确定青少年抑郁与自杀之间的关系。

研究目的本研究旨在通过考虑各种因素，探讨抑郁症与青少年自杀可能性之间的关系：研究以描述性横断面形式进行，实地调查时间跨度为 2022 年 11 月 16 日至 2023 年 6 月 30 日。研究评估了在土耳其东部一所大学就读的青少年患抑郁症和自杀的可能性：采用社会人口特征调查表、贝克抑郁量表和自杀可能性量表收集数据：调查结果表明，女性、慢性病患者、有精神病史者、经常表达死亡愿望者、有自杀想法或计划者以及有家庭成员自杀未遂者在抑郁和自杀方面的平均得分明显较高。抑郁得分高与自杀倾向之间存在正相关。然而，没有确凿证据表明抑郁与自杀之间存在联系：本研究发现，某些人口和心理因素与青少年抑郁和自杀倾向的升高有关。当务之急是将发现的高危人群及时转介到合适的机构，接受全面的干预和支持。
