Individuals with persistent depressive disorder (PDD) are at increased risk for suicidality. Suicidality may be precipitated by loneliness. However, their temporal interplay in PDD has not been studied. We conducted a feasibility study using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to measure short-term courses of suicidality and loneliness in 20 inpatients with PDD and current suicidality. EMA adherence of 13 completers was 81.3%. Suicidal ideations and loneliness varied with one standard deviation over three to six hours. This pilot study confirmed the feasibility of EMA in PDD and provided new insights in dynamics of suicidality and loneliness informing future study designs.
患有持续性抑郁症（PDD）的个体自杀风险增加。孤独可能会引发自杀行为。然而，它们在PDD中的时间相互作用尚未得到研究。我们进行了一项可行性研究，使用生态瞬时评估（EMA）来测量20名患有PDD且目前有自杀倾向的住院患者的自杀行为和孤独感的短期病程。13名完成者的EMA依从率为81.3%。自杀意念和孤独感在三到六个小时内有一个标准差的变化。这项初步研究证实了EMA在PDD中的可行性，并为自杀行为和孤独感的动态变化提供了新的见解，为未来的研究设计提供了参考。
