“…Stress is a strong predictor of suicide (Dixon et al, 1992;Yang and Clum, 1994;Wang et al, 2007). Suicidal behavior can be caused by the interaction between various factors (Wilcox et al, 2010), one (particularly well-documented empirically over the past 40 years) being stressed (Joiner, 2005;Wenzel and Beck, 2008;Hawton et al, 2012;Stewart et al, 2019;Howarth et al, 2020).…”

Stress has been shown to enhance elderly suicidal ideation. However, the effect of mindfulness and meaning in life on the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation in Korean baby boomers are still unknown. This study investigated (a) a significant correlation between the stress, suicidal ideation, mindfulness, and meaning in life, (b) the mediating effect of mindfulness in the association between stress and suicidal ideation, and (c) the serial mediating effect of mindfulness and then meaning in life on the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation. Data were collected from 200 baby boomers (born between 1955–1963) concerning their stress, mindfulness, meaning in life, and suicidal ideation. These findings suggest that if interventions directed at baby boomers can successfully improve their mindfulness and by extension raise their meaning in life, suicidal ideation will decrease within their population.

“…The perception of avoidant coping as a maladaptive one its contribution in suicidal ideation is still inconclusive. Ample studies suggest that avoidant coping is often perceived as a refuge from the problem situation, hence those individuals are liable to quit or withdraw efforts to reduce stressors (Blankstein et al, 2007;Woodhead et al, 2014); whereas others suggest avoidant coping as a temporary shift of focus to other important facets which may reduce the occurrence of suicidal thoughts (Wang et al, 2007;Miotto and Preti, 2008). On the other hand, perceived social support, which has been classically considered an adaptive and healthy coping process, has been found to negatively associate with avoidant coping and positively associate with adaptive coping strategies among college students (Calvete and Connor-Smith, 2007).…”

IntroductionRecent research has uncovered a wide prevalence variation of suicidal ideation in university students ranging from 9.7% to 58.3%. India has witnessed a 4.5% increase in suicide rates in the year 2021. The interplay between cognitive reappraisal of a stressful situation, suppression of emotional expression, and coping strategies for suicidal ideation of Indian University students is yet to be explored. We aim to determine whether suicidal ideation would differ across different types of family units, and to predict the extent to which perceived social support and avoidant coping could mediate the relation between emotion regulation processes and suicidal ideation.MethodsTwo hundred randomly selected University students (Mean age = 19.9, SD = 1.43) participated. Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson's product-moment correlation, and GLM mediation model were computed.Results and discussionLifetime suicidal ideation significantly differed between those who stay alone and those who live in a nuclear family (p < 0.01), and also those who stay in a joint family (p < 0.05). Cognitive reappraisal predicted a reduction in suicidal ideation mediated by perceived social support (B = −0.06, p < 0.05) and avoidant coping (B = −0.07, p < 0.05). Whereas, expressive suppression predicted induced levels of suicidal ideation through perceived social support (B = 0.05, p < 0.05), and avoidant coping (B = 0.06, p < 0.05) as mediators.ConclusionThough our sample size restricts the generalization, our findings implied the importance of regular psychological consultation regarding the efficacy of the said coping processes in dealing with suicidal ideation.
