Abstract:Background
Early detection and intervention of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in adolescence has become a public health priority. Theoretical models emphasize the role of social interactions and transgenerational mechanisms in the development of the disorder suggesting a closer look at caregiver-child relationships.
Methods
The current study investigated mother-adolescent interactions and their association with adolescent BPD traits by using… Show more
This research aimed to identify the role of parental support in reducing suicide rates among female patients aged 18 to 25 with borderline personality disorder. The study was cross-sectional and correlational. The research population comprised all individuals with borderline personality disorder who visited specialized psychiatric clinics across Tehran in the year 2023, totaling 218 individuals. Using convenience sampling, 200 individuals were selected as the sample and responded to research instruments, including the Family Functioning Questionnaire (Epstein et al., 1980) and the Suicide Ideation Questionnaire (Beck et al., 1979). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient tests, and multiple regression analysis via SPSS-v26. Findings indicated a significant negative correlation between family functioning and suicidal behavior among individuals with borderline personality disorder (r = -0.545, p < 0.002). Furthermore, regression analysis revealed that among the family functioning components, problem-solving skills (β = -0.209, p < 0.05) had the highest explanatory power for suicidal behavior in patients with borderline personality disorder. In contrast, roles (β = -0.060, p < 0.05) had the lowest explanatory power. According to the research findings, focusing on the precursors of suicidal behavior is crucial in healthcare facilities to improve overall well-being and mitigate risky behaviors among individuals with borderline personality disorder.
