The desire to commit suicide can be influenced by various factors, including genetic, biological, psychosocial, and environmental stressors. HIV+ patients are a group that is prone to having suicidal ideation because of the various problems they face, both from internal and external factors that risk triggering prolonged stress. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between stress levels and the incidence of suicidal ideation in HIV+ patients in Banyumas Hospital. This study used an observational analytic method with a cross sectional design. Consecutive sampling was used as a sampling technique with a total sample of 36 HIV+ patients. Stress levels were measured using the DASS42 questionnaire (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale 42) and suicidal ideation was measured using the BSSI (Beck Scale of Suicide Ideation) questionnaire.

There is no occurrence of suicidal ideation in HIV+ patients at the Banyumas Hospital. The correlation between stress levels and the emergence of suicidal ideation obtained using the Spearman test shows p value = 0.515 (p > 0.05) and the correlation coefficient (r) is 0.112 which indicates a positive or unidirectional correlation. The conclusion of this study is that there is no correlation between stress levels and the incidence of suicidal ideation in HIV+ patients in Banyumas Hospital.
