“…Most of the non‐clinical samples were high school or university students (Falgares et al, 2017; Heydari et al, 2015; Langhinrichsen‐Rohling et al, 2017; Rodgers et al, 2011; Strang & Orlofsky, 1990), and these studies had the largest sample sizes ranging from 336 to 766 students. The two remaining non‐clinical studies recruited homeless youths (Kidd & Shahar, 2008) and nonpsychiatric cancer patients (Valikhani et al, 2018).…”

“…Of the 11 studies that examined adult attachment, six adopted a two‐dimensional model of anxious and avoidant attachment as their theoretical basis (Brennan et al, 1998), four used Bartholomew and Horowitz' (1991) four‐factor model, and one used a three‐subscale measure designed to capture secure, anxious‐ambivalent, and avoidant styles (Valikhani et al, 2018). The five studies that sampled young adult and adolescent participants measured attachment to parents or peers.…”

“…Seven focused on suicide‐related ideations and/or communications; however, only three used psychometrically validated measures; Allbaugh et al (2018) used the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI; Beck & Steer, 1991), Langhinrichsen‐Rohling et al (2017) used the Suicide Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ; Reynolds, 1987), and Strang and Orlofsky (1990) used the Scale for Suicide Ideators (SSIs; Schotte & Clum, 1982). The remaining four used between one and five single items to assess for the presence and/or degree of suicidal thinking and communications (Heydari et al, 2015; Kidd & Shahar, 2008; Valikhani et al, 2018; Venta et al, 2014).…”

“…Finally, although most studies used an established, validated self‐report measure of attachment, some used adapted versions (Gormley & McNiel, 2010) or reported internal reliability statistics that were less than acceptable (Falgares et al, 2017). Again, most studies ( n = 12) used objective or psychometrically validated measures of suicide; however, four studies assessed for the presence of suicidal ideation or attempts using a small number of non‐validated items (Gormley & McNiel, 2010; Heydari et al, 2015; Valikhani et al, 2018; Venta et al, 2014).…”

Insecure attachment is widely accepted to be a risk factor for suicidal thoughts and behaviour. To increase our understanding of this distal association, the current systematic review aimed to evaluate empirical evidence that has investigated the role of psychosocial mechanisms within this relationship. Sixteen original research articles were identified, with the majority carrying out mediational analyses to test their hypotheses. Substantial heterogeneity was found across studies with regards to their theoretical approach to assessing attachment, suicide‐related outcomes, sample population, statistical analyses, and the psychological factors under investigation. Nevertheless, this emergent evidence base indicates that a range of predisposing, precipitating, and crisis‐state factors may mediate the association between attachment security and suicidality. Studies that investigated moderating factors did not report significant findings, and the mediating role for psychiatric diagnoses remains unclear. Furthermore, this emerging research base is limited by an over‐reliance on cross‐sectional designs and self‐reported data. Longitudinal and experimental designs are required to verify causal pathways and to investigate whether trait vulnerabilities interact with acute stressors to increase suicide risk. Finally, disorganized attachment has been overlooked so far and should be given greater consideration going forward.

Suicidal ideation in patients with cancer: A systematic review of prevalence, risk factors, intervention and assessment

2019

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.
