Aims

Evaluate the association between suicidal ideation, age,

depression and physical comorbidities in a sample of acute females

psychiatric in-patients.

Methods

81 psychiatric female in-patients were evaluated dur-

ing their first day of hospitalization through MADRS, SSI and the

presence of organic comorbidity has been collected together with

demographic data. All the evaluations were carried out at the Psy-

chiatric Clinic, University of Genova, Italy.

Results

Mean age 48 (age–range value: 74, high variability). Pear-

son’s Chi-squared test showed: significant association between SSI

and MADRS (

P

= 0,027; = 0,05); no association between SSI and

age (

P

= 0,194; =0,05); no association between SSI and presence

medical illness (

P

= 0,132; = 0,05); no association between SSI and

number of medical illness (

P

= 0,186; = 0,05).

Conclusions

Our results show that the levels of suicidal ideation

in psychiatric females are independent from age, presence and

number of physical comorbidities. Suicidal ideation appears to be

associated only with levels of depression. Our results challenge evi-

dence from a large number of current studies and, if confirmed by

further research, would lead to reconsider major suicide risk fac-

tors. Further research to investigate these associations on larger

samples is needed.

Objectives

Creating information model of suicidal behavior in

adolescents from Russia and Northern China. Computer informa-

tion model of society based on the description of game-theoretic

approach to complex conflict systems.

Methods

Information modeling, ethnographic method.

Results

A questionnaire was conducted through the process of

reverse translation for correct interpretation of specific terms. In

the Chinese group, 25% had a tendency to suicidal behavior, 34.2%

thought about the possibility of suicide. First among the factors

shaping suicidal behavior – social and economic (difficulty enter-

ing the study and employment, low social security), followed by

interpersonal factors (break with a partner), psychopathological

family history, depression, high anxiety, alcoholism and drug use,

factors social immaturity (responsibility, independence), loneli-

ness. The Russian group 20% had a tendency to suicidal behavior,

24.6% of them thought about the possibility of suicide. The main

cause of suicidal behavior in adolescents Russian – interpersonal

factor (failed love, personally-family conflict), then the conflicts

associated with antisocial behavior, and only then - the socioeco-

nomic factors (material and living difficulties, conflicts related to

education and career, drug addiction, substance abuse, anxiety dis-

orders and depression).

Conclusions

The method of information modeling allows to

investigate the causes of conflict between the individual teenager

using game-theoretic methods and the most effective in treating

suicidal behavior in teenagers aggressive information environment

(kiberbullies), thereby reducing the level of suicidality in adoles-

cents. Suicidal behavior among Chinese adolescents occurs because

of fear of the future, and in Russian – the past. A need for more

high-quality comprehensive prevention of suicidal behavior.

Introduction

Older adults with depression resist accepting

depression screening and seeking treatment due to stigmatization

of mental disorders and little knowledge about depression. This

studywas undertaken to develop and determine the psychometrics

of an instrument for assessing triggers of suicidal ideation among

older outpatients.

Method

Participants were recruited from older outpatients of

two hospitals in northern Taiwan. An initial 32-item Triggers of

Suicidal Ideation Inventory (TSII) was developed, and its items

were validated by experts in two runs of Delphi technique survey.

After this TSII was pre-tested in 200 elderly outpatients, 12 items

were retained. The 12-item TSII was examined by criterion validity,

construct validity, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest

reliability.

Results

TSII scores were significantly and positively correlated

with the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (

r

= 0.45,

P

< 0.01), and

UCLA Loneliness scores (

r

= 0.55,

P

< 0.01), indicating satisfied crite-

rion validity. Participants with depressive tendency tended to have

higher TSII scores than participants with no depressive tendency

(

t

= 8.62,

P

< 0.01), indicating good construct validity. Cronbach’s

and the intraclass correlation coefficient for the TSII were 0.70

and 0.99 respectively, indicating acceptable internal consistency

reliability and excellent test-retest reliability. Receiver operat-

ing characteristic analysis revealed that the area under the curve

was 0.83, indicating excellent ability to detect triggers of suicidal

ideation. With a cutoff point of 2, the sensitivity and specify were

0.86 and 0.67, respectively.

Conclusions

The TSII can be completed in 5minutes and is

perceived as easy to complete. Moreover, the inventory yielded

highly acceptable parameters of validity and reliability.

Introduction

The long-term associations between posttraumatic

stress disorder (PTSD) and suicidal ideation (SI) among ex-prisoners

of war (ex-POWs) has recently been exemplified. Several studies

have revealed the toll of war captivity on secondary traumatization’
