A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2020 to December 2021 among 1767 pregnant women recruited via convenience sampling from a tertiary hospital in Yinchuan, China. Participants completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Life Events Scale for Pregnant Women (LESPW), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS).

Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) served as the criterion variable, with both general and pain-specific predictors as independent variables. After adjusting for other risk factors, perceived burdensomeness (PB) emerged as a significant predictor of suicidal ideation severity, while thwarted belongingness (TB) did not demonstrate similar predictive power. Contrary to the theory's assumption, the interaction between PB and TB did not uniquely contribute to the severity of suicidal ideation. Furthermore, while a positive association was observed between pain threshold and acquired capability for suicide, this association did not hold for pain intensity and acquired capability. Additionally, interdependent self-construal did not moderate the relationship between IPTS constructs and suicidal ideation severity.
