Abstract

Background: Suicidal ideation is a risk factor for suicide attempt. The aim of the present study is to compare suicidal ideation of different groups with different distress.

Methods: 100 soldiers, aged 18-21, divided into four research cohorts: soldiers who had carried out a suicide attempt (n = 40); soldiers with a psychiatric diagnosis (n = 20); soldiers having high severity adjustment difficulties (n = 20); and a control group of soldiers, having neither a history of mental health diagnosis, nor adjustment difficulties (n = 20). All completed the suicide ideation scale.

Results: Half of the attempters had a psychiatric diagnosis (depression or anxiety) on the day of their enlistment and 37.5 % of them had a specified personality disturbance. The attempters were characterized by previously-attempted suicide (p < .01). The lowest mean values (M = 1.95, SD = .67) were among the attempter (F = 3.173, df = 3, p = .02) in motivation for military service. The variable expressing low motivation for military service was the sole predictor of suicide ideation (p = .032).

Conclusions: Early diagnosis facilitated better monitoring by military mental health officers.

社会人口特征对以色列士兵自杀意念的影响。

背景:自杀意念是自杀企图的危险因素。本研究的目的是比较不同痛苦人群的自杀意念。方法:100名年龄在18-21岁的士兵，分为4个研究队列:有过自杀企图的士兵(n = 40);有精神病诊断的士兵(n = 20);严重适应困难高的士兵(n = 20);对照组为无精神病史、无适应困难的士兵(n = 20)。所有人都完成了自杀意念量表。结果:一半的企图者在入伍当天被诊断为精神疾病(抑郁或焦虑)，37.5%的企图者有特定的人格障碍。自杀未遂者(p M = 1.95, SD = 0.67)与服役动机(F = 3.173, df = 3, p = 0.02)均有自杀未遂倾向。表达服兵役动机低的变量是自杀意念的唯一预测因子(p = 0.032)。结论:早期诊断有助于军队心理卫生官员更好地进行监测。
