The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) with suicidal behavior and other clinical variables in 212 hospitalized suicide attempters. Another purpose was to analyze the usefulness of BHS in this particular context. Those who later committed suicide (N = 13) had significantly higher median scores than those who did not. Even though the median BHS score for the total population was above the cut-off score for future suicide risk, suggested by Beck et al., the relative ratio of correctly positive/false positive was low. Therefore the BHS does not seem to be a satisfactory instrument for predicting future suicide in hospitalized suicide attempters. Our findings rather suggest that the BHS is related to depression ratings, mood disorders and/or personality disorders.
本研究的主要目的是调查贝克绝望量表（BHS）与212名住院自杀未遂者的自杀行为及其他临床变量之间的关系。另一个目的是分析BHS在这一特定背景下的有用性。后来自杀的人（N = 13）的中位数得分显著高于未自杀的人。尽管总体人群的BHS中位数得分高于贝克等人提出的未来自杀风险临界值，但真阳性/假阳性的相对比率较低。因此，BHS似乎不是预测住院自杀未遂者未来自杀的令人满意的工具。我们的研究结果反而表明，BHS与抑郁评分、情绪障碍和/或人格障碍有关。
