This study was designed to explore the relationships between depression, and the likelihood of suicide among young adolescents by considering various factors.
It was conducted in a descriptive-cross-sectional format, with fieldwork spanning from November 16, 2022, to June 30, 2023. The study assessed the likelihood of depression, and suicide in young adolescents attending a university in Eastern Turkey.
Sociodemographic features survey form, Beck's Depression Inventory and Suicide Probability Scale were used to collect data.
The results from this investigation indicated that women, individuals with chronic illnesses, those with a history of psychiatric conditions, those expressing a constant desire to die, those with suicidal thoughts or plans, and those with a family member who had attempted suicide exhibited significantly higher mean scores for depression and suicide. There was a positive correlation between high depression scores and suicidal tendencies. However, no conclusive evidence of a link between depression, and suicide was established.

It is imperative that individuals identified as being at risk be promptly referred to appropriate units for comprehensive interventions and support.
本研究旨在探讨抑郁与青少年自杀可能性之间的关系，并考虑到各种因素。
本研究采用描述性横断面设计，于 2022 年 11 月 16 日至 2023 年 6 月 30 日进行。该研究评估了土耳其东部一所大学的青少年抑郁和自杀的可能性。
采用社会人口学特征调查表格、贝克抑郁量表和自杀可能性量表收集数据。
本研究结果表明，女性、患有慢性病的人、有精神病史的人、经常想死的人、有自杀念头或计划的人、以及有自杀未遂家族成员的人，抑郁和自杀的平均得分明显更高。高抑郁得分与自杀倾向呈正相关。然而，并没有确凿的证据表明抑郁与自杀之间存在关联。
在这项研究中，确定了某些人口统计学和心理因素与青少年中抑郁和自杀倾向的升高有关。至关重要的是，应及时将被确定为处于危险中的个人转介到适当的单位，以进行全面的干预和支持。
