – actúa sobre la salud de las personas a través de variables microsociales. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
