摘要
背景/目的：对自杀行为的良好态度与青少年自杀行为风险的增加有关。因此，本研究旨在分析墨西哥医护学生对自杀行为的态度信念。我们还根据参与者的宗教信仰对自杀行为的态度信念进行了比较：这是一项横断面观察研究。我们使用自杀行为态度信念问卷（CCCS-18）对自杀行为的态度信念进行了评估。我们使用西班牙语版 MINI 国际神经精神病学访谈对个人和家庭自杀史进行了评估。我们对护理专业学生和医科专业学生进行了比较分析，对分类变量采用卡方检验，对连续变量采用学生 t 检验：共有 195 名（52.2%）医科学生和 178 名（47.8%）护理专业学生参加了调查。与护理专业学生相比，医学专业学生报告有自杀未遂家族史和认识自杀未遂者的比例更高（P = 0.001）。在态度信念方面，特别是在临终病人自杀方面，医科学生的得分高于护理专业学生（9.50 ± 5.91 vs. 11.23 ± 6.38，p < 0.001），而后者在与自杀本身相关的态度信念方面得分更高（9.55 ± 4.45 vs. 7.28 ± 4.09，p < 0.001）。如果按宗教信仰进行比较，两组的得分相似：我们的研究结果表明，医科学生和护理专业学生对自杀行为的态度信念存在差异。医科学生对临终病人的自杀表现出更积极的反应，而护理专业学生对自杀本身的态度信念值更高。在规划健康科学课程时可以考虑这些结果，以便对未来的自杀预防工作产生积极影响。本研究于 2024 年 6 月 8 日在华雷斯塔巴斯科自治大学（Universidad Juarez Autónoma de Tabasco）进行了回顾性注册，注册号为 20240063。
Evaluation of Attitudinal Beliefs Held by Medical and Nursing Students Towards Suicidal Behavior.
Background/objectives: A favorable attitude towards suicidal behavior is associated with an increased risk of suicidal behavior in youth populations. Hence, the aim of the present study was to analyze attitudinal beliefs about suicidal behavior among Mexican medical and nursing students. We also compared attitudinal beliefs about suicidal behavior according to the religious affiliation of the participants.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study. Attitudinal beliefs about suicidal behavior were assessed using the Attitudinal Beliefs Questionnaire about Suicide Behavior (CCCS-18). We evaluated personal and family histories of suicide using the Spanish version of the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Comparative analysis between nursing and medical students was performed, using Chi-square tests for categorical variables and Student t-tests for continuous variables.
Results: A total of 195 (52.2%) medical students and 178 (47.8%) nursing students participated. Medicine students reported a higher prevalence of a family history of suicide attempts and knowing someone who had tried to die by suicide compared to nursing students (p = 0.001). Regarding attitudinal beliefs-specifically, suicide in terminal patients-medical students reported higher scores than nursing students (9.50 ± 5.91 vs. 11.23 ± 6.38, p < 0.001), while the latter exhibited higher scores in attitudinal beliefs related to suicide itself (9.55 ± 4.45 vs. 7.28 ± 4.09, p < 0.001). Both groups display similar scores when compared by religious affiliation.
Conclusions: Our findings show differences in attitudinal beliefs about suicidal behavior between medical and nursing students. Medical students exhibited more positive responses toward suicide in terminal patients, while nursing students had higher values for attitudinal beliefs related to suicide itself. These results could be considered in the planning of health sciences curricula in order to positively impact future suicide prevention efforts. This study was retrospectively registered at the Universidad Juarez Autónoma de Tabasco, with the registration number 20240063 on 8 June 2024.
