Abstract

Background and Aims

The present study aimed to examine the associations between suicidal ideation, spiritual well-being, and aggressive behaviors in medical science students.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 240 medical science students in Shahroud, Iran in 2024 using a convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included demographic characteristics form, Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI), Spiritual Well-being Scale (SWBS), and Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). Data were collected as self-report and then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (multivariate linear regression analysis).

Results

The mean ± standard deviation of total scores for aggressive behaviors and suicidal ideation were 88.15 ± 17.00 and 32.00 ± 6.46, respectively. Participants reported moderate levels of spiritual well-being. Suicidal ideation was significantly and inversely associated with levels of spiritual well-being (p < 0.001, β = −0.121) and aggressive behaviors (p < 0.001, β = −0.186). Monthly income was also significantly associated with suicidal ideation scores.

Conclusion

Suicidal ideation and aggressive behaviors were observed at notable levels among the participants. Suicidal ideation was inversely associated with aggressive behaviors and spiritual well-being. These findings highlight the importance of interventions aimed at supporting spiritual well-being and addressing aggressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts among medical science students.

自杀意念及其与精神健康和攻击行为的关系：医科学生的横断面研究。

背景与目的：本研究旨在探讨医学生自杀意念、精神健康和攻击行为之间的关系。方法：采用便捷抽样法，对2024年伊朗沙赫鲁德地区240名医学专业学生进行横断面研究。数据收集工具包括人口统计学特征表、贝克自杀意念量表（BSSI）、精神幸福感量表（SWBS）和Buss and Perry攻击问卷（BPAQ）。数据以自我报告的形式收集，然后使用描述统计和推理统计（多元线性回归分析）进行分析。结果：攻击行为总分和自杀意念总分的均值±标准差分别为88.15±17.00和32.00±6.46。参与者报告了中等程度的精神健康。自杀意念与精神健康水平（p β = -0.121）和攻击行为水平（p β = -0.186）呈显著负相关。月收入也与自杀意念得分显著相关。结论：自杀意念和攻击行为在被试中存在显著性差异。自杀意念与攻击性行为和精神健康呈负相关。这些发现强调了旨在支持精神健康和解决医学专业学生的攻击性症状和自杀念头的干预措施的重要性。
