Background: Stressful life events and suicide ideation regularly occur together. Yet, little is known about factors that buffer individuals against the development of suicide ideation. Aim: In a long-term follow-up study design, it was investigated whether positive mental health, that is, high levels of subjective and psychological well-being, buffers the association between stressful life events and suicide ideation. Method: A total of 126 German students (80.2% female; age: M = 24.29, SD = 5.21) were assessed at a baseline evaluation and again 24 months later. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires. Results: Linear hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Positive mental health was considered to moderate the impact of stressful life events on suicide ideation - controlling for age and gender. Limitations: Current results are limited to university students. Conclusions: Positive mental health interacts with stressful life events, such that those with high levels of positive mental health show an attenuated increase in suicide ideation at elevated levels of stress. Positive mental health seems to confer resilience and should be focused on in counseling centers for students.

积极的心理健康、压力性生活事件和自杀意念。

背景：压力生活事件和自杀意念经常同时发生。然而，人们对缓冲个人防止自杀意念发展的因素知之甚少。目的：在长期随访研究设计中，调查了积极的心理健康，即高水平的主观和心理健康，是否可以缓冲压力性生活事件与自杀意念之间的关联。方法：总共 126 名德国学生（80.2% 女性；年龄：M = 24.29，SD = 5.21）在基线评估时进行评估，并在 24 个月后再次评估。使用自我报告问卷收集数据。结果：采用线性层次回归分析法对数据进行分析。积极的心理健康被认为可以减轻压力生活事件对自杀意念的影响——控制年龄和性别。限制：目前的结果仅限于大学生。结论：积极的心理健康与压力性生活事件相互作用，因此那些积极心理健康水平高的人在压力水平升高时表现出自杀意念的减弱。积极的心理健康似乎赋予韧性，应该在学生咨询中心重点关注。
