“…Previous studies have shown that the suicide rate in Islamic populations is considerably lower than in Western countries (Colucci et al 2008;Lester 2006). This is explained by the fact that the religion Islam severely prohibits suicide (Zeyrek, Gençöz et al 2009). Additional explanation for the low reporting rate of suicidal behavior in Islamic populations is that individuals who plan to commit suicide know that they will almost certainly be blamed by other people and that if they survive, they will suffer greatly from their own stigma at having attempted suicide.…”

Suicide is an important public health problem for adolescents, and it is essential to increase our knowledge concerning the etiology of suicide among adolescent students. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the associations between hopelessness, depression, spirituality, and suicidal behavior, and to examine spirituality as a moderator between hopelessness, depression, and suicidal behavior among 1376 Malaysian adolescent students. The participants completed measures of depression, hopelessness, daily spiritual experience, and suicidal behavior. Structural equation modeling indicated that adolescent students high in hopelessness and depression, but also high in spirituality, had less suicidal behavior than others. These findings reinforce the importance of spirituality as a protective factor against hopelessness, depression, and suicidal behavior among Malaysian adolescent students.

“…Insecure attachment is associated with suicidal ideation and attempt in mostly cross-sectional studies of adolescent samples. 2–13 Our and others' studies found that insecure attachment in adults was associated with their suicide attempt history, 14 suicidal ideation, 15 and risk of suicide attempt during one-year, prospective follow-up. 16 …”

Objective To investigate relationships of depressed parents' attachment style to offspring suicidal behavior. Method 244 parents diagnosed with a DSM-IV depressive episode completed the Adult Attachment Questionnaire at study entry. Baseline and yearly follow-up interviews of their 488 offspring tracked suicidal behavior and psychopathology. Survival analysis and marginal regression models with correlated errors for siblings investigated the relationship between parent insecure attachment traits and offspring characteristics. Data analyzed were collected 1992–2008 during a longitudinal family study completed January 31, 2014. Results Parent avoidant attachment predicted offspring suicide attempts at a trend level (p=0.083). Parent anxious attachment did not predict offspring attempts (p=0.961). In secondary analyses, anxious attachment in parents was associated with offspring impulsivity (p=0.034), and in offspring suicide attempters, was associated with greater intent (p=0.045) and lethality of attempts (p=0.003). Avoidant attachment in parents was associated with offspring impulsivity (p=0.025) and major depressive disorder (p=0.012). Parent avoidant attachment predicted a greater number of suicide attempts (p=0.048) and greater intent in offspring attempters (p=0.003). Results were comparable after adjusting for parent diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. Conclusion Insecure avoidant, but not anxious, attachment in depressed parents may predict offspring suicide attempt. Insecure parent attachment traits were associated with impulsivity and major depressive disorder in all offspring, and with more severe suicidal behavior in offspring attempters. Insecure parental attachment merits further study as a potential target to reduce risk of offspring psychopathology and more severe suicidal behavior.

“…al., 2011;Adam, Lohrenz, Harper, & Streiner, 1982). When the previous studies in the literature are analyzed, it is seen that individuals who have suicidal behavior have mainly avoidant attachment styles (Blatt &Homann, 1992;Zeyrek et. al., 2009).…”

“…In studies on alignment of suicide attempts and styles, an insecure attachment style is thought as responsible risk factor (Grunebaum et. al., 2010;Mandal & Zalewska, 2011;Zeyrek, Gençöz, Bergman, & Lester 2009). Studies evaluating the relation between attachment and suicide have mainly been carried out with children and adolescents (Baca-Garcia et.…”

It is indicated that there is a high connection between early traumatic experiences and suicidal behaviors. The aim of this study is to compare early traumatic experience and attachment styles of patients in suicide attempts with the healthy control group. The study involved 76 people who had attempted suicide with drugs and 84 healthy controls who did not have any psychiatric disorder. For evaluation we have used; a sociodemographic data form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Childhood Traumas Questionnaire (CTQ-28) and Relationship Scales Questionnaire (RSQ) with those who agreed to participate in the study. Fearful attachment styles from the relation scale survey of those who attempted suicide were significantly higher than the control group (p<0.001). BDI (p<0.001), BAI (p<0.001), emotional abuse (p<0.001), physical abuse (p=0.001), emotional neglect (p<0.001), physical neglect (p<0.001) and sexual abuse (p=0.001) scale scores were statistically higher in suicide attempters than those of the control group. Negative early life experiences and attachment style constitute the main beliefs of a person, and these beliefs may be presented in how he/she builds personal relationships and in interpersonal problems. Early traumatic experiences and attachment styles evolving on this axis have an important role in the formation of psychopathologies.Keywords: Suicide, attachment style, childhood traumas, depression, anxiety Öz İlaç Alarak İntihar Girişiminde Bulunan Hastalar ve Sağlıklı Kişiler Arasında Bağlanma Stilleri ve Çocukluk Çağı Travmatik Deneyimlerin KarşılaştırılmasıErken travmatik deneyimler ile intihar davranışı arasında yüksek bir bağlantı olduğu belirtilmektedir. Bu çalışmada; ilaç alarak intihar girişiminde bulunan kişilerdeki bağlanma stilleri ve erken travmatik yaşantıların sağlıklı kontrollerle karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada; ilaçla intihar girişiminde bulunan 76 kişi ve herhangi bir psikiyatrik bozukluğu olmayan 84 sağlıklı kişi ele alınmıştır. Çalışmayı kabul edenlerde; sosyodemografik veri formu, Beck Depresyon Envanteri (BDE), Beck Anksiyete Envanteri (BAE), Çocukluk Çağı Travmaları Ölçeği (CTQ-28) ve İlişki Ölçekleri Anketi (İÖA) kullanılmıştır. İntihar girişiminde bulunan kişilerde ilişki ölçeği anketine ait korkulu bağlanma stilleri, kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,001). İntihar girişiminde bulunan grupta BDE (p<0,001), BAE (p<0,001), duygusal istismar (p<0,001), fiziksel istismar (p=0,001), duygusal ihmal (p<0,001), fiziksel ihmal (p<0,001) ve cinsel istismar (p=0,001) alt ölçek puanları, sağlıklı kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulunmuştur. Kişinin erken yaşlardaki olumsuz deneyimleri ve bağlanma biçimleri, kişinin belli başlı inanışlarını oluşturur ve bu inanışlar, ilişki kurma biçimi ve kişiler arası problemlerde kendisini gösterebilir. Erken travmatik deneyimler ve bu eksende gelişen bağlanma stilleri, psikopatolojilerin oluşumunda önemli bir yere sahiptir.
