Identifying elevated suicide ideation in college students is a critical step in preventing suicide attempts and deaths by suicide on college campuses. Although suicide ideation may be most prominent in students with severe depression, this should not suggest that only students with severe depression experience significant risk factors for suicide.
The purpose of these 3 studies was to explore the relation between suicide ideation and severity of depressive symptoms in college students.
In each study a sample of college students were recruited for participation.
Participants completed self-report assessments of depressive symptoms and suicide ideation.
The results of these studies suggest that although the greatest elevation in suicide ideation occurs at the highest depressive symptoms, significant suicide ideation is also experienced by college students with mild and moderate depressive symptoms.
The implications of these findings for the assessment of suicide ideation are discussed.
在大学生中识别出升高的自杀意念是预防校园自杀企图和自杀死亡的关键步骤。尽管自杀意念可能在患有严重抑郁症的学生中最为突出，但这不应表明只有患有严重抑郁症的学生才会经历自杀的重大风险因素。
这 3 项研究的目的是探讨大学生自杀意念与抑郁症状严重程度之间的关系。
在每项研究中，都招募了一组大学生参与。
参与者完成了关于抑郁症状和自杀意念的自我报告评估。
这些研究的结果表明，尽管自杀意念在抑郁症状最严重时达到最高水平，但轻度和中度抑郁症状的大学生也会经历显著的自杀意念。
讨论了这些发现对自杀意念评估的意义。
