Abstract

Background

The relationship between metacognitive beliefs and suicidal ideation is complex, yet there is limited research exploring ‘the fine-grained and comorbid pathways between the two variables’, particularly in prisoners.

Methods

Data were collected from prisoners who completed demographic surveys and psychological scales between February and March 2024. Demographic information included age, educational background and duration of imprisonment. The Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30) and Self-Rating Idea of Suicide Scale (SIOSS) were administered. Using R 4.2.3 software, a network model of metacognitive beliefs and suicidal ideation was constructed, with expected influence (EI) and bridge expected influence (BEI) calculated to compare the roles of specific symptoms within the network.

Results

The network model revealed 21 significant edges between metacognitive beliefs and the suicidal ideation community. The most vital edges across communities included ‘Negative beliefs about worry’ and ‘Despair’, ‘Cognitive confidence’ and ‘Despair’, ‘Cognitive self-consciousness’ and ‘Optimism’, and ‘Cognitive confidence’ and ‘Sleep’ (with edge weights of 0.30, 0.16, −0.16 and 0.11, respectively). ‘Despair’ demonstrated the highest EI value, exerting the strongest impact on the network. The highest BEI values were found for ‘Negative beliefs about worry’ and ‘Despair’.

Conclusion

Network analyses underscore the intricate interplay between metacognitive beliefs and suicidal ideation among prisoners at the symptom level. These findings highlight specific areas for therapeutic focus, potentially leading to more effective mental health support for incarcerated individuals.

中国男性服刑人员的元认知信念与自杀意念之间的关系：网络分析

背景：元认知信念与自杀意念之间的关系错综复杂，但探索 "这两个变量之间的细化和合并路径 "的研究却很有限，尤其是在囚犯中：数据收集自 2024 年 2 月至 3 月间完成人口统计学调查和心理量表的囚犯。人口统计学信息包括年龄、教育背景和刑期。此外，还采用了元认知问卷-30（MCQ-30）和自杀意念自评量表（SIOSS）。使用 R 4.2.3 软件构建了元认知信念和自杀意念的网络模型，并计算了预期影响（EI）和桥接预期影响（BEI），以比较特定症状在网络中的作用：网络模型揭示了元认知信念与自杀意念群体之间的 21 条重要边缘。各群体间最重要的边缘包括 "对担忧的消极信念 "和 "绝望"、"认知自信 "和 "绝望"、"认知自我意识 "和 "乐观 "以及 "认知自信 "和 "睡眠"（边缘权重分别为 0.30、0.16、-0.16 和 0.11）。绝望 "的 EI 值最高，对网络的影响最大。关于担忧的消极信念 "和 "绝望 "的 BEI 值最高：网络分析强调了元认知信念与囚犯自杀意念之间在症状层面错综复杂的相互作用。这些发现突出了治疗重点的特定领域，有可能为被监禁者提供更有效的心理健康支持。
