Neki osobni prediktori suicidalnosti studenata

Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio ispitati odnos razmišljanja o samoubojstvu, osobina ličnosti i razloga za život kod studentica. Kao mjera za ispitivanje razmišljanja o samoubojstvu se koristio Upitnik razmišljanja o samoubojstvu za odrasle (ASIQ, Reynolds 1991), a za procjenu važnosti pojedinih razloga za život Upitnik razloga za život za studente (CSRLI, Westefeld i sur., 1992), koji su prevedeni na hrvatski jezik. U prvom dijelu istraživanja, u kojem je sudjelovalo 374 sudionika (72 studenta i 302 studentice), pristupilo se psihometrijskoj provjeri tih dvaju mjera. Eksploratornom faktorskom analizom je potvrđena jednofaktorska struktura ASIQ upitnika, dok je kod CSRLI upitnika izlučeno 5 faktora, odnosno jedan manje u odnosu na izvornu verziju. U drugom dijelu istraživanja, u kojem je sudjelovalo 245 studentica, za ispitivanje osobina ličnosti je primijenjena hrvatska verzija upitnika IPIP-50 (Mlačić i Goldberg, 2007) te Upitnik općih podataka. Analizom varijance je utvrđeno da studentice s manjom učestalošću razmišljanja o samoubojstvu razloge za život na podljestvicama Vjerovanje o preživljavanju i suočavanju, Briga za studij i budućnost, Moralno protivljenje i Odgovornost prema obitelji i prijateljima procjenjuju značajno važnijim za nepočinjenje samoubojstva od studentica s većom učestalošću razmišljanja o samoubojstvu. Također, utvrđeno je da studentice s manjom učestalošću razmišljanja o samoubojstvu postižu značajno veće rezultate na dimenzijama ekstraverzije i emocionalne stabilnosti u odnosu na studentice s većom učestalošću razmišljanja o samoubojstvu. Nadalje, kao značajni prediktori u objašnjenju varijance razmišljanja o samoubojstvu su se pokazali emocionalna stabilnost te podljestvice CSRLI upitnika – Vjerovanje o preživljavanju i suočavanju te Moralno protivljenje. Ekstraverzija, savjesnost i ugodnost su bile povezane sa svim podljestvicama CSRLI, osim sa podljestvicom Straha od samoubojstva i socijalnog neodobravanja. Emocionalna stabilnost je bila povezana sa podljestvicama Vjerovanje o preživljavanju i suočavanju te Moralno protivljenje.The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between suicidal ideation, personality traits and the reasons for living among students. Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (ASIQ, Reynolds 1991) was used as a measure for examining the suicidal ideation, and College Students' Reasons for Living Inventory (CSRLI, Westefeld et al., 1992) was used for the assessment of importance of the individual reasons for living, and both of them were translated in Croatian. In the first part of the study, in which 374 participants (72 male students and 302 female students) took part in, the psychometric evaluation of two measures was carried out. Exploratory factor analysis revealed the one-factor structure of ASIQ, while 5-factors were extracted in CSRLI, i.e., one less compared to the original version. In the second part of the study, in which 245 female students participated, among ASIQ i CSRLI, the Croatian version of International Personality Item Pool – IPIP 50 (Mlačić i Goldberg, 2007) was used for the investigation of personality traits, along with some of sociodemographic data. One-way ANOVA showed that the female students with less frequency of suicidal ideation, the reasons for living on the subscales Survival and Coping Beliefs, College and Future-Related Concerns, Moral Objections and Responsibility to Friends and Family evaluate significantly more important for not committing the suicide compared to the female students with more frequency of suicidal ideation. Also, there was established that the female students with less frequency of suicidal ideation achieved significantly higher results at the dimensions of extraversion and emotional stability in relation to the female students with more frequency of suicidal ideation. Further, it was shown that emotional stability and CSRLI subscales – Survival and Coping Beliefs and Moral Objections are significant predictors in explaining the variance of the suicidal ideation. Extraversion, conscientiousness and agreeableness were related with all CSRLI subscales, except with the subscale Fear of Suicide and Social Disapproval. Emotional stability was related with the subscales Survival and Coping Beliefs and Moral Objections
