“…In the meta-analysis by Moore et al, the analysis was carried out only over 18 studies, which shows that more research is needed on the subject. Regarding the association between suicide attempts and aggressiveness subtraits (physical aggression r = 0.23, verbal aggressiveness r = 0.18, anger r = 0.31, and hostility r = 0.32), our results agree with those reported by Xuan et al (2023) (physical aggression r = 0.31, verbal aggressiveness r = 0.23, anger r = 0.28, and hostility r = 0.28).…”

“…The authors also reported that the heterogeneity was significant and only partly explained by moderators, thus suggesting that further studies in the field are needed to explore the relationship between aggression and suicidality. In China, Xuan et al (2023), in a sample of 2,292 first-year university students, found that physical aggression (r = 0, 31), verbal aggression (r = 0, 23), anger (r = 0, 28), and hostility (r = 0, 28) significantly correlated with the suicide risk score.…”

BackgroundSuicide constitutes one of the main mental health problems worldwide, requiring detection, and prevention efforts, especially in the adolescent population.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of suicide attempts and suicidal ideation and their relationship with aggressiveness and bullying in Chilean adolescents.Materials and methodsThe sample was composed of 728 adolescents schooled from Arica city: 56.6% were males and 43.4% were females. The students attended from de 1st to the 4th year of secondary. The average age of the sample was 15,6 years. The following instruments were used: Okasha’s Suicidality Scale, Buss and Perry’s Aggressiveness Survey, and the Social Acceptance (School Bullying) sub-test of the Kidscreen-52 Survey. A cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational design was applied. The sampling was non-probabilistic for convenience.Results18.4% of the students reported that they had attempted suicide and 65.6% reported that they had suicidal ideation. The prevalence of suicide attempts was higher than in male adolescents (29,1% vs. 10,2%), and the same prevalence was for suicidal ideation (76,6% vs. 57,3%). Suicide attempts and suicidal ideation were positively and significantly correlated with aggressiveness (r = 0.32, r = 0.48) and bullying (r = 0.37, r = 0.50).ConclusionThe prevalence of suicide attempts and suicidal ideation is both higher in girls than boys. In this sense, girls constitute a risk group. In addition, this study provides evidence that supports the relationship between suicide attempts and suicidal ideation. The results highlight the role that educational institutions should have in terms of prevention and effective approaches.

“…Yet, we consider that we were able to reach data saturation among this specific, concerned, population. Third, subgroup analysis of male students and women students did not reveal any differences between them in relation to the results, although gender differences have been described in terms of prevalence of mental disorders and mental health risks (41), and professional adversities in the field (42). Finally, without having prior contacts with the students interviewed, the research team belongs to the same university and the three psychiatrists are also faculty members, it might have impacted the data collection.…”

BackgroundHealthcare students are a population more at risk for mental health issues, especially anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. The health faculty of Université Paris Cité in France, Paris has implemented a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course aiming to improve students’ mental health literacy, self-care and peer-support and to decrease stigma about mental illness. We conducted a qualitative study exploring the lived experience of this MHFA training course among healthcare students so to better assess its implementation within this specific context and population.MethodsThis qualitative study used the five-stage inductive process to analyze the structure of lived experience (IPSE) approach. All the healthcare students that had completed the 2-day MHFA training were approached to participate. Data was collected through individual semi-structured interviews and inclusion continued until data saturation was reached. Data analysis was based on an inductive, descriptive, and structuring procedure to determine the structure of lived experience characterized by the central axes of experience.ResultsTwenty students were included. Data analysis produced a common structure of lived experience based on three central axes of experience, (1) a personal experience, (2) a student experience and (3) a professional experience. The participants all experienced this course intertwined within these 3 axes. Their motivation to take the course was personal -being of feeling concerned by the topic-, was study-oriented – to learn and revise psychiatry- and was professional – so to develop both practical and soft skills. In their personal experience, participants reported a transformative experience and some interventions with friends and family, while both in their student and professional experience, they felt frustrated with both the content and the form of the course.ConclusionThe results reported similar outcomes reported in the literature about skills, knowledge, and awareness; but mostly produce original avenues about how to better adapt such course to this specific population so to better address students’ expectations and mental health issues. This MHFA course -with an adapted content addressing eating disorders, self-mutilations and sexual and gender-based violence – could be part of the early curriculum of healthcare students. The latter could then benefit from a level 2/advanced MHFA course years later specifically tailored for healthcare professionals.

“…Early studies have explored gender differences in the incidence of depression, with some studies pointing to a trend where female college students exhibit higher levels of depression than their male counterparts (Edlund et al, 2022;Simegn et al, 2021), while others suggested the opposite (Xuan et al, 2023). Research on forbearance also revealed gender disparities (Deng & Xiao, 2022).…”

Background: College students are at a high risk of depression, and forbearance might be a critical resource to help college students alleviate depression. However, forbearance exhibits heterogeneity, with people displaying distinct styles of forbearance in coping with stress. Furthermore, gender differences in the relationship between forbearance and depression have not been investigated. Thus, the study aims to comprehensively explore gender differences in the relationship between forbearance and depression. Methods: Data were collected from 825 Chinese college students. We assessed their forbearance using the Forbearance Scale (FS) and evaluated their depression using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). A moderated model was used to explore the effect of gender in the relationship between forbearance and depression. Results: Active forbearance (b = -0.22, t = -5.29, p ＜0.01) had a negative predictive effect on depression in college students, while repressive forbearance (b = 0.10, t = 2.35, p ＜ 0.05) had a positive predictive effect on depression. The interaction term of active forbearance and gender was a significant predictor of depression (b = 0.19, t = 2.71, p ＜0.01), and active forbearance negatively predicted depression in females at a significant level (b = -0.22, t = -5.29, p＜0.01), but not in males (b = -0.03, t = -0.60, p = 0.55). The interaction term of repressive forbearance and gender was not a significant predictor of depression (b = 0.04, t = 0.54, p = 0.59). Conclusions: The impact of active forbearance on depression was modulated by gender. When utilizing forbearance for psychological health interventions, relevant personnel should consider the heterogeneity of forbearance and potential gender differences to enhance the effectiveness of interventions.
