“…These findings are also in line with previous research [51,52]. Given the fact that one of the strongest predictors of completed suicide or further SAs has been found to be a previous SA [53,54] and that the D-BPP prospectively predicts adolescent SAs [55], the group identified may be at particular risk of future suicidal behavior and even suicide.…”

Descriptive diagnoses of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide attempts (SAs) may detract from underlying dimensional borderline personality pathology (D-BPP). This study aimed to investigate D-BPP in adolescent inpatients with NSSI and SAs. A consecutive sample of 359 adolescent inpatients was assessed for current and past NSSI and life-time SAs. D-BPP and current mental health problems were measured using the Dimensional Assessment of Personality Pathology and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, respectively. D-BPP was significantly associated with both current (p < 0.001) and past NSSI (p = 0.025) and life-time SAs (p < 0.001) compared to their non-self-harming peers. Patients with current and past NSSI did not differ in terms of D-BPP or current mental health problems. A multivariate model did not show any additional influence of current mental health problems over and above D-BPP in predicting NSSI and SAs. It can be hypothesized that D-BPP underlies adolescent self-harm and may persist even after its termination, promoting a higher burden of mental health problems.

“…Some study fi ndings supported the predictive validity of the SIS total or subscale scores for future non-fatal repetition (Hjelmeland et al, 1998;Kerkhof and Arensman, 2004;, and for future suicide (Beck et al, 1989;Niméus et al, 2002;Suominen et al, 2004;. Other prospective studies did not confi rm the predictive validity of the SIS for non-fatal (Tejedor et al, 1999;Haw et al, 2003) or for fatal suicidal behavior (Hjelmeland et al, 1998;Tejedor et al, 1999).…”

“…The SIS total score ranges from 0 to 30. Even though the original theoretical framework of the SIS (Beck et al, 1974) proposed a slightly different factor composition, the commonly applied and established version of the SIS consists of two parts: the 'circumstances' subscale (items 1-8) and the 'self-report' subscale (items 9-15) (Beck et al, 1975;Beck et al, 1989).…”

“…First, the SIS was investigated as a predictor for future fatal and non-fatal suicidal behavior (Beck et al, 1989;Hjelmeland et al, 1998;Tejedor et al, 1999;Brown et al, 2004;Kerkhof and Arensman, 2004;Suominen et al, 2004;Baca-Garcia et al, 2005;. Second, other studies examined the relationships between the SIS and several variables associated with non-fatal suicidal behavior (e.g.…”

Although the Suicide Intent Scale (SIS) is a widely used instrument in research on suicidal behavior, comparative research on the latent structure of the SIS has been neglected. To determine whether a general factor model of the SIS is supported, alternative factor models of the SIS were evaluated comparatively in 11 clinical samples. The SIS was applied as part of a structured clinical interview to patients after an episode of non-fatal suicidal behavior. The samples were drawn from 11 study centers within the frame of the WHO/EURO multicenter study on suicidal behavior. Three different two-factor and two three-factor models of the SIS were examined in each sample using principal component analysis with orthogonal Procrustes rotation. The factorial structure of the 'subjective part' of the SIS (items 9-14) was strongly supported, whereas an acceptable model fit for the 'objective part' was not found. Possible future revisions of 'objective' SIS items may be worth consideration. As a limitation, the results of the study might not generalize to other samples that use different definitions of non-fatal suicidal behavior.

“…In particular, the seriousness of prior suicide attempts has been found to be capable of distinguishing eventual suicide victims from nonsuicide victims (Beck, Steer, & Trexler, 1989). In addition, previous studies have identified current suicidal ideation as a powerful predictor of suicide risk (Beck et al, 1973).…”

Relationships between traumatic life events and suicide risk were studied in two samples of jail inmates with a low (N = 216) and a high (N = 51) suicide risk. Although nonsuicidal inmates reported a high prevalence of traumatic life events, suicidal inmates reported even higher prevalence rates. Suicidal inmates reported more episodes of sexual abuse, physical maltreatment, emotional maltreatment, abandonment, and suicide attempts by significant others. They also had experienced more traumatic life events during childhood, later life, and detention. It is concluded that traumatic life events are associated with suicide risk and that such an association remains in a population with a high prevalence of traumatic life events. It is also concluded that suicide risk is dependent of the type of life event, the timing of the event, and the type of persons involved in the event.
