Abstract

Objective: Despite growing international interest in the area of violence and suicidal ideation among school-going adolescents, epidemiological data are scant in Portugal. The objective of this study was to measure the prevalence of suicidal ideation among Portuguese adolescents from 7th to 12th grade and to estimate the association of violence exposure with suicidal ideation. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2 602 adolescents enrolled in public schools in Porto, Portugal. Sampling was performed in four school groups consisting of seven schools, during the 2014/2015 academic year. Results: The results revealed that 11.4% of Portuguese school-going adolescents reported suicidal thoughts during the past 12 months. Moreover, adolescents who had been involved in physical fighting were two times more likely to have suicidal thoughts. These odds substantially increased when bullying and cyberbullying victimisation were included. Conclusion: Effective interventions with multidisciplinary efforts involving parents, school teachers, principals, and mental health professionals, should be integrated into school-based programmes to improve adolescents' mental health and strengthen them against suicidal ideation.

在校青少年的暴力接触和自杀意念。
目的:尽管国际上对在校青少年中的暴力和自杀意念领域的兴趣日益浓厚,但葡萄牙的流行病学数据缺乏。本研究的目的是测量7至12年级葡萄牙青少年自杀意念的流行程度,并估计暴力暴露与自杀意念的关系。方法:采用横断面调查方法,对葡萄牙波尔图市公立学校就读的2 602名青少年进行调查。在2014/2015学年期间,在四个学校组(包括七所学校)进行抽样。结果:结果显示,11.4%的葡萄牙学龄青少年在过去的12个月里报告过自杀念头。此外,参与过肢体冲突的青少年产生自杀念头的可能性是其他青少年的两倍。当包括欺凌和网络欺凌受害者时,这些几率大大增加。结论:应将家长、学校教师、校长和心理卫生专业人员等多学科努力的有效干预措施纳入学校规划,以改善青少年的心理健康,加强他们对自杀意念的防范。
