The Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPTS) has received support for its role in understanding suicidal thoughts and behaviors. However, few longitudinal studies have focused on testing this theory in university students. The present study aimed to confirm the theoretical model of the IPTS in a sample of 225 Spanish university students, using path analysis in a longitudinal study. We assessed thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness at T1 and hopelessness and suicidal ideation at T2, 12-14 weeks later. Moreover, we assessed suicidal ideation weekly for 14 weeks. Path analyses confirmed the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide model, with thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness as direct and indirect predictors of suicidal ideation through hopelessness. Providers of guidance and clinical services in university settings should be trained to identify perceived burdensomeness, social belongingness, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation when screening for suicide prevention.
人际理论的自杀 (IPTS) 已经收到支持其作用在理解自杀的想法和行为。然而，很少有纵向研究集中于测试这一理论在大学生。本研究旨在确认理论模型的 IPTS 在样本 225 西班牙大学生，使用路径分析在一项纵向研究。我们评估了受挫归属感和感知负担 T1 和无望和自杀意念 T2，12-14 周后。此外，我们评估了自杀意念每周 14 周。路径分析证实了人际理论的自杀模型，与受挫归属感和感知负担作为直接和间接的预测自杀意念通过无望。提供指导和临床服务的机构在大学环境中应该被训练来识别感知负担，社会归属感，无望，和自杀意念时的筛查自杀预防。
