The Western Pacific region accounts for 25% of global suicide rates globally. In the last decade, however, there is a rising concern over the rate of youth suicides in the region. In line with the regional vision of reducing the rate of non-communicable diseases by 2025, the study contributes to the literature by utilizing a scoping review approach to identify psychosocial risk factors associated with youth suicide in the region.
Publications on youth suicide in the Western Pacific region between 2010 and 2021 were reviewed. A total of 43 publications met the inclusion criteria and were read in full.
Psychosocial risk factors associated with suicide in each publication were identified and thematically classified into five themes: interpersonal factors, history of abuse, academic factors, work factors, and minority status.
Findings showed discrepancies in youth suicide research across member nations in the Western Pacific. Implications for regional policies on suicide prevention and future research were discussed.
西太平洋地区的自杀率占全球的25%。然而，在过去十年中，该地区青少年自杀率日益受到关注。为响应到2025年降低非传染性疾病发病率的区域愿景，本研究采用范围综述方法来确定该地区与青少年自杀相关的心理社会风险因素，从而为文献做出贡献。
对2010年至2021年间西太平洋地区有关青少年自杀的出版物进行了综述。共有43篇出版物符合纳入标准并进行了全文阅读。
确定了每篇出版物中与自杀相关的心理社会风险因素，并按主题分为五个主题：人际因素、虐待史、学业因素、工作因素和少数群体地位。
研究结果显示西太平洋地区各成员国在青少年自杀研究方面存在差异。讨论了对区域自杀预防政策和未来研究的影响。
