Abstract
Background: Suicide is among the leading cause of death in adolescence and suicidal ideation is its most critical precursor. Suicidal ideation being a complex phenomenon involving multiple factors, this study aimed to use network analysis to depict the interplay of risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation.
Methods: An online survey was conducted with 614 Saudi adolescents (mean age = 16.16, SD = 1.88, range = 12-18, 61% female). Participants completed instruments to assess suicidal ideation, bullying victimization and perpetration, psychache, family cohesion and adaptability, positive parenting, and multidimensional social support. A psychological network analysis was estimated to determine the most central risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation.
Results: As per strength and expected influence centrality, the risk factors that were central were psychache and bullying victimization, and the central protective factors were family cohesion and support from significant other. The network analysis showed that other factors directly connected with suicidal ideation were bullying perpetration, family adaptability, positive parenting, support from family, and support from friends.
Conclusion: This network study highlights the importance of addressing both risk and protective factors in an attempt to deal with suicidal ideation. The findings suggest that interventions targeting psychological pain, bullying, and family bonds may be crucial in the treatment and prevention of suicidal ideation among adolescents.

The International Journal of Social Psychiatry, established in 1954, is a leading publication dedicated to the field of social psychiatry. It serves as a platform for the exchange of research findings and discussions on the influence of social, environmental, and cultural factors on mental health and well-being. The journal is particularly relevant to psychiatrists and multidisciplinary professionals globally who are interested in understanding the broader context of psychiatric disorders and their impact on individuals and communities.
Social psychiatry, as a discipline, focuses on the origins and outcomes of mental health issues within a social framework, recognizing the interplay between societal structures and individual mental health. The journal draws connections with related fields such as social anthropology, cultural psychiatry, and sociology, and is influenced by the latest developments in these areas.
The journal also places a special emphasis on fast-track publication for brief communications, ensuring that timely and significant research can be disseminated quickly. Additionally, it strives to reflect its international readership by publishing state-of-the-art reviews from various regions around the world, showcasing the diverse practices and perspectives within the psychiatric disciplines.
