“…Misra and Castillo (2004) found that academic stressors (stress as stimulation) were the high amount of homework and pressures of highstakes examinations whereas reactions to these stressors were physiological (e.g., ulcers), emotional (e.g., test anxiety), behavioral (e.g., school absences), and cognitive (e.g., helplessness) symptoms. Also, research shows there is a close correlation between academic problems and suicidal ideation or behaviors (Juon et al 1994;Rubenstein et al 1998). Lee and Larson (2000) found that depression among Korean students is highly related to the demands of schoolwork, examinations, and educational achievement.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the factorial validity of the MBI-SS in Korean students. Specifically, we investigated whether the original three-factor structure of the MBI-SS was appropriate for use with Korean students. In addition, by running multi-group structural equation model analyses with factorial invariance tests simultaneously for both genders (i.e., males and females) and academic settings (i.e., middle school and high school), we tested whether the factor loading and correlations between factors can be similarly interpreted across the different groups. Results indicated that the MBI-SS is a valid instrument to measure academic burnout of Korean students. Furthermore, results presented the possibility that the MBI-SS could be used regardless of cultural background. Implications for future research and practice and limitations are discussed.

“…Much of this research has been dedicated to the role of psychiatric disorders, prior suicide attempts, and familial psychiatric history (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). In addition, most of the research has focused on older adolescents, likely because the suicide rate increases dramatically after age 15 years (1,2,5,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). However, younger adolescents do attempt and complete suicide.…”

“…Some authors have found a positive association between adolescent suicidal behaviours and family relationship difficulties in clinical and community samples of adolescents aged 14 to 18 years (6,7,11,(13)(14)(15)18,(21)(22)(23). Further, some authors have found that family connectedness and cohesiveness were protective against suicidal behaviours in adolescent community samples (2,4,10,12,17,24,25).…”

The Associations between Peer and Parental Relationships and Suicidal Behaviours in Early Adolescents

et al. 2006

Objective: To investigate associations between suicidal behaviours, including suicidal ideation and attempts, and poor peer and parental relationships in a nationally representative sample of Canadian adolescents aged 12 to 13 years. Methods:We used Statistics Canada's National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth as the dataset. This cross-sectional sample included 1049 girls and 1041 boys aged 12 to 13 years. We obtained answers to self-report questionnaires that included measures of peer relationships, parental nurturance, and parental rejection, as well as information regarding suicidal ideation and attempts. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were used for the analysis. We included depression in the multiple logistic regression analysis. Analyses were run separately for boys and girls. Results:The unadjusted logistic regression models found that, among early adolescent boys and girls, depression, poor peer relationships, decreased parental nurturance, and increased parental rejection were all significantly associated with suicidal ideation and attempts. However, after adjusting for all other variables in the multiple logistic regression models, poor peer relationships were no longer significantly associated with suicidal ideation among early adolescent boys and were only weakly associated among early adolescent girls. Conclusions:Poor parental relationships and depression were more powerfully associated with suicidal ideation and attempts than were peer relationships in a nationally representative sample of boys and girls aged 12 to 13 years, and these factors may be important early intervention targets. (Can J Psychiatry 2006;51:698-703) Information on funding and support and author affiliations appears at the end of the article. Clinical Implications· It is important to target early interventions toward identifying and treating depression in early adolescents. · For early adolescents, parental relationships may also be an important treatment target to prevent suicidal behaviours. · Differences between early adolescent boys and girls require further research to determine whether they translate into differing interventions. Limitations· Data were collected entirely by self-report. · The cross-sectional study design limits any interpretation in regard to possible causality among any of the variables examined. · Demographic information, such as socioeconomic status and ethnicity, was not controlled.
