“…If this continues, they may begin to want to end their lives. Additionally, excessive life stress can increase suicidal ideation because it weakens the selfdefence mechanisms needed to face challenges (Kelliher Rabon et al, 2018). A study by Kim and Hong (2016) found that the number of university students in South Korea who report serious life stress is increasing, as is the number of students who experience suicidal ideation as a result.…”

This study examines risk factors for university students' suicidal ideation based on a meta-analysis of research published in South Korea from 2004 to 2019. Risk factors included depression, life stress, parents' critical communication, and job stress. Publication bias and study-specific moderator variables were also examined. Depression had the largest effect size, followed by life stress, parents' critical communication, and job stress. Meta-regression analysis showed differences in the effect sizes for depression, parents' critical communication, and job stress according to publication year. The probability of publication bias was low. These findings can help to develop effective suicidal ideation prevention programs for university students. In particular, counselling centres should help intensively prevent and manage depression among university students. Furthermore, mental health services, such as education and counselling programs that address suicidal ideation, must be easily accessible by integrating the students' homes, schools, and communities.

“…La autocompasión no es tampoco auto-exigencia ni tener alta autoestima, comprendiendo esta última como una valoración de uno mismo en comparación a los demás.La autocompasión es un factor protector para nuestra salud. Por ejemplo, una investigación con estudiantes universitarios encontró una asociación directa e indirecta (a través de la percepción de bienestar y síntomas depresivos) entre el nivel de autocompasión y la conducta suicida(Kelliher et al, 2018). También se han encontrado asociaciones entre mayor autocompasión y menor consumo de alcohol en adultos jóvenes(Saarinen et al, 2019).…”

Introducción: durante el último tiempo, las prácticas de atención en salud han experimentado un profundo cambio en la medida que los avances científicos y tecnológicos han alcanzado y modificado la clásica relación médico-paciente. El panorama moderno y las presiones e influencias económicas sobre el ejercicio profesional han conducido, además, a una manifiesta insatisfacción respecto al servicio, tanto de usuarios como de profesionales. Ante esta situación, la compasión podría constituirse en un recurso clave para redirigir nuevamente el foco de la atención hacia la persona. Material y método: se realiza una revisión bibliográfica con el propósito de ilustrar sobre esta capacidad, así como invitar a la reflexión sobre la misma. Resultados: el desarrollo de la compasión permite mejorar el trato con los pacientes al mismo tiempo que contribuye al autocuidado de los profesionales de la salud. La evidencia científica disponible al respecto ha permitido comprender la naturaleza neurobiológica de esta capacidad, así como los múltiples beneficios de su desarrollo e integración a la práctica clínica. Conclusión: existe una necesidad urgente de llevar a cabo una transformación de la atención de salud, la cual no debe plantearse de manera exclusiva a partir de los requerimientos estructurales-materialistas del sistema, sino que también debe reivindicar la importancia de implementar cambios personales y organizacionales que se direccionen hacia una humanización del servicio, para centrarlo efectivamente en la persona.

“…Although emerging evidence indicates that self-compassion is linked to positive outcomes among veterans, including decreased guilt and PTSD symptoms (Dahm et al, 2015;Held & Owens, 2015;Hiraoka et al, 2015), and to decreased suicidal behavior in college students (Hasking et al, 2018;Kelliher Rabon et al, 2018), the protective role of self-compassion in reducing suicide risk has yet to be investigated in veterans. Moreover, this study is one of the first to investigate whether self-compassion has more salience and, thus, more clinical utility, in times of heightened distress, particularly given the fact that veterans often face increased levels of psychosocial stressors.…”

Objectives: Veterans are at particular risk for suicide due to psychopathological, emotional, and interpersonal risk factors. However, the presence of individual-level protective factors, such as self-compassion, may reduce risk, becoming more salient at increasing levels of distress and psychopathology, per theory. We examined the relation between self-compassion and suicide risk, and the moderating effects of depression, PTSD symptoms, anger, shame, and thwarted interpersonal needs.Methods: Our sample of United States veterans (n=541) in our cross-sectional study were mostly male (69.1%) with an average age of 49.90 (SD=16.78), who completed online self-report measures: Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised, Multidimensional Health Profile-Psychosocial Functioning Screening Tool, PTSD Checklist-Military Version, Differential Emotions Scale-IV, and the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire.Results: The linkage between self-compassion and suicidal behavior in our veteran sample was moderated by distress-evoking risk factors, including depression, anger, shame, and thwarted interpersonal needs, such that, as level of risk severity increases, the inverse association between self-compassion and suicidal behavior is strengthened.Conclusions: Our findings highlight an emergent protective process that may prevent suicide in times of distress.Therapeutically bolstering the ability for self-compassion may provide a proactive coping strategy that can be brought to bear in times of crisis, reducing suicide risk for veterans.

Self-compassion and suicidal behavior in college students: Serial indirect effects via depression and wellness behaviors

Abstract: Self-compassion may protect against suicidal behavior, in part, due to reduced depressive symptoms and heightened engagement in wellness behaviors. Individual and campus-wide strategies promoting self-compassion and wellness behaviors may reduce suicide risk on college campuses.
