“…43 Based on the IPTS, the INQ examines levels of suicidal desire where higher scores are associated with higher levels of perceived burdensomeness or thwarted belongingness. 44 In the current study both burdensomeness (α = 0.95) and belongingness (α = 0.94) demonstrated acceptable internal consistency.…”

BRIEF SUMMARYCurrent Knowledge/Study Rationale: Research has shown relations between duration of insomnia symptoms/duration of nightmares and suicide risk in younger adults. However, this relation has not been examined in older adults. Study Impact: The present study found that, in older adults, nightmare duration was related to suicide risk independent of current nightmares, current symptoms of and duration of insomnia, and symptoms of anhedonia and PTSD. Nightmare duration was also related to suicide risk independent of the IPTS. Thus, nightmare duration is an important factor to be assessed when evaluating the level of suicide risk with patients.Objective: Duration of insomnia symptoms and nightmares are related to suicidal risk in young adults independent of current symptoms of insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. However, this relation has yet to be examined among older adults, despite older adults being at higher risk of suicidal behavior. Further, the current study aims to replicate previous research among younger adults showing that insomnia symptoms and nightmares are associated with suicide risk independent of the interpersonal psychological theory of suicide (IPTS). Methods: The present study utilized 167 participants age 55 and older obtained by combining two independent mTurk data collections of adults in the United States. Results: In the current sample, duration of nightmares was associated with suicide risk in older adults independent of symptoms of current insomnia and nightmares, duration of insomnia, and symptoms of PTSD, anhedonia, and the IPTS. Conclusions: Our fi ndings suggest that the duration of nightmares (i.e., how long someone has been experiencing nightmares) predict substantial variance in suicide risk among older adults in addition to the risk factors typically examined. S uicide is a leading cause of death, yet it remains a challenge to predict and prevent. In 2012, suicide was the tenth leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 40,600 deaths.1 Further, 2012 marks the fi rst time in history that U.S. deaths by suicide have exceeded 40,000 in a year.2 Suicide is a particularly large problem for older adults: although older adults only made up about 13.7% of the population in 2012, older adults represented 16.4% of suicides.1 Suicidal intent, which refers to the degree to which one desires to end his/her life by suicidal behavior, 3 is more common in older adults than in the rest of the population, and attempts made by older adults are more likely to be fatal. 4 To illustrate this, there are 100-200 attempts for every one youth suicide and 4 attempts for every one older adult suicide.5 Thus, older adult suicide attempts are much more likely to be fatal than younger adult suicide attempts. Research has identifi ed many risk factors for older adult suicide including the loss of independence, social isolation, mental illness, and decline in physical health. 4,[6][7][8] However, despite having identifi ed these risk factors, clinicians are still very po...

“…With respect to perceived burdensomeness, the relationship has been found in a variety of samples, including undergraduates, individuals who attempted or died by suicide, methadone outpatients, and psychotherapy outpatients (Van Orden, Witte, Gordon, Bender, & Joiner, 2008a;Van Orden, Lynam, Hollar, & Joiner, 2006;Conner, Britton, Sworts, & Joiner, 2007;Joiner et al, 2002). Evidence for the positive association between the desire for suicide and thwarted belongingness has also been found in a diverse range of samples, including undergraduates, adults who attempted or died by suicide, and methadone outpatients (Van Orden et al, 2008a;Van Orden et al, 2007;Conner et al, 2007;Van Orden, Witte, James, et al, 2008b;Joiner et al, 2002). Further support can be taken from indirect evidence.…”

The interpersonal‐psychological theory of suicidal behavior: current status and future directions

The interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behavior (Joiner, 2005) holds that an individual will die by suicide if he or she has both the desire for suicide and capability to act on that desire. According to the theory, suicidal desire results from the convergence of two interpersonal states: perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. However, desire alone is not sufficient to result in death by suicide--a third component must be present: the acquired capability for suicide, which develops from repeated exposure and habituation to painful and provocative events. The purpose of this article is to discuss four viable and timely directions for future research, given the current status of the theory.
