Studies which have explored the effect of spirituality on suicidality among patients with schizophrenia have been characterized by inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between spirituality and suicidality among stable patients with schizophrenia in Nigeria. The Daily Spiritual Experience Scale was applied to measure spirituality. There was found a significant relationship between spirituality and having had suicidal thoughts in a lifetime. Spirituality was negatively correlated with the severity of negative symptoms, total positive and negative syndrome scale score (PANSS), the severity of depression, and positively correlated with functioning.
研究探索了灵性对精神分裂症患者自杀倾向的影响，但结果不一致。本研究旨在检验尼日利亚稳定精神分裂症患者灵性与自杀倾向之间的关系。采用每日灵性体验量表测量灵性。发现灵性与一生中曾有过自杀念头之间存在显著关系。灵性与阴性症状严重程度、阳性和阴性症状量表总分（PANSS）、抑郁严重程度呈负相关，与功能呈正相关。
