Abstract
Introduction: suicide is a public health problem against which resilience, which is the ability to cope positively with adversity, could act as a protective factor.Objective: to determine whether resilience can predict suicidal risk. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational and predictive study was conducted. A descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational and predictive study was carried out, the Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale and the Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale were applied to a group of 288 Ecuadorian Red Cross volunteers between 18 and 67 years of age, 58,3 % of whom were women, 41,7 % men. Results: a slight negative correlation was found between resilience and suicidal risk and that resilience predicted suicidal risk in this population, in addition most of those evaluated presented a low level of resilience and did not show suicidal risk. Conclusions it is possible that resilience acts as a protective factor against suicidal risk
