Reasons for Living and Suicide Ideation in Young Adults From Divorced and Non-Divorced HomesMize, Amy E., Ellis, Jon B. 22 March 2004 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine reasons for living in young adults (17 to 24) from divorced and non-divorced homes. Participants included 281 individuals (128 men, 153 women). Eighty-nine subjects were reared in divorced homes. The Reasons for Living Inventory, a Suicide Ideation Questionnaire, and a demographic questionnaire with items to assess age, gender, parental marital status, and various questions related to being reared in a divorced home were administered to all participants. Results of the study revealed a main effect for suicide ideation status on the total score of the RFL, with non-ideators reporting significantly higher reasons for living than ideators. No main effects were found for gender or parent marital status. Thus, the adaptive cognitive characteristics which are measured by the RFL were no different in young adults who were reared in divorced homes when compared to those reared in non-divorced homes.

The Relationship between Personal Factors, Work Factors, PTSD, and Suicide Ideation in Emergency Medical Service ProvidersBoldt, Faith Joy 01 July 2016 (has links)
EMS providers work in a high-stress environment and are routinely exposed to critical incidents. Many providers are left to deal with the chronic stress on their own, either because of lack of effective employer-based programs or a culture that discourages its use. The extent to which these factors -- as well as personal characteristics such as resilience, PTG, and coping skills -- influence PTSD and suicide ideation among EMS providers has not been well studied among EMS providers. An online survey was administered to a convenience sample of EMS providers. Of the 2,683 respondents, more than one quarter (27.7%) met the PTSD criteria of 50 or higher on the PCL-M. Close to half of the respondents (42.0%) reported having contemplated suicide in the last six months. Of those who had contemplated suicide in the last 30 days, nearly one third (27.1%) thought about suicide 10 or more days in the last 30 days. EMS culture and resilience were negatively associated with PTSD, while positive associations were found with some coping styles. PTSD scores and suicide ideation frequency were highest when post-incident services were not available in the workplace. No significant relationships were found between personal factors and suicide ideation.

Variations in Suicidal Ideation Among Substance UsersNichols, Erica 12 1900 (has links)
Research suggests that substance use is a risk factor for increased suicidal ideation. This study explored the relationship between substance use, suicidal ideation, and impulsivity in a sample of college students and individuals seeking outpatient treatment. Participants were interviewed for information on severity of suicidal ideation and substance use. Participants completed the Psychiatric Diagnostic Screening Questionnaire, the substance use section of the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, the Scale for Suicide Ideation, and the UPPS-P Impulsivity Behavior Scale. These measures were used to determine the amount of variance in suicidal ideation accounted for by substance use. Variables reflecting substance use classification, frequency, and severity were used to predict severity of suicidal ideation.

Feasibility of Assessing Suicide Ideation and History of Suicidal Behavior in Rural CommunitiesCukrowicz, Kelly C., Brown, Sarah L., Mitchell, Sean M., Roush, Jared F., Hirsch, Jameson K. 22 September 2017 (has links)
Suicide in rural areas has not received significant attention in the research literature to this point, although suicide rates are higher among adults and older adults in rural areas than in urban areas. The aims of the study were as follows: (1) establish the feasibility of assessing suicide ideation and history of suicidal behavior; (2) determine preliminary estimates of the prevalence of suicide ideation, and history of suicide attempts; and (3) examine the effectiveness and acceptability of safety and referral plans for individuals whose responses indicated elevated suicide risk, in rural communities with limited access to referral care. Participants were 96 adults aged 40 to 85 years old (M = 57.34, SD = 11.47) residing in West Texas. Our results indicate that 26% of participants endorsed a lifetime history of suicide ideation and/or suicide attempt(s) and 12.5% reported suicide ideation in the past year. In addition, 93.4% of participants reported that participation in our suicide-focused study was an excellent or good experience. Results suggest that individuals in rural communities are willing to talk about suicide, found the experience helpful, and were satisfied with the referral process.

Does self-compassion serve as a protective factor against the development of suicidal ideation?Hess, Elaine Allison 25 July 2011 (has links)
Suicide is believed to be the second leading cause of death among college students, and recent data on the prevalence of suicidal ideation on college campuses
signifies the need for suicide prevention efforts. Historically prevention efforts have
emphasized identifying and shepherding into specialized mental health treatment those
students who are currently in a heightened state of risk. One limitation of this approach
is that college mental health services find themselves stretched to capacity, with utilization rates steadily on the rise. Thus, several scholars have called for suicide prevention efforts to take a public health approach, seeking to intervene more broadly by
improving the mental health of the larger population. One way of broadening these prevention efforts is to investigate factors that preserve the emotional and mental resilience of college students facing similar life stressors and distress levels. Thus, the suicidality literature has seen an increase in the investigation of these protective factors. Self-compassion emerges in the literature as a promising protective factor that may have
applicability in shielding individuals from entering the continuum of suicidality.<<par>>
This study aims to build upon existing research by examining within a college student population the relationship between suicidal ideation and possessing a self-compassionate
attitude, a relationship that has yet to be examined in the literature. Further goals of this research include the following: determining if any of the six
subscales of the self-compassion construct in particular convey more robust protection from developing suicidal ideation, examining the potential mediating effect of self-compassion
on the relationship between depression and suicidal ideation, and investigating whether self-compassion has a differential influence on developing suicidal
ideation for women as compared to men. The proposed study will use a stratified randomized case control design in which those endorsing suicidal ideation in the past
month will be matched with those indicating the absence of suicidal ideation in the past
month on perceived impact of recent life stress and demographic characteristics. Self-report
methods will include a measure of self-compassion, depression, life events, and an
item aimed at examining presence or absence of suicidal ideation during the past month.
Findings from this study will contribute to an understanding of resilience factors that
protect from the development of suicidality and will have implications for intervening
broadly at the population level. / text

Psychological strengths, stress and suicide ideation of correctional officials / C.J. BothaBotha, Christoffel Jakobus January 2003 (has links)
Suicide ideation is a growing phenomenon that can be observed in stressful environments
such as those of a correctional official, and it is a cause for concern. Suicide ideation is
seen as the first step of suicidal behaviour and refers to thoughts, cognitions and overt
intent to kill oneself. The root causes for correctional officials experiencing such a severe
state of hopelessness that they feel death must be the only escape, can be ascribed to
different factors.
The objective of this research is to establish the relationship between psychological
strengths, stress and suicide ideation of employees of the Department of Correctional
Services (DCS). Three concepts of psychological strength namely locus of control, sense
of coherence and affect as independent variables, were compared, with suicide ideation as
a dependant variable. The relationship between suicide ideation and stress as an
independent variable was also established.
A cross-sectional design was used. A simple random sample (n=157) was taken from
correctional officers from a management area in the Freestate Province. The Work Locus
of Control Scale, Orientation to Life Questionnaire, Affectometer 2, and the Adult
Suicide Ideation Questionnaire were administered. In addition, the Correctional Officer
Stress Inventory was developed and administered. Principal component and factor
extraction with Oblique rotation, Cronbach alpha and inter-item correlation coefficients,
factor analysis, a discriminant analysis and a stepwise multiple regression analysis were
used to analyse the data. Results showed that positive affect and external locus of control
were associated with suicide ideation. / Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Coping, stress and suicide ideation in the South African Police Service in Limpopo Province / Cornelius Gerhardus van der MerweVan der Merwe, Cornelius Gerhardus January 2004 (has links)
If the way employees die is a direct cause of their working environment, the employer has
a certain responsibility to address or prevent these contributing conditions in the
environment. Research reports indicate that police officers have higher suicide rates
compared to the rates of the general population. Increasing suicide rates for police
officers in recent years have been reported for the United States and Australia. Very
limited research data for this phenomenon, especially within the South African Police
Service, Limpopo Province was found. Previous research on suicide ideation focused on
social and individual factors. A research project was launched to determine the relationship
between certain demographic variables, coping strategies and stress factors which can be
linked to suicide.
Research was conducted by means of a cross-sectional survey design. A random, stratified
sample (n=204) of uniformed police members was taken from police stations in the
province. The Adult Suicide Ideation Questionnaire, the Police Stress Inventory, the Coping
Orientations to the Problems Experienced Questionnaire and a biographical questionnaire
were administered.
Results of a stepwise discriminant analysis showed that the combination of race, the use of
seeking emotional support as coping strategy and size of police stations can predict 75% of
high suicide ideation cases and 25% of low ideation cases. It was found that 5,88% of the
police officials had significant suicide ideation levels.
Recommendations for future research were made. / Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Coping, stress and suicide ideation in the South African Police Service in the Gauteng Province / Caren Madelein SwanepoelSwanepoel, Caren Madelein January 2003 (has links)
Suicidal behaviour is one of the most tragic events in human life causing serious emotional,
spiritual, medical, social and psychological distress for individuals, family and fiends. In
addition, it imposes a great economic problem for the individual, family, and society. In the
South African Police Service an alarming rate of 4 per 10 000 suicides has been indicated in
previous years. Due to the escalation of suicide rates it is regarded as a major public health
concern.
Several studies have been done regarding suicide and law enforcement agencies but few
regarding suicide ideation in law enforcement agencies. The objective of this study was to
investigate the relationship among coping, stress and suicide ideation of police officials in the
Gauteng Province within the SAPS.
A cross-sectional survey design was used. A random, stratifies sample was taken from police
officials in the Gauteng Province (n = 266). The Adult Suicide Ideation Questionnaire, Police
Stress Inventory, the COPE Questionnaire and a biographical questionnaire were administered.
The results of this study indicated that the factors that predict suicide ideation best are the
following: a previous suicide attempt, passive coping styles, to be charged in terms of the
disciplinary code, medical conditions and gender. The results also indicated that 9,02%
of the sample showed significant levels of suicide ideation.
Recommendations for future research were made. / Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.
