“…However, results obtained in the present study support previous findings on IS and female gender bias (e.g. Gau, Chin-Hung, Charles, Jung-Chen, & Andrew, 2009;Cukrowicz, et al, 2011;Suominen, Isometsa, Ostamo, & Lönnqvist, 2004); among the Colombian population, no significate differences have been reported from the ministry of social protection as it was stated in 2003 (Posada-Villa et al, 2009). These recommendations will allow future development of specify and sensitivity analysis for the measure to determine their appropriate clinical use.…”

The objective was to design the Hopeless and Suicide Ideation Inventory, also know as IDIS -Spanish acronym for Inventario de Desesperanza e Ideación Suicida -and to analyze its psychometric properties. A quantitative empirical research was conducted employing a non-experimental design, an instrumental variable and cross-sectional analysis. Three hundred and thirty-nine people participated in the study (67.6% females, 31.6% males), in which 54.6% were students and 34.8% were employees. Participants completed the IDIS, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory, and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. The results indicated an inter-rater reliability and a positive convergent validity in both scales. Suicidal ideation revealed an internal consistency of α = .76, and α = .81 for hopelessness; a total variance of 41.77% and 47.52% was obtained correspondingly. Based on the Item Response Theory (IRT), the adjustments for INFIT and OUTFIT fell under the expected range. It was concluded that the IDIS is a reliable and valid measure, however, further evaluations on sensitivity and specificity are encouraged. RESUMEN Palabras clave:Suicidio, Ideación suicida, Desesperanza, Psicometría, TCT y TRI.Se diseñó el Inventario de Desesperanza e Ideación Suicida "IDIS" para identificar Ideación Suicida (IS) y Desesperanza (DS). El estudio fue cuantitativo, no experimental instrumental. Participaron 339 personas (67.6% mujeres y 31.6% hombres), entre estudiantes (54.6%) y empleados (34.8%), el 50.4% pertenecía a estrato medio-bajo. Los instrumentos aplicados fueron el IDIS, BDI-II, PANSI y BHS. Los resultados obtenidos indicaron favorable armonía interjueces y validez convergente en ambas escalas. En IS se obtuvo una consistencia interna α = .77 con tres factores que explican el 57.87% de la varianza. En la escala DS se obtuvo un α = .86 con dos factores que explican el 57.32% de la varianza. Desde la TRI los ajustes en INFIT y OUTFIT quedaron en el rango esperado. Se concluye que el IDIS puede ser usado como medida confiable y válida, aunque se sugiere revisiones posteriores con la escala IS y estudios de sensibilidad y especificidad.

“…Each of the SIS items is rated on a 3-point Likert-type scale (0-2) with a total score of 0-30. A Chinese version of the Suicide Intent Scale is a reliable and valid instrument for use in assessing the extent of suicidal intention with acceptable cross-cultural validity and reliability (Gau et al, 2009) among cases.…”

“…Suicide Intent Scale (SIS) has high internal reliability in different cultures (Beck, Schuyler, & Herman, 1974; Conner, Phillips, & Meldrum, 2007; Diaz, Baca-Garcia, Diaz-Sastre et al, 2003; Gau, Chen, Lee et al, 2009; Spirito, Sterling, Donaldson et al, 1996). The first 8 items of SIS are mainly dealing with factual aspects of the attempt and the events surrounding the individual (Beck, Schuyler, & Herman, 1974) which is regarded as a more reliable measure of suicidal intent.…”

To understand psychometric characteristics of Beck Suicide Intent Scale (SIS) and different characteristics of suicides between high and low intent in Chinese culture. Data of 386 suicides and 416 living controls aged 15–34 years were used to analyze psychometric characteristics of SIS with 6 items. SIS with 6 items had high reliability and validity. Different characteristics were found between suicides with high intent and low intent. Hopelessness, depression, impulsivity, and approach coping skill were common factors of suicide with high and low intent. Education years, marriage, social support, and mental disorders were specific factors of suicide with low intent. High intent suicides had different characteristics from low intent suicides. SIS with 6 items is suitable for use in young rural China.
