Depression and suicide ideation regularly occur together. Yet, little is known about factors that buffer individuals against the development of suicide ideation. The present study investigated, whether positive mental health buffers the association between depression and suicide ideation in a longitudinal study design. A total of 207 German students (70.3% female; age: = 26.04, = 5.33) were assessed at a baseline evaluation and again twelve months later. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires. Linear hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Positive mental health was considered to moderate the impact of depression on suicide ideation - controlling for age and gender. Positive mental health was shown to moderate the impact of depression on suicide ideation: in those students who reported higher levels of positive mental health, depression severity showed no association with suicide ideation over time. Positive mental health seems to confer resilience and should be taken into account, when assessing individuals for suicide risk.
抑郁和自杀念头经常同时出现。然而,对于能保护个体不产生自杀念头的因素,我们却知之甚少。本研究在一项纵向研究设计中调查了积极心理健康状况是否能缓冲抑郁与自杀念头之间的关联。共有207名德国学生(70.3%为女性;年龄:均值 = 26.04,标准差 = 5.33)在基线评估时接受了测评,并在十二个月后再次接受测评。数据通过自我报告问卷收集。采用线性分层回归分析对数据进行分析。在控制年龄和性别的情况下,积极心理健康状况被认为可缓和抑郁对自杀念头的影响。结果表明,积极心理健康状况可缓和抑郁对自杀念头的影响:在那些报告积极心理健康水平较高的学生中,随着时间推移,抑郁严重程度与自杀念头并无关联。积极心理健康状况似乎能赋予心理韧性,在评估个体自杀风险时应予以考虑。
