Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on many risk and protective factors associated with suicide. Aims: The aim of this study was to identify pandemic-related factors associated with suicidal ideation in the two European countries, Lithuania and Poland, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The sample comprised 2,459 participants in both countries; 57.2% of the respondents were female. The M_age of the participants was 43.45 years (SD = 15.91). Pandemic-related stressors and adjustment problems were measured to assess associations with suicidal ideation. Results: High levels of adjustment problems, loneliness, and burden due to staying at home more during the COVID-19 pandemic were significantly associated with suicide ideation in both Lithuania and Poland. Limitations: This was a cross-sectional online study with different recruitment approaches in the two countries. Conclusion: Adjustment problems, loneliness, and stressors related to staying at home more could be important targets for suicide prevention amid the pandemic.

2019冠状病毒病大流行期间立陶宛和波兰自杀意念相关因素

背景:COVID-19大流行对与自杀相关的许多风险和保护因素产生了影响。目的:本研究的目的是在COVID-19大流行期间，确定立陶宛和波兰两个欧洲国家与自杀意念相关的大流行相关因素。方法:样本包括两国2,459名参与者;57.2%的受访者为女性。参与者年龄43.45岁(SD = 15.91)。测量与流行病相关的压力源和适应问题，以评估与自杀意念的关联。结果:在立陶宛和波兰，高水平的适应问题、孤独感和因COVID-19大流行期间更长时间呆在家里而造成的负担与自杀意念显著相关。局限性:这是一项横断面在线研究，在两个国家采用不同的招募方法。结论:大流行期间，适应问题、孤独感和与在家相关的压力源可能是预防自杀的重要目标。
