Abstract

Background: The relationship between search terms and suicidal ideation is not precisely known. Aims: This study examined the relationship between the types of terms used in web searches and the level of suicidal ideation among individuals who conduct such searches. Methods: A total of 508 Internet users completed a suicidal ideation scale and conveyed to us the words they used when searching for a consultation site. The site was run by the authors using Internet advertisement listings, to consult people via e-mail who had searched for suicide-related words. We divided the users into three groups based on the most salient search terms: suicide method terms, suicide but no method terms, and other terms. Results: The scores on the suicide ideation scale were compared using one-factor analysis of variance, and differences were found between the groups. Users searching for suicide method-related terms had the strongest suicidal ideation. Limitations: This study was limited to users who contacted online consultation sites because of their help-seeking intentions. Conclusion: It is especially important for support organizations to identify Internet users who directly search for suicide methods.

日本网民搜索词对自杀意念的反映

背景:搜索词与自杀意念之间的关系尚不清楚。目的:本研究考察了在网络搜索中使用的术语类型与进行此类搜索的个人自杀意念水平之间的关系。方法:508名互联网用户填写自杀意念量表，并向我们传达他们在搜索咨询网站时使用的词语。该网站由作者利用互联网广告列表运营，通过电子邮件向搜索过自杀相关词汇的人提供咨询。我们根据最突出的搜索词将用户分为三组:自杀方法术语、自杀但没有方法术语和其他术语。结果:采用单因素方差分析比较自杀意念量表得分，组间存在差异。搜索自杀方法相关词条的用户有最强烈的自杀意念。局限性:本研究仅限于因寻求帮助而联系在线咨询网站的用户。结论:对支持组织来说，识别直接搜索自杀方法的互联网用户尤为重要。

期刊介绍： A must for all who need to keep up on the latest findings from both basic research and practical experience in the fields of suicide prevention and crisis intervention! This well-established periodical’s reputation for publishing important articles on suicidology and crisis intervention from around the world is being further enhanced with the move to 6 issues per year (previously 4) in 2010. But over and above its scientific reputation, Crisis also publishes potentially life-saving information for all those involved in crisis intervention and suicide prevention, making it important reading for clinicians, counselors, hotlines, and crisis intervention centers.
