Background With the rapid aging of the population structure, and the suicide ideation rate also increasing year by year, the ratio of people over 65 to the total number of deaths is increasing yearly. The study provides a reference for researchers interested in older adults’ care to explore SI further affecting older adults in the […]

Deliberate self-harm is a widespread yet often hidden problem in the community. Insomnia is known to be an independent risk factor for suicide. The quality of life of a person paints a picture of the stressors which might have lead to the act of self harm. So we conducted a cross sectional study of 40 […]

Objective: Self-harm and suicidality are associated with substantial social and economic burden, especially among children, adolescents and young adults. The aim of this review was to systematically synthesize the literature on the association between health-related quality of life and self-harm/suicidality in children, adolescents and young adults. Methods: Searches were conducted via MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, EconLit […]

Background: Suicidal ideation (SI) is a cardinal aspect of major depressive disorder (MDD); however, patient-reported outcomes data from large-scale surveys are limited concerning SI in the context of MDD. This study aims to understand the association between varying levels of SI and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), work productivity, healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and associated costs […]

Suicide among adolescents is a significant public health concern in the U.S., especially within American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities. Lack of quality of life (QoL) estimates for both suicide ideation and depression specific to the AIAN population hinders the ability to compare interventions in cost-effectiveness analysis. We surveyed 200 AI youth and young […]

We qualitatively analyzed responses from 29 patients who endorsed suicidal ideation but did not meet depression criteria. Two […]

Background Limited research has been conducted to quantify the level of disability and health related quality of life (HRQoL) associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviour. The aims of the current study were to (1) describe levels of disability and HRQoL in an Australian sample of adults with suicidal ideation, (2) examine the effect of zero, […]

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of information on the cost-effectiveness of suicide prevention interventions. The current study examines the cost-effectiveness of a multifaceted structured intervention aiming to improve adherence to the national suicide practice guideline in comparison with usual implementation. METHODS: In the intervention condition, professionals of psychiatric departments were trained using an e-learning supported […]

Problem-solving deficits and poor health–related quality of life are associated with suicide risk; yet, little is known about the interrelations between these variables. In 220 primary care patients, we examined the potential mediating role of physical and mental health–related quality of life on the relation between social problem–solving ability and suicidal behavior. Participants completed the […]

Highlights • Suicidal patients have lower health-related quality of life than the general population. Hopelessness was associated with lower mental health-related quality of life in suicidal patients. The number of previous suicide attempted together with age and medical disease were associated with lower physical health-related quality of life among these patients.
