The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between religious orientation, coping strategies and suicidal behaviour among secondary school adolescents and college students. A total of 196 participants (73 adolescents and 123 adults college students) completed the online survey consisting of the Religious-Orientation Scale-Revised, Brief COPE and Suicidal Behaviours Questionnaire-Revised. Adolescents in secondary school had higher odds of suicidal thoughts and behaviour than college students (OR 4.40, 95% CI: 1.133, 17.094, = 0.032). Individuals who employed an avoidant coping strategy had higher odds of suicidal thoughts and behaviour after adjusting for other relevant variables, which indicated that when a person engages in avoidant coping strategy, it is most likely that they have a higher odds of suicidal thoughts and behaviour (OR 1.118, 95% CI: 1.050, 1.189, p < 0.001). There is an urgent need to initiate psychological interventions to reduce suicide behaviour risk among Malaysian secondary school adolescents.
本研究旨在调查马来西亚中学生和大学生的宗教取向、应对策略与自杀行为之间的关系。共有196名参与者（73名青少年和123名成年大学生）完成了在线调查，该调查包括修订后的宗教取向量表、简易应对方式问卷和修订后的自杀行为问卷。中学生出现自杀念头和行为的几率高于大学生（比值比4.40，95%置信区间：1.133，17.094，P = 0.032）。在对其他相关变量进行调整后，采用回避应对策略的个体出现自杀念头和行为的几率更高，这表明当一个人采用回避应对策略时，他们出现自杀念头和行为的几率很可能更高（比值比1.118，95%置信区间：1.050，1.189，P < 0.001）。迫切需要开展心理干预，以降低马来西亚中学生的自杀行为风险。
