The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on many risk and protective factors associated with suicide. The aim of this study was to identify pandemic-related factors associated with suicidal ideation in the two European countries, Lithuania and Poland, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample comprised 2,459 participants in both countries; 57.2% of the respondents were female. The of the participants was 43.45 years ( = 15.91). Pandemic-related stressors and adjustment problems were measured to assess associations with suicidal ideation. High levels of adjustment problems, loneliness, and burden due to staying at home more during the COVID-19 pandemic were significantly associated with suicide ideation in both Lithuania and Poland. This was a cross-sectional online study with different recruitment approaches in the two countries. Adjustment problems, loneliness, and stressors related to staying at home more could be important targets for suicide prevention amid the pandemic.
新冠疫情对许多与自杀相关的风险和保护因素产生了影响。本研究的目的是在新冠疫情期间，确定与立陶宛和波兰这两个欧洲国家自杀意念相关的大流行相关因素。该样本包括来自这两个国家的 2459 名参与者；57.2%的受访者为女性。参与者的平均年龄为 43.45 岁（ = 15.91）。评估了与自杀意念相关的与大流行相关的压力源和适应问题。在立陶宛和波兰，高水平的适应问题、孤独感以及因新冠疫情而更多地呆在家里所带来的负担与自杀意念显著相关。这是一项横断面在线研究，在两个国家采用了不同的招募方法。在大流行期间，适应问题、孤独感以及与更多居家相关的压力源可能是自杀预防的重要目标。
