Relationship of optimism and suicidal ideation in three groups of patients at varying levels of suicide risk

Abstract: Optimism has been associated with reduced suicidal ideation, but there have been few studies in patients at high suicide risk. We analyzed data from three study populations (total N=319) with elevated risk of suicide: (1) patients with a recent acute cardiovascular event, (2) patients hospitalized for heart disease who had depression or an anxiety disorder, and (3) patients psychiatrically hospitalized for suicidal ideation or following a suicide attempt. For each study we analyzed the association between opti… Show more

“…A single suicide item from self-reported depression rating scales has been shown to be related to well-validated measures of suicidal ideation (e.g., Scale for Suicide Ideation) and number of suicide attempts (Desseilles et al, 2012). Furthermore, item 12 from the QIDS has been previously used to assess suicidal ideation (Gao et al, 2015; Huffman et al, 2016; Laje et al, 2007). The group defined as “low suicidal ideation” included participants who reported “I do not think of suicide or death” (QIDS score =0) and “I feel that life is empty or wonder if it's worth living” (QIDS score =1).…”

“…Third, a single item was used for the assessment of suicidal ideation. While this approach has been utilized in prior studies (Desseilles et al, 2012; Gao et al, 2015; Huffman et al, 2016; Laje et al, 2007), future studies would benefit by including validated measures of suicide.…”

“…Optimism is associated with better adjustment to pain ( Ronaldson et al, 2014 ) and less pain sensitivity ( Hanssen, Peters, Vlaeyen, & Meevissen, 2013 ). Furthermore, optimism has been associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease ( Kim, Smith, & Kubzansky, 2014 ), lower mortality ( Boehm & Kubzansky, 2012 ; Kim et al, 2017 , Tindle et al, 2009 ) and with a lower risk of suicidal ideation ( Huffmann et al, 2016 ).…”
