    In the midst of the complex emotional situation of our current society, which represents significant challenges for the state, society in general and the public health system, it has become evident that there is a prevalence between impulsivity and suicidal ideation, especially affecting young people in academic environments. Impulsivity can lead to risky decisions or destructive behaviors, while suicidal ideation reflects a deep emotional distress considering the possibilities of ending one's life. In order to reach an accurate conclusion of this study, a sample of 196 male and female students between 18 and 28 years of age was used. The objectives of this research were to study the relationship between impulsivity and suicidal ideation in university students of a university in the city of Ambato, province of Tungurahua, to evaluate both variables according to gender, through a quantitative, non-experimental cross-sectional study. The instruments used were Barratt's Impulsivity Scale and Beck's Suicidal Ideation Scale. The results showed a very low positive correlation between impulsivity and suicidal ideation, moderate impulsivity is observed to prevail in this population with 79.1%, as well as mild suicidal ideation with 32.7%, and no significant differences were found in terms of gender.
