This study investigates risk factors for suicidal ideation among Turkish bereaved adults, focusing on bereavement-related guilt. Utilizing the Prolonged Grief Scale, Bereavement Guilt Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory's suicide item, 570 bereaved participants were assessed. Suicidal ideation prevalence was found to be 20.2%. Higher rates of low income, single status, and unnatural death, as well as younger ages of the bereaved and deceased, were observed in the suicidal ideation group. Additionally, significantly elevated scores on the Prolonged Grief Scale and Bereavement Guilt Scale subscales were found in this group. After controlling for other risk factors, scores for survivor guilt and perceived responsibility for the death significantly increased the likelihood of belonging to the suicidal ideation group. These findings underscore the critical role of addressing feelings of guilt in psychological interventions aimed at mitigating suicidal ideation among bereaved individuals.
本研究调查了土耳其成年丧亲者中自杀意念的风险因素，重点关注与丧亲相关的内疚感。利用延长哀伤量表、丧亲内疚量表和贝克抑郁量表中的自杀项目，对570名丧亲参与者进行了评估。发现自杀意念的患病率为20.2%。在有自杀意念的组中，观察到低收入、单身状态和非自然死亡的比例较高，以及丧亲者和逝者的年龄较小。此外，该组在延长哀伤量表和丧亲内疚量表子量表上的得分显著升高。在控制了其他风险因素后，幸存者内疚感得分和对死亡的感知责任显著增加了属于有自杀意念组的可能性。这些发现强调了在旨在减轻丧亲者自杀意念的心理干预中，处理内疚感的关键作用。
