“…The prevalence of suicidal ideation among Chinese middle-school students was 11.5% in the current study which is slightly lower than in some previous studies conducted in China (( 5 ); C. ( 6 )). A possible reason for the different prevalence of suicidal ideation in different studies is the assessment method.…”

“…Previous suicidal ideation is a strong predictor of subsequent suicide attempts and suicide death ( 3 , 4 ), suggesting that suicidal ideation should be the first indicator and major maker when screening suicidal risk. In China, the prevalence of suicidal ideation in adolescents during the last year ranges from 13.7 to 16.0% ( 5 , 6 ). To prevent subsequent suicide attempts and suicide dearth, it is urgent to identify risk factors for suicidal ideation and to develop targeted prevention strategies for suicidal ideation ( 7 ).…”

BackgroundSuicide is a fatal public health issue for adolescents, and it is of great significance to explore the precursors of suicidal behaviors, especially suicidal ideation. However, the relationship between social anxiety and suicidal ideation and its mechanism are still unclear. The study aims to examine the association between social anxiety and suicidal ideation and the mediating effect through Internet addiction.MethodsA total of 2,278 middle-school students aged 12 to 16 years were recruited through a multistage cluster sampling method in this cross-sectional study. Logistical regression analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted to examine the direct and indirect effects of social anxiety.ResultsDuring the past year, 262 (11.50%) participants reported suicidal ideation. Females had a higher prevalence of suicidal ideation than males (12.9% vs. 10.0%, p = 0.034), and urban adolescents reported a higher prevalence than their rural counterparts (13.4% vs. 9.6%, p = 0.006). In the total sample, social anxiety and Internet addiction were independently associated with suicidal ideation (p < 0.05). In the subgroup analysis, the association between social anxiety and suicidal ideation was significant only among rural females and urban males (p < 0.05). SEM demonstrated that social anxiety had direct and indirect effects on suicidal ideation, and Internet addiction partially mediated the relationship, with a mediating ratio of 30.53%. The partial mediating effect was also significant only in rural females and urban males.ConclusionAdolescents may overuse the Internet to cope with social anxiety and further have suicidal ideation. Limiting Internet use and improving interpersonal skills in real life may be efficient for suicide prevention. In addition, targeted interventions should be tailored by different sexes across urban and rural regions.

“…El Clúster 3 permite establecer la relación del abuso infantil con la conducta suicida. Al respecto, se ha reportado que el maltrato infantil es un factor que predice el comportamiento suicida, los trastornos mentales y la agresividad interpersonal (Gómez et al, 2020;Peng et al, 2022;Soylu et al, 2022). De acuerdo con Gómez et al (2020), hasta hace poco se ha logrado estudiar con mayor precisión los procesos psicológicos que asocian el maltrato infantil con las conductas suicidas, las variables que median esta relación y las diferencias sobre las experiencias particulares al abuso de la infancia y maltrato físico.…”

El objetivo del presente estudio bibliométrico consistió en analizar la producción científica acumulada sobre los factores de riesgo biopsicosocial conducentes al suicidio en la infancia y la adolescencia mediante la implementación de la teoría de grafos. Se consultaron las bases de datos Scopus (Elsevier) y Web of Science, y el análisis se efectuó en bibliometrix, Sci2 tool y Gephi. Se encontraron 2,058 registros. El análisis mostró una red de citaciones de 2,905 registros y cuatro clústeres principales. Los resultados arrojaron una estructura de red de la producción de conocimiento en cuatro tendencias de investigación: (1) factores de predicción de tipo psiquiátrico del comportamiento suicida en niños y adolescentes; (2) asociación entre conducta autolesiva no suicida y comportamiento suicida en adolescentes; (3) relación entre maltrato infantil y suicidio; (4) uso de antidepresivos en la niñez y adolescencia y comportamiento suicida. Finalmente, se plantean consideraciones para la prevención del suicidio en la población objeto de estudio.

“…To date, more scholars support that suicide is a developing process, which includes three stages of suicide behaviours before suicide death: suicide ideation (thoughts concerning ending one's own life), suicide plans (plans about how to kill oneself) and suicide attempts (actual actions attempted to complete suicide) (Chen et al, 2021b;Sveticic and De Leo, 2012). From this perspective, individuals involved in suicide behaviours or not could be classified into four groups: none group (without suicide ideation, plans and attempts), suicide ideator (having suicide ideation only, neither plans nor attempts), suicide planner (having suicide ideation and plans, but no attempts) and suicide attempter (having suicide ideation, plans and attempts concurrently) (Peng et al, 2022).…”

Aims Although childhood maltreatment has been widely supported to be a robust predictor of suicide behaviours, the effects of different childhood maltreatment subtypes remain controversial and inconclusive. Moreover, whether the effects differ by sex in urban and rural adolescents is still unknown. This study aimed to quantify the associations between five subtypes of childhood maltreatment and different suicide behaviour involvement. Methods A multistage cluster sampling method was adopted from April to December 2021 for adolescents aged 12 to 18 across five representative provinces of China. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form was used to measure childhood maltreatment subtypes. Suicide behaviour involvement was classified as none group, suicide ideator, suicide planner and suicide attempter. Confounding variables include demographic characteristics, smoking, drinking alcohol, depression and anxiety. Results Among a total of 18,980 adolescents, 2021 (10.6%) were suicide ideator, 1595 (8.4%) were suicide planner and 1014 (5.3%) were suicide attempter. Rural females had the highest proportion of suicide ideator (13.8%) and suicide planner (11.5%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that five childhood maltreatment subtypes were independently associated with suicide behaviours, except for associations between sexual abuse and suicide ideator as well as suicide planner (p > 0.05). Moreover, these associations differ by sex and residence. After adjusted for interactions of different subtypes, structural equation model indicated that the direct effects of childhood maltreatment subtypes on suicide behaviours from high to low were emotional abuse (β = 0.363, p < 0.001), physical abuse (β = 0.100, p < 0.001) and sexual abuse (β = 0.033, p = 0.003), while the effects of physical neglect and emotional neglect were not significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions Five subtypes of childhood maltreatment have specific and non-equivalence associations with suicide behaviours. Emotional abuse may have the strongest effect, and sexual abuse have an acute effect on suicide behaviours. Suicide prevention programs for Chinese adolescents could focus on those who experienced emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Furthermore, strategies should be tailored by sex and residence, and rural females deserve more attention.
