Abstract
Depressive symptoms and interpersonal needs as mediators of forgiveness and suicidal behavior among rural primary care patients.
Nsamenang, S.~~Webb, J.~~et al.
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US, and rates of suicide are higher in rural than urban areas. As proposed by the Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide, thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness are risk factors for suicidal behavior, although protective individual-level characteristics such as forgiveness, may indirectly affect suicidal behavior by decreasing the deleterious effect of thwarted interpersonal needs.
