Abstract

Objectives: To estimate Suicidal Ideation (SI) prevalence among Italian medical students and explore associated factors.

Methods: Multicentre cross-sectional study (2018). Students were enrolled through convenience sampling (sample size=2513). Questionnaires included socio-demographic items and Beck Depression Inventory-II, which has an item on SI. A multivariable regression was performed (p-value<0.05 significant).

Results: SI prevalence was 13.7%. Among students with and without depression SI prevalence was 36.0% and 4.3%. Being female, being in a relationship, good/excellent family cohesion, perceived good economic status were significantly associated with lower SI. Increasing age, bisexual/asexual orientation, psychiatric family history, negative judgment on medical school choice, competitive/hostile climate and unsatisfying friendships among classmates, being worried about not measuring up to the profession significantly increased SI.

Conclusion: There was a high SI prevalence among Italian medical students, consistently with worldwide data. Demographic, relational, and motivational factors seem to influence SI. Determinants should be further investigated to plan university-level interventions.

意大利医学生的自杀意念:多中心研究的患病率及相关因素

目的:估计自杀意念(SI)在意大利医学生中的患病率，并探讨相关因素。方法:多中心横断面研究(2018)。学生采用方便抽样(样本量=2513)。问卷包括社会人口统计项目和贝克抑郁量表- ii，其中有一个关于SI的项目。多变量回归(p值)结果:SI患病率为13.7%。在有和没有抑郁症的学生中，SI患病率分别为36.0%和4.3%。女性身份、恋爱关系、良好/优秀的家庭凝聚力、良好的经济地位与较低的SI显著相关。年龄增长、双性恋/无性取向、精神家族史、对医学院选择的负面判断、竞争/敌对的环境和同学之间不满意的友谊、担心不符合职业标准显著增加了SI。结论:意大利医学生的SI患病率较高，与世界范围内的数据一致。人口统计、关系和动机因素似乎影响科学探究。应进一步调查决定因素，以计划大学层面的干预措施。
