“…General psychological distress (Fang et al, 2014; Henry et al, 2018; Lee et al, 2014; Spencer et al, 2012; Walker et al, 2008; Zhang et al, 2017), a historical or current psychiatric diagnosis (Madeira et al, 2011; Recklitis et al, 2014; Shim & Park, 2012; Spencer et al, 2012; Trevino, Balboni, Zollfrank, Balboni & Prigerson, 2014) and poorer psychological well-being (Cheng et al, 2014; Leung et al, 2013; Pranckeviciene et al, 2016; Recklitis et al, 2014) were also identified as risk factors. Demoralization (Fang et al, 2014; Nanni et al, 2018; Vehling et al, 2017), hopelessness (Costantini et al, 2014; Diaz-Frutos et al, 2016; Madeira et al, 2011; Moreno-Montoya, Palacios-Espinosa & Gracia-Ruiz, 2017; Xu, Chen, Li, & Dai, 2014; Zhang et al, 2017), and existential well-being (Choi et al, 2014; Fang et al, 2014) were also significant factors associated with SI in patients with cancer…”

ObjectivesSuicidal ideation (SI) underlies risk of death by suicide. It is well established that patients with cancer are at increased risk of death by suicide. Therefore, understanding SI in patients with cancer is critically important. The goal of this systematic review was to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, intervention, and assessment of SI in patients with cancer.MethodsThis systematic review was registered with the PROSPERO database (CRD42018115405) and was guided by the PRISMA statement. We searched Medline, PsycInfo, Embase, CINAHL, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central. Two reviewers independently screened abstracts and assessed for quality assurance using a revised Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.ResultsWe identified 439 studies to screen for eligibility. Eligible studies included adults with cancer diagnoses and listed SI as an outcome. Ultimately, 44 studies were included in the analyses. Prevalence of SI ranged greatly from 0.7% to 46.3%. Single items drawn from validated measures were the most frequent method of assessing SI (n = 20, 45.5%); additional methods included validated measures and psychological interviews. Commonly identified risk factors for SI included age, sex, and disease/treatment-related characteristics, as well as psychological constructs including depression, anxiety, hopelessness, existential distress, and social support.Significance of ResultsAssessment of SI in patients with cancer is the concern of researchers worldwide. Prevalence of SI varied with study population and was likely influenced by the method of assessment. Psychological distress consistently predicted SI. Increasing awareness of demographic, clinical, and psychological associations is critical for risk assessment and intervention development.

BackgroundThe nursing goal of patients with cancer is to provide them with holistic care, including physical, psychological, and social adaptation, and spirituality. This research aimed to explore the influence of the social workers' empathy ability on suicidal ideation of patients with cancer and its path.MethodsThere was a sum of 358 patients with cancer and the 45 social workers serving them participated in the survey. Data of their self-efficacy, depression symptom, stigma, and suicidal ideation were measured before the social work provided (T1) and 3 months after the social work finished (T2) were collected and compared. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationships between social workers' empathy ability and patient indicators at T2. The influence path of social workers' empathy ability on cancer patients' suicidal ideation was explored by path analysis at T2.ResultsAt T2, patients reported higher self-efficacy and lower depression symptoms, stigma, and suicidal ideation than at T1. At T2, social workers' empathy ability was positively related to patients' self-efficacy and was negatively related to depression symptoms, stigma, and suicidal ideation. Social workers' empathy ability affected patients' suicidal ideation directly. In addition, patients' self-efficacy, depression symptoms, and stigma played mediating roles in the influence of social workers' empathy abilities on their suicidal ideation.ConclusionSocial workers' empathy ability not only directly affected cancer patients' suicide ideation but also affected suicide ideation through the mediating roles of self-efficacy, depression symptoms, and stigma. Therefore, the improvement of the empathy ability of medical social workers needs to be paid attention to.

“…Desde la perspectiva social y comunitaria se han implicado otros factores como las condiciones de la vivienda, la religión, la integración y apoyo social y las relaciones interpersonales [5,13]. Se distingue entre los pacientes cristianos no católicos una mayor expresión de la ideación suicida, lo que podría estar relacionado con el grado de aceptabilidad del suicidio, por lo que se considera que la religión y su percepción de la muerte afecta a la expresión y la aceptación de las ideas suicidas [25].…”

Suicide is a major global public health problem, especially among young and middle-aged adults. According to the WHO, worldwide, approximately 800 000 people commit suicide every year. Some predisposing factors for suicide are related to the personal sphere and are universal, such as biological conditions or psychiatric pathology, childhood adversities, as well as social and community perspective: housing situation, religion, social integration and support, unemployment, stress. The highest frequencies of occurrence have been found in males and in the age groups between 15 and 25 years, or over 65 years. Regarding suicide methods, there is a predilection for hanging in most countries, and although suicide methods do not differ much from one country to another, it should be considered that they vary according to the access to lethal methods. Men are reported to commit suicide more frequently using violent methods. A greater recognition of the risk factors and suicide methods used is necessary to raise awarenes among the population and prevention.
