“…It has been studied that being married reduces risk significantly, so singleton is classified as a risk factor 3 . It is also noteworthy that a significant percentage identified as main problems the relationship with the mother which, like other studies, shows the direct relationship between family dynamics and suicidal behavior 12,13 .…”

“…However, the role of such factors within pathways leading to suicidal behaviour is still not fully understood. Previous research focusing upon the role of social factors in suicidal ideation and behaviour has emphasised the impact of characteristics of family relationships, such as the perceived level of family support (e.g., Diamond et al, 2010;Hoagwood et al, 2010) and family conflict (e.g, Legleye al., 2010;Xing et al, 2010). Characteristics of wider social networks have also been implicated in the formation of suicidal ideation, such as social isolation (e.g., Bearman & Moody, 2004) and peer integration amongst adolescents (e.g., Connor & Rueter, 2006).…”

AbstractBackground: The prevalence rate of completed suicide in bipolar disorder is estimated to be as high as 19%. Social factors or influences, such as stigmatisation and family conflict, contribute to the development of suicidal ideation in clinical and non-clinical populations. Yet, there is a lack of studies examining suicidality from a psychosocial perspective in people who experience bipolar disorder.Method: Semi-structured interviews were used to collect qualitative data from 20 participants with bipolar disorder. The interview focused on the effects of social factors upon participants" experiences of suicidality (suicidal thoughts, feelings or behaviours). A thematic analysis was used to understand the data.Results: Social or interpersonal factors which participants identified as protective against suicidality included, 'the impact of suicide on others' and, 'reflecting on positive social experiences'. Social factors which triggered suicidal thoughts included, 'negative social experiences' and, 'not being understood or acknowledged'. Social factors which worsened suicidal thoughts or facilitated suicidal behaviour were, 'feeling burdensome," and 'reinforcing negative self-appraisals'.Limitations: Some participants had not experienced suicidal thoughts for many years and were recalling experiences which had taken place over ten years ago. The accuracy and reliability of these memories must therefore be taken into consideration when interpreting the results. Conclusions:The themes help to enhance current understanding of the ways in which social factors affect suicidality in people who experience bipolar disorder. These results highlight the importance of considering the social context in which suicidality is experienced and incorporating strategies to buffer against the effects of negative social experiences in psychological interventions which target suicide risk in bipolar disorder.

“…In China, a recent study suggested that there is an increasing public and policy concern about the issue of adolescent suicide attempts (Xing et al, 2010). A study of students in Hong Kong revealed that 7.3% of boys and 7.2% of girls in their high school years had attempted suicide, observed during a 12-month period (Yip et al, 2004).…”

Suicide of an individual could leave devastating consequences for family, friends, relatives, and society. Suicide could be considered a serious concern and issue to public health, especially among adolescents. The purpose of the study was to examine associations of suicide ideation with attitudes toward suicide (ATS), quality of life (QOL), and attitudes toward death and dying (ADD) in high school seniors. The participants were conveniently sampled and consisted of 1,247 high school senior students from China, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. The survey found that 21.7% of the Chinese, 20.9% of the Korean, 16.8% of the Thai, and 26.3% of the Vietnamese participants exhibited suicide ideation. The analysis revealed that student suicide ideation was significantly associated with ATS, QOL, and sustained elements of depression during the past 12 months in all four countries. In addition, there were statistically differences among the Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese students in QOL, ATS, and ADD. The analysis determined that there were certain predictive factors for suicide ideation in the participants. The impact of these findings could extend to professional roles within the school system including curricula and services. Administrators, faculty, or social workers could gain a better understanding of the current suicide ideation phenomenon and help raise awareness to reduce potential suicide attempts among high school students in these Asian countries.
