Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is an emerging critical medical condition among adolescents and young adults worldwide. They use different methods for expressing their emotional needs. The aim of this study was to identify the methods of NSSI used by adolescents and young adults who presented with different psychiatric disorders, and their utilized functions. A case–control study was done on 100 late adolescent and young adult patients who attended Suez Canal University with psychiatric disorders. Sociodemographic data was obtained then they were assessed by the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Brief Non-suicidal Self-Injury Assessment Tool. Among the case group, 54% used scratching for self-harm while 36% used cutting. The most common body areas were hands (44%) and arms (42%). Eighty percent of the case group endorsed non-suicidal self-harm for dealing with anger, while 78% to cope with uncomfortable feelings and 72% to relieve stress with no statistically significant difference between males or females, nor among psychiatric comorbidities. The most common method of NSSI was scratching and it was followed by cutting and banging. The most common body areas were hands and arms. Patients endorsed NSSI for various motives and several functions. However, Items on the automatic negative reinforcement scales were the most common functions, especially when dealing with anger.
非自杀性自伤(NSSI)是全球青少年中新出现的一种严重医疗状况。他们使用不同的方法来表达自己的情感需求。本研究旨在确定患有不同精神障碍的青少年和年轻人所使用的非自杀性自残方法及其利用功能。本研究对苏伊士运河大学的 100 名患有精神疾病的青少年患者进行了病例对照研究。在获得社会人口学数据后,他们接受了小型国际神经精神访谈和简易非自杀性自伤评估工具的评估。在病例组中,54%的人使用搔抓自残,36%的人使用切割自残。最常见的身体部位是手(44%)和胳膊(42%)。病例组中有 80% 的人赞同用非自杀性自残来处理愤怒,78% 的人赞同用非自杀性自残来应对不舒服的感觉,72% 的人赞同用非自杀性自残来缓解压力。最常见的非自残方法是抓挠,其次是割伤和撞击。最常见的身体部位是手和胳膊。患者认可 NSSI 有多种动机和多种功能。然而,自动负强化量表上的项目是最常见的功能,尤其是在处理愤怒时。

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness affecting approximately 1% of the population worldwide. While its exact causes remain unknown, emerging evidence suggests that infections and inflammation may contribute to disease development in a subset of individuals. This review comprehensively summarizes the evidence linking infections, immune system dysfunction, and schizophrenia risk. Several population-based studies have linked serious prenatal or childhood infections requiring hospitalization to increased risk of later schizophrenia diagnosis, especially in individuals with genetic predisposition. Both central nervous system infections and systemic infections appear to confer risk. Specific pathogens including Toxoplasma gondii, herpesviruses, Chlamydophila, and more have been implicated. Autoimmune diseases are also associated with increased schizophrenia susceptibility, possibly due to blood-brain barrier disruption allowing brain-reactive antibodies access. The recent Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic raises questions about SARS-CoV-2 as a risk factor for new-onset psychosis. The mechanisms underlying the infection-schizophrenia link likely involve inflammation, cytokines, microglial activation, and tryptophan/kynurenine pathway modulation. Treatments targeting inflammation showed some efficacy in schizophrenia, further supporting an inflammation hypothesis. While the epidemiological and mechanistic evidence is substantial, further research is needed to conclusively determine the exact mechanisms linking immune dysfunction to schizophrenia requires further study. The evidence suggests immune system abnormalities likely play a role, perhaps by interacting with genetic and environmental factors, in instigating schizophrenia pathophysiology in a subset of patients. More research is needed to understand these connections more clearly which may aid future prevention and personalized treatment approaches tailored to specific illness subtypes.
精神分裂症是一种严重的精神疾病,影响着全球约 1%的人口。虽然其确切病因尚不清楚,但新出现的证据表明,感染和炎症可能会导致一部分人发病。本综述全面总结了将感染、免疫系统功能紊乱和精神分裂症风险联系在一起的证据。一些基于人群的研究表明,需要住院治疗的产前或儿童期严重感染与日后精神分裂症诊断风险的增加有关,尤其是在有遗传倾向的个体中。中枢神经系统感染和全身感染似乎都会带来风险。特定的病原体包括弓形虫、疱疹病毒、衣原体等。自身免疫性疾病也与精神分裂症易感性的增加有关,这可能是由于血脑屏障的破坏使得大脑反应性抗体得以进入。最近的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行提出了 SARS-CoV-2 作为新发精神病风险因素的问题。感染与精神分裂症的关联机制可能涉及炎症、细胞因子、小胶质细胞活化和色氨酸/犬尿氨酸通路调节。针对炎症的治疗对精神分裂症有一定疗效,这进一步支持了炎症假说。虽然流行病学和机理方面的证据很充分,但要最终确定免疫功能失调与精神分裂症之间的确切联系机制,还需要进一步的研究。有证据表明,免疫系统异常可能与遗传和环境因素相互作用,在部分患者的精神分裂症病理生理学中起着一定的作用。需要开展更多的研究来更清楚地了解这些联系,这可能有助于未来的预防和针对特定疾病亚型的个性化治疗方法。

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) in managing ADHD symptoms compared to placebo, stimulants, or compared as pre- and post-treatment. Clinical trials assessing the potency of SNRIs in treating ADHD patients were imported from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus (until February 2023). Data were extracted by two independent researchers. Random- and fixed- effect meta-analysis was performed to pool the data. Publication bias and study heterogeneity were assessed. The Cochrane Collaboration tool was utilized to determine the risk of bias. The certainty of outcomes was evaluated by the Grade criteria. Of the initial 830 studies, 13 were finally imported after two screening stages which two separate researchers carried out. The pooled standardized mean difference (95% CI) of reducing the score of different ADHD questionnaires (showing reduction in total inattentive and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms) by SNRIs, venlafaxine, and duloxetine were − 2.20 [− 3.00, − 1.40], − 1.86 [− 2.69, − 1.02], − 2.65 [− 3.35, − 1.96], respectively. While the most reported side effects were nausea, abdominal pain, and sedation, all studies reported that side effects were not serious and were well tolerated. Outcomes for the effectiveness of venlafaxine and duloxetine got high and moderate certainty, respectively. Duloxetine and venlafaxine can be administered to treat symptoms of ADHD while being well tolerated. It seems that duloxetine is more potent in reducing ADHD symptoms. It can also be concluded that venlafaxine is more effective in females, and is more effective on inattentive symptoms of ADHD rather than hyperactive symptoms.
本研究旨在评估5-羟色胺-去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂(SNRIs)与安慰剂、兴奋剂相比,或与治疗前后相比,在控制ADHD症状方面的有效性。从 PubMed、Web of Science 和 Scopus(截至 2023 年 2 月)中导入了评估 SNRIs 治疗多动症患者疗效的临床试验。数据由两名独立研究人员提取。对数据进行随机和固定效应荟萃分析。对发表偏倚和研究异质性进行了评估。利用 Cochrane 协作工具确定偏倚风险。结果的确定性按照等级标准进行评估。在最初的 830 项研究中,经过两名研究人员分别进行的两个筛选阶段后,最终输入了 13 项研究。SNRIs、文拉法辛和度洛西汀降低不同ADHD问卷得分(显示注意力不集中和多动/冲动症状总数的减少)的汇总标准化平均差(95% CI)分别为- 2.20 [- 3.00, - 1.40]、- 1.86 [- 2.69, - 1.02]、- 2.65 [- 3.35, - 1.96]。虽然报告最多的副作用是恶心、腹痛和镇静,但所有研究都表明副作用并不严重,而且耐受性良好。文拉法辛和度洛西汀疗效的确定性分别为高和中等。度洛西汀和文拉法辛可用于治疗多动症症状,且耐受性良好。看来度洛西汀在减轻多动症症状方面更有效。还可以得出结论,文拉法辛对女性更有效,对注意力不集中的多动症症状比多动症状更有效。

The Stigma Affiliation Scale (ASS) is an instrument to assess affiliation stigma used widely worldwide. This study aims to adapt the ASS to the Indonesian language and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the ASS among family caregivers of people with schizophrenia in Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted of 94 schizophrenia patients’ family caregivers in communities, i.e., an items analysis, construct validity using the known-group method, and internal consistency reliability. The consistency between items and overall scores using Pearson product-moment correlation shows that all the items had Pearson’s coefficient correlation ≥ 0.300, indicating good and acceptable discriminant power. The construct validity using the Mann–Whitney U test comparing the ASS scores between the primary caregivers and other family members of schizophrenic patients showed higher scores in the primary caregivers than the other family members in the three domains (p < 0.0001), indicating excellent construct validity. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.80–0.89 and above 0.90, which indicate good and excellent reliability, respectively. The Indonesian version of ASS shows good psychometric properties among family caregivers of people with schizophrenia in Indonesia.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a common mental illness that is usually associated with significant morbidity causing critical impairment in socio-occupational functioning and even mortality. Social rhythm therapy (SRT) has been suggested as an adjunctive psychotherapy in BD treatment protocols, with its proposed benefits of accelerating recovery from bipolar episodes, delaying relapses, and upgrading patients’ functioning. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of combining SRT with pharmacological treatment, as compared to pharmacotherapy alone, in a sample of Egyptian BD patients. Sixty eligible bipolar patients were enrolled in this comparative study by convenience sampling and randomly divided into two groups for comparison; group I included 30 BD-I patients treated as usual (TAU) with pharmacological treatment only, while group II included 30 BD patients treated with social rhythm therapy in addition to the traditional psychotropic medications. Manic and depressive symptoms as well as socio-occupational functioning were assessed at baseline and after 3 months of treatment using the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), and Socio-occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (SOFAS). Patients treated with SRT therapy showed significant improvement in their manic and depressive symptoms as well as socio-occupational functioning after 3 months of treatment by 65.76%, 55.87%, and 52.5%, respectively. Linear regression analysis showed that the gender and age of the patient could significantly predict improvement of MDQ% in group II, while none of the studied variables could significantly predict the percentage of change in HDRS or SOFAS. SRT could be a promising adjunctive therapy promoting early recovery of BD patients compared to standalone pharmacological treatment.
躁郁症(BD)是一种常见的精神疾病,通常会导致严重的发病率,严重损害患者的社会职业功能,甚至导致死亡。社交节律疗法(SRT)被认为是躁郁症治疗方案中的一种辅助心理疗法,具有加速躁郁症发作的恢复、延缓复发和提高患者功能的益处。本研究旨在调查在埃及躁郁症患者样本中将 SRT 与药物治疗相结合与单独使用药物治疗相比的效果。这项比较研究通过方便抽样的方式招募了 60 名符合条件的双相情感障碍患者,并将他们随机分为两组进行比较;第一组包括 30 名仅接受药物治疗的双相情感障碍Ⅰ型患者,第二组包括 30 名在接受传统精神药物治疗的同时接受社会节奏疗法治疗的双相情感障碍患者。在基线和治疗 3 个月后,使用情绪障碍问卷(MDQ)、汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HDRS)和社会职业功能评估量表(SOFAS)对躁狂和抑郁症状以及社会职业功能进行评估。接受 SRT 治疗的患者在治疗 3 个月后,躁狂和抑郁症状以及社会职业功能均有明显改善,改善率分别为 65.76%、55.87% 和 52.5%。线性回归分析表明,患者的性别和年龄能显著预测第二组 MDQ% 的改善情况,而所研究的变量均不能显著预测 HDRS 或 SOFAS 的变化百分比。与单独的药物治疗相比,SRT是一种很有前景的辅助疗法,可促进BD患者早日康复。

The prevalence of any disorders listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) is 34.2% in Saudi Arabia over the course of a person's lifetime. Young Saudis are more likely to develop major depressive disorder than older Saudis. Globally, postgraduate students are more vulnerable to developing depression compared to the general population. According to a national study carried out in Saudi Arabia, a small proportion of individuals experiencing psychiatric disorders over a period of 12 months receive any kind of treatment. This highlights the importance of community education aimed at enhancing mental health awareness. A web-based Arabic cross-sectional survey was conducted among Saudi postgraduate students from October 2019 to August 2020. The survey included questions related to sociodemographic characteristics, sources of information, depression literacy (D-Lit), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for depression, and the participants’ attitudes toward depression. A total of 517 participants took part in the survey, with 46% of them screened positive for depression. The mean D-Lit score was 10.65, which was lower than that reported in studies conducted among medical students and hospital staff. No significant differences were found in D-Lit scores across all sociodemographic characteristics, except for gender and specialty (p = 0.002 and <0.001, respectively). The Internet, awareness posters, a doctor (previously diagnosed with depression), and awareness activities related to depression showed significant differences in the mean score of D-Lit (p < 0.001, 0.005, < 0.001, and < 0.001, respectively). In Saudi Arabia, this study found that postgraduate students have a notably higher occurrence of depression compared to the general population. However, despite their higher educational level, these students lacked sufficient awareness and understanding of depression to recognize it and seek help. Consequently, it is important to initiate awareness campaigns aimed at enhancing the mental well-being of postgraduate student
在沙特阿拉伯,《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版(DSM-IV)中所列任何疾病在人的一生中的发病率为 34.2%。年轻的沙特人比年长的沙特人更容易患上重度抑郁症。在全球范围内,与普通人相比,研究生更容易患上抑郁症。根据沙特阿拉伯开展的一项全国性研究,在 12 个月内出现精神障碍的人中,只有一小部分人接受了任何形式的治疗。这凸显了旨在提高心理健康意识的社区教育的重要性。2019 年 10 月至 2020 年 8 月,我们在沙特研究生中开展了一项基于网络的阿拉伯语横断面调查。调查内容包括社会人口学特征、信息来源、抑郁症知识(D-Lit)、抑郁症患者健康问卷-9(PHQ-9)以及参与者对抑郁症的态度等相关问题。共有 517 名参与者参与了调查,其中 46% 的人被筛查出患有抑郁症。D-Lit平均分为10.65分,低于在医学生和医院工作人员中进行的研究。除性别和专业外(P = 0.002 和 <0.001),D-Lit 分值在所有社会人口特征中均无明显差异。互联网、宣传海报、一名医生(曾被诊断患有抑郁症)以及与抑郁症相关的宣传活动在 D-Lit 平均得分上显示出显著差异(p 分别为 <0.001、0.005、<0.001 和 <0.001)。这项研究发现,在沙特阿拉伯,研究生的抑郁症发病率明显高于普通人群。然而,尽管这些学生受教育程度较高,但他们对抑郁症缺乏足够的认识和了解,无法识别抑郁症并寻求帮助。因此,开展旨在提高研究生心理健康水平的宣传活动非常重要。

According to a national study carried out in Saudi Arabia, a small proportion of individuals experiencing psychiatric disorders over a period of 12 months receive any kind of treatment. This highlights the importance of community education aimed at enhancing mental health awareness. A web-based Arabic cross-sectional survey was conducted among Saudi postgraduate students from October 2019 to August 2020. The survey included questions related to sociodemographic characteristics, sources of information, depression literacy (D-Lit), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for depression, and the participants’ attitudes toward depression. A total of 517 participants took part in the survey, with 46% of them screened positive for depression. The mean D-Lit score was 10.65, which was lower than that reported in studies conducted among medical students and hospital staff. No significant differences were found in D-Lit scores across all sociodemographic characteristics, except for gender and specialty (p = 0.002 and <0.001, respectively).

In Saudi Arabia, this study found that postgraduate students have a notably higher occurrence of depression compared to the general population.

Psychiatric comorbidities, and sleep disorders, are prevalent in adults with epilepsy (AWE). Good control of epilepsy can help AWE lead a normal fruitful life and incorporate in daily activities as others. This study aims to assess the frequency, risk factors of depression, and poor sleep quality among patients with epilepsy and examine their relation with epilepsy control. This cross-sectional study was accomplished during the period from January to October 2023 involving 179 AWE. All were exposed to complete history taking: stressing on personal data, evaluation of medication adherence using the modified Morisky scale, sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and depressive symptoms evaluated by the Zagazig Depression Scale. Depression was reported in 22.2% of studied patients; while 44.4% had poorer epilepsy control. Poor sleep quality was reported in 35.2% of epilepsy patients and was associated with non-adherence and poor seizure control. Depression increased the risk of poor control by about 16-folds. Non-adherence was associated with depression and poor sleep quality and was one of the predictors of poor epilepsy control. Depression and poor sleep quality can impair the outcome of PWE and also there is a strong association between depression and poor sleep quality among PWE and both impair seizure control.
成人癫痫患者(AWE)普遍存在精神并发症和睡眠障碍。良好的癫痫控制可以帮助成年癫痫患者过上正常而富有成效的生活,并像其他人一样参与日常活动。本研究旨在评估癫痫患者患抑郁症的频率、风险因素和睡眠质量差的情况,并研究它们与癫痫控制的关系。这项横断面研究是在 2023 年 1 月至 10 月期间完成的,共涉及 179 名亚博app客服生。所有亚博app客服生均接受了完整的病史采集:强调个人数据,使用改良莫里斯基量表评估服药依从性,使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数评估睡眠质量,使用扎加齐格抑郁量表评估抑郁症状。22.2%的研究对象患有抑郁症,44.4%的研究对象癫痫控制较差。据报告,35.2%的癫痫患者睡眠质量不佳,这与不坚持治疗和癫痫发作控制不佳有关。抑郁症使癫痫控制不佳的风险增加了约 16 倍。不坚持治疗与抑郁和睡眠质量差有关,也是癫痫控制不佳的预测因素之一。抑郁和睡眠质量差会影响病患的治疗效果,而且抑郁和睡眠质量差与病患的癫痫发作控制也有密切关系。

This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties and the convergent validity of the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and linear regression adjusted for confounding factors were performed to obtain the adjusted beta value (βadj) for sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), burnout (Copenhagen Burnout Inventory), and depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-9). The study population consisted of 3187 young adult university students. The CFA indicated adequate fits for the one- and two-factor structure of the ASSIST, with better indices for the two-factor model. Convergent validity results confirmed the best fit of the one-factor model (version 3.1), in which individuals classified as “suggestive of dependence” showed a greater effect on worse sleep quality (βadj 2.16, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.48–2.84), burnout (βadj 12.25, 95% CI 8.43–16.06), and depressive symptoms (βadj 6.69, 95% CI 5.37–8.00). The results and the literature review indicated that the one-factor presents an adequate factor structure and better convergent validity.

Gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in the gut-brain axis and can influence neurodevelopment and mental health outcomes. This review summarizes the current evidence on the associations between gut microbiota alterations and various psychiatric illnesses. The composition of the gut microbiome evolves from birth through old age, and disruptions during critical periods may increase disease risk. Factors like diet, medications, stress, and infections can disturb the gut microenvironment and lead to dysbiosis. Dysbiosis has been linked to conditions like depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia. Proposed mechanisms involve microbial regulation of neurotransmitters, inflammation, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier permeability, and the immune system. Therapeutic strategies like probiotics, prebiotics, and faecal transplantation may modulate the gut-brain axis and microbial ecosystem. However, more research is needed to elucidate the causal microbiota-psychiatry relationship. Understanding gut-brain interactions may uncover new possibilities for preventing and managing psychiatric disorders. A growing body of research points to a close relationship between gut microbiota and mental health. While the field is still emerging, dysbiosis of gut microbial ecosystem has been associated with various neuropsychiatric conditions. The underlying mechanisms likely involve the microbiota-gut-brain axis signalling pathways. Additional research with larger samples is required to establish causal links between specific microbial changes and psychiatric outcomes.
肠道微生物群在肠道-大脑轴中发挥着关键作用,可影响神经发育和心理健康结果。本综述总结了肠道微生物群改变与各种精神疾病之间关系的现有证据。肠道微生物群的组成从出生到老年一直在演变,关键时期的紊乱可能会增加患病风险。饮食、药物、压力和感染等因素会扰乱肠道微环境,导致菌群失调。菌群失调与抑郁症、焦虑症、自闭症、多动症和精神分裂症等疾病有关。拟议的机制涉及微生物对神经递质、炎症、氧化应激、血脑屏障通透性和免疫系统的调节。益生菌、益生元和粪便移植等治疗策略可调节肠脑轴和微生物生态系统。然而,还需要更多的研究来阐明微生物群与精神病学之间的因果关系。了解肠道与大脑之间的相互作用可为预防和控制精神疾病提供新的可能性。越来越多的研究表明,肠道微生物群与心理健康之间有着密切的关系。虽然这一领域仍处于新兴阶段,但肠道微生物生态系统的菌群失调已与各种神经精神疾病相关联。其潜在机制可能涉及微生物群-肠道-大脑轴信号通路。要确定特定微生物变化与精神疾病结果之间的因果关系,还需要进行更多的样本研究。

Suicide is a significant public health issue that has long-term impacts on individuals, families, and communities. Perceived social support can reduce the frequency of suicidal ideation (SI), which is an important precursor to later attempted and completed suicide. The present study aimed to measure the prevalence of SI and perceived social support among students at Ain Shams University, compare SI and perceived social support among medical and non-medical students, and identify the factors affecting SI. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 745 students recruited from two medical and two non-medical faculties at Ain Shams University. The data was gathered through a self-administered questionnaire, including socio-demographic characteristics, family relationships, daily habits, the Suicidal Ideation Scale (SIS), and the Oslo Social Support Scale (OSSS-3). The mean age of participants was 20.1 ± 1.4, (58.1%) were females, and (7.2%) were cigarette smokers. SIS was statistically higher among non-medical students (19.89 ± 8.58) versus (16.60 ± 7.56) among medical ones. On the other hand, OSSS-3 was statistically higher among medical students, where (48.9%) of non-medical students reported poor social support versus (43.3%) among medical ones, and only (7.1%) of non-medical students reported strong social support versus (15.1%) among medical ones. The ordinal logistic regression revealed that non-medical education (OR = 1.74), smoking (OR = 2.16), dissatisfaction and neutral satisfaction regarding family relationships (OR = 6.49 and OR = 3.24, respectively), and low and moderate degrees of perceived social support (OR = 3.11 and OR = 1.81, respectively) are significant positive predictors of SI severity. Since SI is a serious issue among Ain Shams University students, screening is required as a secure element of initiatives to prevent youth suicide. As poor perceived social support was a significant predictor of SI severity, teaching parenting strategies to enhance family relationships and coping with stressful situations through lectures and media must be intensified.
自杀是一个重大的公共卫生问题,对个人、家庭和社区都有长期影响。感知到的社会支持可以降低自杀意念(SI)的发生频率,而自杀意念是日后企图自杀和自杀未遂的重要前兆。本研究旨在测量艾因夏姆斯大学(Ain Shams University)学生中自杀意念和感知到的社会支持的发生率,比较医学生和非医学生中自杀意念和感知到的社会支持,并确定影响自杀意念的因素。本研究对艾因夏姆斯大学两个医学系和两个非医学系的 745 名学生进行了横断面研究。数据通过自填式问卷收集,包括社会人口学特征、家庭关系、日常习惯、自杀意念量表(SIS)和奥斯陆社会支持量表(OSSS-3)。参与者的平均年龄为(20.1 ± 1.4)岁,女性(58.1%),吸烟者(7.2%)。据统计,非医科学生的 SIS(19.89 ± 8.58)高于医科学生的(16.60 ± 7.56)。另一方面,据统计,医科学生的 OSSS-3 较高,其中(48.9%)非医科学生表示社会支持较差,而医科学生则为(43.3%);只有(7.1%)非医科学生表示社会支持较强,而医科学生则为(15.1%)。序数逻辑回归显示,非医学教育(OR = 1.74)、吸烟(OR = 2.16)、对家庭关系的不满意和中度满意(OR = 6.49 和 OR = 3.24)以及低度和中度感知社会支持(OR = 3.11 和 OR = 1.81)是 SI 严重程度的显著正向预测因素。由于SI是艾因夏姆斯大学学生中的一个严重问题,因此需要进行筛查,作为预防青少年自杀措施的一个安全要素。由于感知到的社会支持不足是 SI 严重程度的一个重要预测因素,因此必须通过讲座和媒体加强教导亲子策略,以增进家庭关系和应对压力情况。
