Sense of coherence, self‐esteem, depression and hopelessness as correlates of reattempting suicide

Abstract: Sense of coherence (SOC) has been proposed as a psychological factor that predicts good health and positive adjustment. The three components of SOC: manageability, comprehensibility and meaning were assessed together with depression, hopelessness and self-esteem as factors predicting future suicidal ideation and behaviour in parasuicides. One hundred and fifty hospitalized parasuicides were evaluated on these measures and followed up after six months to determine their current level of suicidal ideation and wh… Show more

“…Low SOC at index attempt in suicide attempters has been found associated with suicidality at 2-month follow-up, and, in line with our findings, the associations were independent of major depression and symptom burden, suggesting that the SOC scale is more than just a mirror of psychopathology [47]. A link between low SOC and suicidal ideation and attempts has been also reported in one clinical study [48] and in some studies with non-clinical populations [49][50][51]. Our findings further support the link between sense of coherence and suicidality and provide additional evidence with regard to the validity of both SOC-29 as well as the newly introduced scale for the assessment of suicidality risk, i.e.…”

“…Considering the relevance of living well in old age and the specific challenges for health and well-being into old age, there is a wealth of studies with regard to SOC as a predictor of health both in community and clinical settings (Antonovsky & Sagy 1985;Henje Blom et al 2010;Kalimo et al 2003;Kivimäki et al 2000;Larsson & Kallenberg 1996;Sairenchi et al 2011;Suominen et al 2001) and psychological variables such as well-being, SWL and quality of life (Kalimo & Vuori 1990;Petrie & Brook 1992;Söderberg, Lundman & Nordberg 1997). That being said, the background predictors of SOC have been much less examined (Volanen et al 2004(Volanen et al :322, 2006; in fact, only a few earlier studies have focused on the factors promoting SOC.…”

“…Meaningfulness refers to the extent to which one feels that life is making sense on an emotional and not just a cognitive level. Petrie and Brook (1992) found that a low sense of coherence is related to suicidal behaviour.Various studies also showed negative correlations between sense of coherence and negative a¡ect (e.g. anxiety) (Carmel & Bernstein, 1990;Flannery & Flannery, 1990;Frenz, Carey & Jorgenson, 1993;Gibson & Cook, 1996;Kravetz, Drory & Florian,1993).…”
