AIM
To provide exploratory and descriptive evidence on the prevalence estimate and some demographic correlates of suicidal behaviour among nursing and midwifery college students in Ghana.
DESIGN
We used a cross-sectional survey design.
METHOD
An anonymous survey involving a randomly selected sample of 305 nursing and midwifery college students was conducted in March-May 2017. The Suicide Behavior Questionnaire-Revised was used to assess suicidal behaviour (i.e., ideation, planning, threat and attempt) and suicidal behaviour risk.
RESULTS
The lifetime prevalence of suicide ideations (15.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.11-0.20), plans (6.6%; 95% CI = 0.04-0.10), attempts (2.3%; 95% CI = 0.01-0.05), threats (13.4%; 95% CI = 0.10-0.18) and 12-month prevalence of ideations (21.3%; 95% CI = 0.17-0.26) are comparable to estimates found in both high-income and low- and middle-income countries. However, associations between the demographic variables studied and suicidal behaviour risk were not statistically significant.
目的
提供关于加纳护理与助产专业大学生自杀行为患病率估计以及一些人口统计学相关因素的探索性和描述性证据。
设计
我们采用了横断面调查设计。
方法
2017年3月至5月，对305名随机抽取的护理与助产专业大学生样本进行了匿名调查。使用修订后的自杀行为问卷来评估自杀行为（即意念、计划、威胁和企图）以及自杀行为风险。
结果
自杀意念的终生患病率（15.4%；95%置信区间[CI]=0.11 - 0.20）、计划（6.6%；95%CI = 0.04 - 0.10）、企图（2.3%；95%CI = 0.01 - 0.05）、威胁（13.4%；95%CI = 0.10 - 0.18）以及12个月内意念的患病率（21.3%；95%CI = 0.17 - 0.26）与高收入国家以及低收入和中等收入国家的估计值相当。然而，所研究的人口统计学变量与自杀行为风险之间的关联无统计学意义。
