Suicide has been the second leading cause of death for 18- to 24-year-olds in the United States since 2011. The stress experienced by undergraduate college students has the potential to increase one's risk for suicide. Resilience theory was used as a theoretical framework to examine the interplay between risk and protective factors. A cross-sectional and correlational design was used to assess the mediating effects of positive thinking and/or social support on suicide resilience in 131 college students 18 to 24 years old who completed an online survey. The study found an indirect effect of self-esteem on suicide resilience through positive thinking and social support indicating that as self-esteem increases, positive thinking and social support also increase, which leads to an increase in resilience. The study also found a direct effect of self-esteem, positive thinking, and social support on suicide resilience. The findings inform the development of tailored interventions to build suicide resilience in college students.
自2011年以来，自杀一直是美国18至24岁人群的第二大死因。本科大学生所经历的压力有可能增加自杀风险。复原力理论被用作理论框架来研究风险因素与保护因素之间的相互作用。采用横断面相关设计，对131名18至24岁完成在线调查的大学生进行评估，以考察积极思维和/或社会支持对自杀复原力的中介作用。研究发现，自尊通过积极思维和社会支持对自杀复原力产生间接影响，即随着自尊水平的提高，积极思维和社会支持也会增加，进而导致复原力增强。研究还发现自尊、积极思维和社会支持对自杀复原力有直接影响。这些研究结果为制定针对性干预措施以增强大学生的自杀复原力提供了依据。
