“…In addition, alcohol dependence often coexists with depression and anxiety disorders , with alcohol use often being a form of self‐medication to manage depression and anxiety , and this psychiatric comorbidity has a major impact on suicidal behaviour . Alternatively, having a religion may lead to empowerment, sense of meaning in life or positive affects, and these may buffer individuals from suicidal behaviour . Finally, the protective effect may also be related with negative views against suicides in some religions (e.g., Islam, Christianity), and greater levels of happiness in those with a religion .…”

“…However, not all studies on religiosity and suicidality have found a negative association. Specifically, although several authors have found that religiosity is a protective factor against suicidality , other authors have found either a non‐significant or a positive association . For example, the two largest studies on this topic have yielded conflicting results .…”

The association of religiosity with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in the United Kingdom.Objective: The goal was to analyze the association of religiosity with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in a UK nationally representative sample.Methods: This study used cross-sectional data from 7403 people who participated in the 2007 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS). Religion was assessed with the question 'Do you have a specific religion?' with 'yes' and 'no' answer options. Lifetime and past 12month suicidal ideation and suicide attempts were assessed. The association between religiosity and suicidality was studied in multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic, behavioural, and psychopathological factors. Results: Compared to those without a religion, the prevalence of past 12-month suicidal ideation (3.2% vs. 5.4%), past 12-month suicide attempts (0.4% vs. 0.9%), lifetime suicidal ideation (11.2% vs. 16.4%), and lifetime suicide attempts (3.6% vs. 6.0%) was lower among those with a religion. In the fully adjusted model, having a religion was significantly associated with lower odds for all types of suicidality except past 12-month suicide attempts: suicidal ideation (past 12month: OR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.51-0.99; lifetime: OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.69-0.99) and suicide attempts (past 12-month: OR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.35-1.45; lifetime: OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.53-0.90). Conclusion: There is a negative association between religiosity and suicidality in the UK. Future studies should focus on the underlying mechanisms. Significant outcomes• The prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts was lower in religious people than in non-religious people in the UK.• There was a significant and negative relationship of religiosity with suicidal ideation (past 12-month and lifetime) and suicide attempts (lifetime) after adjustment for sociodemographic, behavioural, and psychopathological factors.• Future studies are needed to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in this association. Limitations• More detailed series of questions on religiosity would have allowed for a better estimation of the religiosity-suicidality relationship.• Suicidality was assessed with self-reports. As suicide is associated with stigma, participants might have responded in a socially desirable manner, potentially leading to an underestimation of the associations.• The design of this study was cross-sectional, and it was thus not possible to determine causality or temporality in the association between religiosity and suicidal ideation or suicide attempt.

“…Caribé et al (2015) studied 164 psychiatric outpatients in Brazil with bipolar disorder Type 1. Those reporting at least one lifetime suicide attempt scored lower on a measure of intrinsic religiosity (Lucchetti et al 2012) than those not reporting a suicide attempt, even after controls for gender, employment, presence of a partner, children, psychiatric comorbidity, rapid cycling, family history of attempted suicide and of completed suicide, and impulsivity.…”

Does Religiosity Predict Suicidal Behavior?

Research was reviewed on whether self-report measures of religiosity were a protective factor against suicidal behaviors. It was found that scores on Francis's measure of religiosity was negatively associated with non-lethal suicidal behavior (ideation and attempts), a protective effect. Similarly, it was found that intrinsic religiosity (but not extrinsic religiosity) was negatively associated with non-lethal suicidal behaviors. However, these associations were weak. Research is needed on the issue whether counselors can use their patients' religiosity to reduce the risk of dying by suicide. Keywords: religiosity; suicidal ideation; attempted suicideThe association of religion and suicide has long been of interest. Durkheim (1897) noted and tried to explain the fact that Protestants have higher suicide rates than Roman Catholics, while it has long been known that Muslims have lower suicide rates than Christians (Lester 2006). There has been a great deal of research and theorizing about the role of religion, religiosity, and spirituality in increasing the risk of suicidal behavior versus acting as a protective factor for suicidal behavior. 1 In a meta-analysis of nine studies, Wu et al. (2015) found significant protective effects of religion (as measured by church/temple attendance or claiming/practicing a religion) on completed suicide. This effect was found to be stronger in studies conducted in Western cultures, in areas with high religious homogeneity, and among older populations. Sisask et al. (2010) also reported cross-cultural differences in the protective effects of three dimensions of religiosity (religious denomination, subjective religiosity, and organizational religiosity) for attempted suicide. The strongest protective effect across the different study sites, such as Brazil, Estonia, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Sri Lanka, was found for subjective religiosity, that is, considering oneself to be a religious person, while the results for the more objective indicators of religiosity were mixed. The present chapter focuses on the association between religiosity and suicidal behavior in individuals. Since the research on this association involves self-report questionnaires, 2 the suicidal behavior is limited to suicidal ideation and, occasionally attempted suicide. Furthermore, we will focus more on our own research, but not to the exclusion of the research of others.

“…Клиницисты используют эти понятия в своей исследовательской работе и часто находят корреляции внутренней религиозной ориентации с чувством общего благополучия и положительными исходами заболевания [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. Так, M. McCullough [41] в ходе обзора 80 источников литературы приходит к заключению о значимости религиозности для развития депрессивных симптомов.…”

Резюме В обзоре представлены данные мировой научной литературы, отражающей положительное влияние религиозности на процесс восстановления после перенесенных депрессивных состояний, а также протективную роль религиозного фактора в отношении суицидальной активности. Несмотря на разнородные данные относительно роли религиозности в терапии психических заболеваний, к настоящему моменту накоплен достаточно большой объем литературы, свидетельствующей о благоприятном влиянии фактора религиозности, описаны конкретные терапевтические подходы и программы по профилактике самоубийств. Ключевые слова: депрессивные расстройства, суицидальное поведение, протективная роль религиозности, религиозные копингстратегии, внутренняя религиозная ориентация, общее благополучие.
