Early Life Predictors of Adolescent SuicidalityDykxhoorn, Jennifer January 2015 (has links)
Background:
Suicidal thoughts affect 12% of Canadian adolescents. Previous research has linked many factors to suicidality but has not considered how these factors may act together or their effect on non-mental health outcomes.
Methods: I used the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth to construct predictive models for suicidal thinking. Recursive partitioning models were constructed and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) for suicidal thoughts and secondary outcomes was calculated. I tested the models in the Avon Longitudinal Survey of Parents and Children.
Results:
Predictive model sensitivity was 24.2%, specificity was 89.8%, PPV was 24.7%, and NPV was 89.5% and had similar accuracy in the second dataset. The models were better at predicting other adverse outcomes compared to suicidal ideas.
Conclusion:
Exposure to multiple risk factors is predictive of several poor outcomes in adolescence including suicidal thoughts.

The Assessment of Suicidal Risk in Hospitalized Patients: Hope, Competence, Threat, Succorance, Helplessness, and ControlKary, Clifford A. (Clifford Arthur) 08 1900 (has links)
Although the suicide literature is replete with studies approaching risk assessment from the standpoint of the external observer, research into the intrapsychic mechanisms involved is rare. This study investigated the importance of hope, threat, competence, succorance, helplessness, and control among inpatients hospitalized for suicidal behavior.

Silent suicides: studies on the non-contact group of suicideLaw, Yik-wa., 羅亦華. January 2012 (has links)
Background: Substantial attention has been given to studying suicides
among those who had been in contact with healthcare providers. However,
effective suicide prevention must target both users (contact) and non-users of
healthcare services (non-contact). The non-contact group has been
under-researched and prevention programs are often designed based on studies
that over-rely on samples of the contact group. Using both quantitative and
qualitative methods, this thesis aims to retrospectively explore and explain the
profiles and service-use patterns of the non-contact group alongside service
utilization models. The quantitative studies, which aimed to identify factors
associated with the non-contact groups, were conducted based on the samples
drawn from the psychological autopsy study of suicides (aged 15-59) in Hong
Kong (2003-2005).
Study 1: Portfolio analysis of the non-contact group with psychiatric illnesses
Considering psychiatric illness as the basic “evaluated need” for psychiatric
service-use, it was controlled for in the comparison between the contact (n=52;
43.7%) and non-contact group (n=67; 56.3%). The non-contact group was
associated with having relatively stable employment, a higher level of problem
solving ability, unmanageable debts, and non-psychotic disorders. They were
evidently different from the contact group, while accounting for a larger
proportion of the suicide population.
Study 2: Study of suicides without psychiatric illnesses
Twenty-nine suicide cases without any psychiatric diagnoses were compared
to live controls without diagnoses (n=135), and live controls (n=15) and deceased
(n=86) with non-psychotic diagnoses. They were not significantly different to the
groups with psychiatric illness on the level of impact from various life events,
either acute or chronic, including relationship, family, legal, physical, and job
insecurity. However, with fewer signs of detectable abnormalities such as previous
suicide attempts, they were not given timely attention from healthcare or
psychosocial services. Alternative preventive measures are suggested to address
the service needs arising from their negative life events.
Study 3: Study of suicides with distress from job insecurity
Suicides who were employed at time of death tended to make no contact
with healthcare services. They were single, lived alone, earned less income, and
suffered from depression. Chronic job insecurity, which was partially mediated by
psychiatric illness, was found to influence their non-contact pattern. This could be
due to fear of job loss or being stigmatized at work if they decided to receive
treatment. Strengthening mental health programs and financial management in
workplaces is suggested.
Study 4: Study of perceptions towards pathway to care among patients survived
from near-lethal suicide attempts
The personal accounts of patients that survived from near-lethal suicide
attempts revealed that the higher their suicide intent, the lower their perceived
needs and the greater their resistance to receiving healthcare services. Themes
associated with their non-contact pattern were irrelevancy, non-usefulness and
self-reliance. Their views were detouring or against the pathway to care.
Conclusion: The non-contact pattern of suicides cannot be explained by
conventional service-use models. They showed a distinctive profile from the
contact group, and it is suggested that they be helped through proactive prevention
programs and / or population-based preventive measures, e.g. restriction of suicide
means. / published_or_final_version / Social Work and Social Administration / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

The development of a process theory of suicidal behaviour.Appalsamy, Prabashini. January 2002 (has links)
This qualitative study attempted to develop a process theory of suicidal behaviour. The Arthur Inman diary, which documents the thoughts and feelings of a suicidal individual (Arthur Crew Inman) who eventually died by suicide, was the primary data source from which the theory emerged. Aspects of the qualitative grounded theory procedure were used to develop the theory. Purposeful intensity sampling, theoretical sampling, open and discriminant sampling were applied at different stages of the research process. In addition, the constant comparative method, which forms the hallmark of grounded theory procedures, was an integral part of the analytic procedure. The emergent process theory, which was firmly grounded in the primary data source and extant literature sources, hopefully offers a new paradigm within which suicidal behaviour can be understood. It proposes the processional aspects of suicide and puts forward phases, which a potentially suicidal individual goes through. It thus attempts to bridge a major gap in the study of suicidal behaviour by providing dynamic pathways that link vulnerability to suicide with the suicide act. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sci.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2002.

Adolescent suicidal behaviour : a desperate cry for help.Govender, Amutha. January 2007 (has links)
There appears to be a need to demystify suicidal behaviour not just for the benefit of researchers and health workers but equally for parents, teachers and most importantly for adolescents themselves. The focus in this study was on attempting to provide a fresh perspective of adolescent suicidal behaviour by viewing some delinquent and deviant behaviour as possible manifestation of suicidal behaviour and by decoding and making an attempt to understand the non-verbal voices/cries of suicidal adolescents. In general, suicide and suicidal behaviour among adolescents, has received relatively little attention from Education Departments throughout South Africa. Suicide-prevention is also sadly neglected by government and public health authorities. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the phenomenon has become the first cause of death among the younger age groups, with a higher mortality rate than for road accidents, it has not so far managed to provide backing for preventive schemes within the school and community systems of the same magnitude as the ones developed to tackle other public health problems, such as Aids. The purpose of this study was to gain greater insight into the phenomenon of adolescent suicidal behaviour so that a clearer and broader definition (that included both overt and covert behaviour) was formulated. This will then assist, amongst others, educators, parents and adolescents to identify more easily adolescent suicidal behaviour in its various forms . The study also hoped to investigate and identify the factors that could contribute to suicidal behaviour in adolescents. It also hoped to explore what support systems were available and accessible to the adolescents, more especially those manifesting deviant and delinquent forms of suicidal behaviour and to investigate the effectiveness of the support systems. The concept of networking and creating supportive connections is strongly supported when facing problems of suicide and suicidal behaviour. In creating a connection with the parents, teachers are able to better connect with learners because they will be more aware of the stressors that adolescents are experiencing. Since evidence indicates (Snyder, 1971) that potential suicide victims typically turn first to family and everyday friends and to the more traditional and perhaps formal sources such as clergy, psychiatrists, social workers only later, the need for the school to be more ready to play the role of referrer to other established sources of help is apparent. Teachers should not mistake adolescent suicidal behaviour for just delinquent 'brat' behaviour. In many situations adolescent suicidal behaviour becomes a way of communicating with others after all other forms of communication have broken down - when connections with the outer world is tenuous or non-existent. Stigma keeps adolescent suicidal behaviour from being identified as a public health problem that is preventable. This could be the reason (besides financial ones) why the Department of Education has not seen the urgency to strengthen counselling services in schools. In the absence of such support parents, educators and adolescents need to join forces - create a network of connections - both physical and emotional - so that desperate cries of adolescents are heard, interpreted and eliminated. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2007.
