INTRODUCTION
An increase of suicidal thinking within the COVID-19 pandemic has been postulated. Yet, direct comparisons with pre-COVID-19 rates are missing.
METHODS
The present study investigated whether levels and rates of suicidal ideation have changed between 2016 and 2020. Data of = 664 university students (five cohorts: 2016: = 105, 2017: = 117, 2018: = 108, 2019: = 154, 2020: = 180) were collected by online surveys.
RESULTS
The rate of students suffering from suicidal ideation was twice as high in 2020 than in previous years. Furthermore, levels of suicidal thinking and of depression were higher in 2020 than in 2019 and 2016.
LIMITATIONS
The sample size of the current study was rather modest and suicide ideation was assessed with a single item only.
CONCLUSIONS
The rate of students suffering from suicidal ideation was twice as high in 2020 than in previous years. Help-lines and online counselling should be promoted to the public and the possibilities of telepsychotherapy for suicidal people should be used and expanded.
引言
据推测，在新冠疫情期间自杀念头有所增加。然而，与新冠疫情前的发生率缺乏直接对比。
方法
本研究调查了2016年至2020年间自杀意念的水平和发生率是否发生了变化。通过在线调查收集了n = 664名大学生的数据（五个队列：2016年：n = 105，2017年：n = 117，2018年：n = 108，2019年：n = 154，2020年：n = 180）。
结果
2020年有自杀意念的学生比例是前几年的两倍。此外，2020年的自杀念头和抑郁水平高于2019年和2016年。
局限性
本研究的样本量较小，且仅用一个条目评估自杀意念。
结论
2020年有自杀意念的学生比例是前几年的两倍。应向公众推广求助热线和在线咨询，并利用和扩大针对有自杀倾向者的远程心理治疗可能性。
