Impaired life skills, family dysfunction, negative thinking and low life satisfaction may predispose to suicidal behavior. There is paucity of study that examined these variables in suicide attempt.
This study was conducted to know the levels and the relationships of these variables in attempted suicide.
Hospital-based cross-sectional.
In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, 328 participants with a history of attempted suicide were assessed using socio-demographic and clinical pro forma, life skills profile (LSP), perseverative thinking questionnaire (PTQ), satisfaction with life scale (SLS), and family assessment device (FAD) after obtaining informed consent.
Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis-H test and regression analysis.
Results revealed a mean scores on PTQ, LSP, SLS, and FAD to be 29.93 (standard deviation [SD] =13.5), 21.32 (SD = 13.5), 15.71 (SD = 6.8), and 26.46 (SD = 4.57), respectively. In linear regression analysis ( = 0.815, df = 3, = 475.715, = 0.001), LSP score had a statistically significant positive association with PTQ score (beta = 0.861, = 32.76, = 0.001) and FAD score (beta = 0.068, = 2.79, = 0.0046); while negative association with SLS score (beta = -0.078, = -2.92, = 0.004).
The study findings suggest of impaired life skills, life dissatisfaction, impaired family function, and elevated repetitive negative thinking pattern in attempted suicide. Better life skills have a positive association with higher life satisfaction, family function, and low repetitive thinking and thus seem to have a protective effect against suicidal behavior in the population.
生活技能受损、家庭功能失调、消极思维以及较低的生活满意度可能会引发自杀行为。很少有研究在自杀未遂案例中考察这些变量。
本研究旨在了解这些变量在自杀未遂案例中的水平及其相互关系。
基于医院的横断面研究。
在这项基于医院的横断面研究中，328名有自杀未遂史的参与者在获得知情同意后，使用社会人口统计学和临床表格、生活技能概况（LSP）、持续思维问卷（PTQ）、生活满意度量表（SLS）以及家庭评估工具（FAD）进行评估。
描述性统计、曼-惠特尼U检验、克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯H检验以及回归分析。
结果显示，PTQ、LSP、SLS和FAD的平均得分分别为29.93（标准差[SD]=13.5）、21.32（SD = 13.5）、15.71（SD = 6.8）和26.46（SD = 4.57）。在线性回归分析中（R² = 0.815，自由度df = 3，F = 475.715，p = 0.001），LSP得分与PTQ得分（β = 0.861，t = 32.76，p = 0.001）以及FAD得分（β = 0.068，t = 2.79，p = 0.0046）存在显著的正相关；而与SLS得分呈负相关（β = -0.078，t = -2.92，p = 0.004）。
研究结果表明，自杀未遂者存在生活技能受损、生活不满意、家庭功能受损以及重复消极思维模式增加的情况。良好的生活技能与更高的生活满意度、家庭功能以及较少的重复思维呈正相关，因此似乎对人群中的自杀行为具有保护作用。
