“…Medical practitioners and mental health workers could devise more multilevel approaches to suicide intervention and address discrete risk and protective factors at both individual and interpersonal as well as wider community and societal levels and fluctuations in how they are manifested overtime (Cramer and Kapusta, 2017;Karthick and Barwa, 2017).…”

“…Given the overlap between the models, Figure 2 groups each of the individual theories into biological-cognitive, psychological, social or developmental models and presents the number of risk factors addressed by each domain. The authors deemed it appropriate to group the theories in accordance with these categories as they have been used to organise theories of suicide in past reviews and draw attention to the need for a multi-level and holistic approach to conceptualising suicide etiology (Karthick and Barwa, 2017;Gunn and Lester, 2015). The figure illustrates how, despite a predominantly biomedical and psychological approach to suicide which focuses on internal experiences, the risk factors covered by each of these models transcend the individual and involve the nested roles of larger-scale societal influences.…”

“…The authors integrated the life-course approach within a biopsychosocial framework to explain how early-life parental death can result in multiple secondary stressors, moderated by familial vulnerabilities and other early life stressors which subsequently affect behavioural health. Given the overlap between theories presented in this review and the common understanding that no single theory or framework adequately explains all outcomes of suicide (Karthick and Barwa, 2017), it was proposed that for future studies, an integrated biopsychosocial model could be developed to address the diverse range of risk factors and ensure it is specific to parental bereavement.…”

“…While the association between parental death and subsequent suicidal behaviours has been demonstrated by several existing reviews (Andriessen et al, 2016;Geulayov et al, 2012;Hung and Rabin, 2009;Kristensen et al, 2012;Kuramoto et al, 2009;Pitman et al, 2014) few studies have applied established theoretical models or frameworks to conceptualise the underlying mechanisms of suicidal behaviour following parental bereavement. Given the consensus that suicide is not an isolated act but results from a range of risk factors, it is necessary to organise the established research into coherent overarching theories or frameworks to better understand how these variables interact to explain suicidal behaviours (Barzilay and Apter, 2014;Karthick and Barwa, 2017). Such theoretical approaches can also guide researchers, practitioners and policy makers towards the implementation of effective interventions and educational practices.…”

Background: Exposure to parental death in childhood has been strongly associated with offspring suicide although few studies have applied theoretical models to conceptualise this relationship. Methods: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses -Scoping Reviews guidelines, we conducted a scoping review of primary studies that identified a theory/framework explaining the aetiology of suicidal behaviour in adulthood, following childhood exposure to external-cause parental death, including suicide. Results: The search yielded 1598 articles. Following full-text screening, 23 studies were identified as meeting inclusion criteria. Data extraction was then completed and found that the studies collectively referenced nine theories. The specific theories identified covered a range of biopsychosocial frameworks and included attachment theory, familial transmission of suicide, conservation of resources framework, diathesis-stress model, social integration theory, socio-ecological model, social learning theory, critical period hypothesis or life course approach and the developmental model of antisocial behaviour. Limitations: It was beyond the scope of this review to conduct rigorous testing and evaluation of the theories identified. Future research could extend on this study by developing criteria to assess the range of theories and frameworks on suicide exposure, as well as the studies providing evidence for these theories, in order to guide more advanced theory development as well as policies, programs and interventions. Conclusions: Based on these theories, the authors proposed that using an integrated biopsychosocial model will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the diverse risk and protective factors for suicidal behaviour following parental death.

Suicide is a worldwide phenomenon and is a major problem in social and health care. For many decades, there has been a growing interest in developing suicide prevention strategies. Suicide is recognized as a serious, worldwide public health concern and has been proven to be the tenth leading cause of death worldwide. The approximate international burden of suicide is one million deaths a year and public awareness is needed to effectively prevent suicide. Suicide rates varyby region and country, and the risk of suicide varies according to gender, age, employment status and quality of physical and mental health. A considerable number of substantial studies have been conducted to investigate risk factors that predict suicidal ideation and behavior. In particular, studies have shown that demographic factors such as gender and age have been found to be essential risk factors associated with suicide. Numerous studies have also investigated the association between chronic medical disease and Greek financial crisis with the existence and increased risk of suicidal behavior. The cross-sectional study had the following objectives: 1) To evaluate mental stress, suicide beahavior, patients' illness perception, sence of coherence, resilienceand religiousness of patients with chronic medical diseases. The prospective study had the following objectives: 1) to assess the course of mental stress and quality of life of patients with chronic medical diseases during a semester 2) to identify the factors associated with suicide behavior in the overall sample but also separately in patients and in the control group 3) to identify factors for improving suicide beahior in patients and in the control group 4) to identify factors affecting the relationship of suicide behavior with perceived influence of financial crisis. In the cross-sectional study participated 821 subjects, 629 of whom were in the group of patients with chronic medical diseases and 129 in the control group. In the prospective study, 464 patients with chronic medical diseases and 110 healthy subjects participated in the first phase of the study, participated in the second assessment 6 months later. The data were collected through semi-structured psychiatric interview, as well as by completing questionnaires. The findings of the 150 study showed a high prevalence of major depressive disorder, suicidal ideation and behavior and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in patients with chronic medical diseases visiting the University Hospital of Ioannina during the Greek financial crisis. At the same time, a significant proportion of the healthy sample had depressive symptoms, however smaller than the patient sample. In addition, the results ofcurrent research verify the association between chronic physical illness and comorbidity with major depressive disorder and suicidal behavior. In addition, analyses occurred six months after baseline found that all outcomes (ie, severity of depressive symptom, risk of suicide, quality of life relatedto health) were significantly improved. The results of the prospective study on factors related to suicidality during follow-up showed that psychiatric history was significantly associated with suicidality in the overall sample of patients and healthy subjects (control group) participated in the study. Specifically, the high RASS Suicide Score and the diagnosis of depression (PHQ> 10) at baseline seem to be positively correlated with suicide scores on the follow up. On the contrary, depression improvement is negatively related to suicide on follow up assessment. Regarding theimprovement of suicide in the patient sample, three variables were found statistically significant: RASS suicidality and PHQ-9 depression diagnosis at baseline, and improvement in depression measured with the PHQ-9 scale during 6 months. These variables are same with the variables identified as important for predicting suicidality in the second measurement after a 6-month follow-up throughout the study sample. In the healthy population sample, age, diagnosis of depression (PHQ>10), and lower RASS scores were found to be negatively correlated with improved suicidality. Finally, the most important new finding is that the impact of the current financial crisis is linked to the risk of suicide, but this correlation is moderated by the presence of a psychiatric disorder: the greater the impact of the crisis, the greater the risk of suicide only when a psychiatric disorder or generalized anxiety disorder is diagnosed. In this light, as the rates of depression, anxiety disorder, and suicide in patients with chronic medical diseases were significant in the present study,clinicians should be aware that referral for psychiatric intervention is important in patients with chronic medical diseases.
