We examined hopelessness as a predictor of suicide ideation in depressed youth after acute medication treatment. A total of 158 depressed adolescents were administered the Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) and Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) as part of a larger battery at baseline and at weekly visits across 6 weeks of acute fluoxetine treatment. The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) was administered at baseline and week 6. A negative binomial regression model via a generalized estimating equation analysis of repeated measures was used to estimate suicide ideation over the 6 weeks of acute treatment from baseline measure of hopelessness. Depression severity and gender were included as covariates in the model. The negative binomial analysis was also conducted separately for the sample of males and females (in a gender-stratified analysis). Mean CDRS-R total scores were 60.30 ± 8.93 at baseline and 34.65 ± 10.41 at week 6. Mean baseline and week 6 BHS scores were 9.57 ± 5.51 and 5.59 ± 5.38, respectively. Per the C-SSRS, 43.04% and 83.54% reported having no suicide ideation at baseline and at week 6, respectively. The analyses revealed that baseline hopelessness was positively related to suicide ideation over treatment (p = .0027), independent of changes in depression severity. This significant finding persisted only for females (p = .0024). These results indicate the importance of early identification of hopelessness.

“…Importantly, studies have observed a greater lifetime prevalence of suicide ideation in females (Nock et al., ). More specifically, findings from a recent study suggested that female adolescents were 2.16 times more likely to experience suicide ideation than their male counterparts (Rew, Young, Brown, & Rancour, ). Similarly, Labelle et al.…”

“…Multiple, additional factors are implicated in risk for suicidal ideation, including distal risk factors, such as temperamental characteristics (e.g., impulsivity; Askenazy et al, 2003), cognitive factors (e.g., negative cognitive style; Stange et al, 2015), emotional competence (Kwok and Shek, 2010), and proximal risk factors, such as life events (Rew et al, 2016) and perceived stress (Cole et al, 2015). Moreover, prior studies have shown that affect has repeatedly been identified as a key predictor of suicidal ideation (Law et al, 2015).…”

The suicide rate for females in China is the second highest worldwide, and China is the only country in the world in which the rate of suicides is higher for women than men. Affective instability has been shown to be a strong predictor of suicidal ideation, particularly among women. However, prior research has mainly focused on the impact of women's negative affect on suicidal ideation, ignoring the influence of positive affect on suicidal ideation. Studies have revealed that hopelessness, which is 1.3 times more important than depression for explaining suicidal ideation, is driven more by low levels of positive affect than by high levels of negative affect. Although positive affect has also been found to be related to suicidal ideation, and it demonstrates independent, beneficial effects on mental health, much remains to be learned about the association between positive affective instability and suicidal ideation. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of suicidal ideation among Chinese working women and explored the differences between working women with and without suicidal ideation in the intensity and daily variability of positive affect. A total of 222 young working women of ages 22–36 years (M = 27.64, SD = 3.73) were recruited from a free weekend psychology lecture. The women subsequently completed a daily diary Day Reconstruction Method (DRM) as well as a suicidal ideation questionnaire. We used hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) to analyze the data, and the results showed that: (1) 10.81% of participates reported suicidal ideation, the intensity of positive affect (happiness, warmth/friendliness, interest and relaxation/calmness) was significantly lower for women with suicidal ideation compared to women without suicidal ideation; (2) differing diurnal patterns of positive emotions were observed between women with and without suicidal ideation; women with suicidal ideation demonstrated a significantly lower trend of growth and a higher volatility in happiness, warmth/friendliness, relaxation/calmness. Given that lower intensity of positive affect and greater affective instability significantly predicted suicidal ideation in Chinese women, researchers should pay more attention to the role of positive affect in female suicide prevention research and intervention efforts in the future.

“…La variable género bajo el análisis de una Anova de dos vías dio como resultado que existe una diferencia significativa (p = 0,000) con respecto al sexo de los adolescentes y el riesgo de suicidio, donde se establece que las mujeres presentan un mayor riesgo de suicidio que el sexo masculino, independiente de la localidad; estos resultados coinciden con lo planteado en la literatura, donde prácticamente sin excepción se confiere un riesgo entre 2 y 4 veces mayor de intentar el suicidio en las adolescentes mujeres sobre los adolescentes hombres (40,41). Respecto a la realidad nacional, se identifica que estos resultados concuerdan con otros estudios realizados en Chile, como los de Valdivia et al y por Ventura et al en la Región Metropolitana (31,42), donde se plantea un mayor riesgo de suicidio en las adolescentes mujeres, pero una mayor letalidad en adolescentes hombres (2, 9, 31), esto debido principalmente, según estudios del Minsal, a que las mujeres, cuando llegan a intentar el suicidio, utilizan métodos menos letales que los hombres (2).…”

“…Al hablar de género se establece que las mujeres, casi sin excepción, poseen mayor riesgo de suicidio que los hombres en casi la totalidad de las investigaciones (31,40,41,42), resultados que son coincidentes con los nuestros (F = 17,861; p > 0,05). Según el análisis de datos, no se observó ningún efecto de interacción significativo entre el género y la localidad (F = 2,305; p > 0,05), resultado que es concordante con otras investigaciones a nivel nacional (31,42).…”

Objetivo: comparar el riesgo de suicidio de adolescentes de enseñanza media, residentes de localidades urbanas y rurales por género en la Región de Coquimbo, Chile. Material y método: la investigación es de tipo cuantitativo descriptivo no experimental, en una muestra no probabilística. En noviembre del 2016, de forma anónima, se aplicó el Cuestionario de Screening de Suicidalidad de Okasha, sobre tendencia suicida, a una muestra de 349 adolescentes de 14-19 años (48,7 % hombres-51,3 % mujeres), que asistían a establecimientos educativos urbanos y rurales, de la región de Coquimbo, en Chile. Se utilizó una ANOVA de dos vías para las variables localidad y género. Resultados: no existen diferencias en el riesgo de suicidio según localización geográfica, pero sí por género; se presentó un 15,76 % de adolescentes femeninas con riesgo suicida. Conclusiones: el suicidio es un problema de salud pública mundial, sobre el que no se ha abordado adecuadamente a nivel de prevención y promoción en salud; existe diversidad de factores que influyen en el riesgo suicida y el factor asociado al género femenino presenta un mayor riesgo; mientras que la ubicación geográfica de residencia no registra riesgo.
