Abstract

Suicide is more effectively prevented when its first manifestations are detected. The first warning sign may be suicidal ideation, so identifying these thoughts and the factors that protect against them is essential if solutions are to be found to this social problem. The purpose of this study, then, is to determine the role of religiosity, perceived social support, and depressive symptomatology in the suicidal ideation of young people. We administered the following questionnaires to a sample of 409 subjects (60.64% women) between 18 and 29 years old: Brief Scale of Religiosity, Beck Depression Inventory, Scale for Suicide Ideation, and Functional Social Support Questionnaire (which includes the subscales Confidential social support and Affective social support). Participants were resident in Spain (84.60%) or Andorra (15.41%). The results show significant correlations between suicidal ideation and the two factors of perceived social support (confidential social support and affective social support). These relationships were still significant after controlling for depressive symptomatology. However, religiosity was not correlated with suicidal ideation. Therefore, the results suggest that perceived social support is a protection factor against suicidal ideas in young men and women. In fact, people who experience suicidal ideation tend to have a greater sense of dissatisfaction in relation to the social support received by such social groups as family and friends. On the other hand, the data of the present investigation suggest that religiosity has an indirect relationship with suicidal ideation in young Spanish and Andorran community populations, through its relationship with social support.

摘要

当发现自杀的最初表现时，可以更有效地预防自杀。第一个警告信号可能是自杀的念头，因此，如果要找到解决此社会问题的方法，那么确定这些思想和防止思想的因素至关重要。因此，本研究的目的是确定宗教信仰，可感知的社会支持以及抑郁症状在年轻人的自杀观念中的作用。我们对18至29岁之间的409名受试者（女性占60.64％）的样本进行了以下问卷调查：宗教信仰简短量表，贝克抑郁量表，自杀意念量表和功能性社会支持问卷（包括子表保密社会支持）和情感社会支持）。参与者居住在西班牙（84.60％）或安道尔（15.41％）。结果表明，自杀意念与感知到的社会支持的两个因素（机密社会支持和情感社会支持）之间存在显着相关性。在控制了抑郁症状后，这些关系仍然很重要。但是，宗教信仰与自杀意念没有关联。因此，结果表明，感知到的社会支持是防止男女青年自杀观念的保护因素。实际上，经历过自杀念头的人们往往对家人和朋友等社会团体所获得的社会支持有更大的不满感。另一方面，本次调查的数据表明，宗教信仰与西班牙年轻人和安道尔人社区自杀意念之间存在间接关系，
