Since suicide is one of the major health problems worldwide, the goal of the present study is to develop a psychometrically sound suicide risk screening tool named Suicide Screening Questionnaire- Self-Rating (SSQ-SR) to quantify the risk of suicidal behavior. The development process includes item generation, item revision and refinement, and validation. A total sample of 2,238 adults in South Korea was used for analysis. The results of factor analysis showed that the SSQ-SR, containing 25 items, supported a three-factor model: "Situational factors," "Negative self-perceptions and mental health factors," and "Suicidal thoughts and behaviors." Also, SSQ-SR showed satisfying internal consistency, concurrent validity and discriminant validity. Lastly, the results of ROC analysis showed a cut-off point of 33.5 for the low-risk group and 36.5 for the high-risk group. Considering these results, the current results demonstrate the SSQ-SR is a valid scale and therefore can contribute to future suicide-related studies and prevention.
由于自杀是全球主要的健康问题之一，本研究的目的是开发一种心理测量学上合理的自杀风险筛查工具，即自杀筛查问卷自评版（SSQ-SR），以量化自杀行为的风险。开发过程包括项目生成、项目修订与完善以及验证。本研究使用了韩国2238名成年人的总样本进行分析。因子分析结果表明，包含25个条目的SSQ-SR支持一个三因素模型：“情境因素”、“消极自我认知与心理健康因素”以及“自杀想法与行为”。此外，SSQ-SR表现出令人满意的内部一致性、同时效度和区分效度。最后，ROC分析结果显示低风险组的临界值为33.5，高风险组的临界值为36.5。考虑到这些结果，目前的研究结果表明SSQ-SR是一个有效的量表，因此可为未来与自杀相关的研究和预防做出贡献。
