“…Suicide ideation is an important risk factor for attempted and completed suicide [Morgan and Stanton, 1997;Young et al, 1998;Lynch et al, 1999;Lyon et al, 2000;Nugent and Williams, 2001]. Rothman and Strijdom [2002] reported that suicide ideation in South African Police was associated with a sense of incoherence, independence, and social status.…”

“…One strategy would be to examine premorbid personal and occupational factors that increase suicide risk (Gershon et al 2002). Depression and suicide ideation are considered psychological risk factors for suicide (Kessler et al 1999(Kessler et al , 2005 and it has been suggested that both factors be examined in police officers (Berg et al 2003) Suicide Ideation Suicide ideation is an important risk factor for attempted and completed suicide (Morgan and Stanton 1997;Young et al 1998;Lynch et al 1999;Lyon et al 2000;Nugent and Willams 2001). Ideation is a form of suicidal behavior and places a person at greater risk for suicide (Jacobs 1989).…”

Suicide in Police Work: Exploring Potential Contributing Influences

et al. 2008

Police officers are considered at increased risk for suicide. The objective of this study was to explore potential influences on suicide ideation among 105 randomly selected men and women urban police officers. Depression, gender, and marital status appeared to be most strongly associated with police suicidal ideation. Depressive symptoms were higher among women than men officers (12.5 percent vs. 6.2 percent). For each standard deviation increase in depressive symptoms, the prevalence ratio (PR) of suicide ideation increased 73 percent in women (PR=1.73, 95% CI=1.32-2.27) and 67 percent in men (PR=1.67, 95% CI=1.21-2.30). The association between depression and ideation was stronger among unmarried women officers (PR=4.43; 95% CI=2.19 -8.91) than married women officers (PR=1.39, 95% CI=1.09 -1.79). While depression has previously been associated with suicide, such results are unusual in a healthy working population such as the police.

“…In particular, self-esteem, hopelessness, locus of control, certain personality characteristics and depression are linked to suicidal ideation and attempts. The factor most strongly studied and established is the positive correlation between depression and suicidality; as depression increases, suicidal ideation and attempts increase (Benda, 2003;Freedenthal and Stiffman, 2004;Gil, 2003;Gilbar and Eden, 2000-01;Levy and Deykin, 1989;Nugent and Williams, 2001;Osgood and Brant, 1990;Palmer et al, 2003;Ron, 2002aRon, , 2002bRon, , 2004Townsend Carlson, 2001;Turner et al, 2002). This relationship is found across age groups, genders and cultures.…”

“…Self-esteem is another factor associated with mental health that is related to suicidal ideation and attempts, with low self-esteem being correlated to increased suicidal ideation and attempts (Nugent and Williams, 2001;Osgood and Brant, 1990;Palmer et al, 2003;Townsend Carlson, 2001;Turner et al, 2002). Nugent and Williams' study (2001) found an interactive co-morbidity between low self-esteem and depression, with the strength of the relationship between self-esteem and suicidal ideation increasing as the severity of depression increases.…”

SummarySocial workers encounter suicidal clients; however, little is known about social work's empirical knowledge base for suicide assessment and treatment. In the first comprehensive study of social work's contribution to the suicide literature, the authors conducted systematic electronic and manual searches for suicide research published in peer-reviewed journals by social work investigators for the period 1980-2006, with the purpose of ascertaining the state of clinical knowledge related to suicide risk factors and effective treatments. These findings reveal that despite recent increases to the study of suicide by social work researchers, they have contributed limited evidenced-based knowledge in the last twenty-six years on the treatment or prevention of suicide or suicide-related behaviours. The article outlines the risk factors for suicide and discusses the implications for clinical social work practice and research.
