“…However, Shneidman [16] stated that the inability to tolerate psychological pain rather than its severity is a more important risk factor for suicide. Shelef et al [17] detected stronger suicidal thoughts in the group with a lower tolerance for pain among soldiers who had similar psychological pain levels. A reverse correlation was also detected between tolerance for mental pain and suicide risk in a healthy population in the validation study of the Greek version of TMPS [18,19].…”

OBJECTIVE: Psychological pain has been accepted as one of the most critical psychological risk factors underlying suicidal ideation and behaviour. Suicide is chosen as a way to get rid of intense, painful and unbearable psychological pain. Since the level of tolerance rather than the intensity of psychological pain was considered to be more predictive for suicide, we aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Tolerance for Mental Pain Scale-10 (TMPS-10). METHODS: A total of 121 patients diagnosed with depression in 62 of them had previous suicide attempts and 105 healthy controls who applied to the outpatient clinics of Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine Psychiatry Department were included in the study. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSIS), Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), Psychache Scale (PS) and TMPS-10 were applied to participants. RESULTS: In the internal consistency analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.96 for enduring the pain, 0.96 for managing the pain, 0.98 for the whole scale, and item-total correlation coefficients were found to be between 0.87 and 0.93. The scale fit well to both the two-factor and single-factor structure in the confirmatory factor analysis. The multi-group confirmatory factor analysis showed that both the depressive patients and the control group interpreted the scale items in the same way. In convergent validity analysis, there was a negative, linear, high and statistically significant relationship between TMPS-10 scores and PS, BSIS, BDI and BHS scores (r = −0.935; −0.779; −0.890; −0.808; p < .0.001, respectively). In discriminant function analysis, TMPS-10 successfully differentiated the depressive group and the control group, as well as the depressive patients who did or did not attempt suicide (96.5%, 88.1%, respectively). CONCLUSION: The Turkish version of TMPS-10 is valid and reliable, and may be useful in research and clinical practices about suicide. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Suicidal motivation can arise from the desire to escape from unbearable psychological pain (DeLisle & Holden, ; Reisch et al, ). Psychological pain can significantly predict suicide ideation and suicide attempts in psychiatric patients (Cáceda et al, 2014; Heeringen, Abbeele, Vervaet, Soenen, & Audenaert, 2010; Li et al, ; Olié, Guillaume, Jaussent, Courtet, & Jollant, ) and nonclinical populations, such as college students (Campos & Holden, ; Troister & Holden, ; Troister, Davis, Lowndes, & Holden, ), homeless people (Coohey, Easton, Kong, & Bockenstedt, ; Patterson & Holden, ), and criminal prisoners (Pereira, Kroner, Holden, & Flamenbaum, ) and soldiers (Shelef, Fruchter, Hassidim, & Zalsman, ). Psychological pain, as measured by the Psychache Scale (PAS), can distinguish individuals with a history of suicide attempt(s) from those without such a history (Pereira et al, ).…”

Objective To identify the predictive ability of the three‐dimensional psychological pain scale (TDPPS) on suicide risk among MDD patients as compared to impulsivity, depression, hopelessness, psychache and acquired capability for suicide, and to determine the cut‐off point of TDPPS in the identification of those at risk for suicide. Method The sample comprised 137 depressed outpatients who were divided into subjects with a history of suicidal attempt (SA, N = 31) and those without such history (NSA, N = 106). All participants completed the questionnaires to evaluate interested variables. Broad sociodemographic and clinical variables were analyzed by using hierarchical and logistic regression analysis and Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis. Results TDPPS, especially pain avoidance subscale displayed superior performance in accurately identifying suicide attempt compared with other measurements. The appropriate cut‐off point was 58 for the TDPPS. Conclusions TDPPS may be an effective screening scale for detecting depressed patients at high suicidal risk.

“…However, as suicidal ideations and attempts have reached epidemic proportions during adolescence, it is crucial to examine the mental pain – suicidality hypothesis at this developmental stage. In fact, the few studies that have examined this hypothesis during adolescence have found that mental pain intensity fails to explain suicidality (Barak‐Iohan & Orbach, ; May, O'Brien, Liu, & Klonsky, ; Orbach & Iohan, , Shelef, Fruchter, Hassidim, & Zalsman, ; Xie et al., ). For example, Shelef et al.…”

“…For example, Shelef et al. () found that regulation of mental pain moderated the association between mental pain and suicide ideations. Specifically, mental pain intensity was associated with higher suicidal ideations only among adolescents who have problems in regulating pain.…”

Emotional Regulation of Mental Pain as Moderator of Suicidal Ideation in Military Settings

Abstract: Emotional regulation of mental pain moderates the link between mental pain and suicide ideation. Soldiers with high mental pain and low regulation of mental pain exhibited higher suicidal ideation. These findings may assist in planning prevention programs in the army and similar settings.
