Suicide attempts versus suicidal ideation in bulimic female adolescents

Abstract

Adverse family experiences and multiple sociopsychopathological factors may increase the risk of suicide in female bulimic adolescents.

Moderating Factors in the Path from Physical Abuse to Attempted Suicide in Adolescents: Application of the Interpersonal‐Psychological Theory of Suicide

“…This is expected even in the presence of perceived burdensomeness, hopelessness, low fear of death, and high pain tolerance, such as may be experienced by youth who have been abused (Van Orden et al., ). This pathway is consistent with research indicating loneliness is a strong predictor of suicide attempt in adolescents (Nickel et al., ). Conversely, youth with high family connectedness have significantly reduced suicide attempts, even in the presence of other risks (Borowski, Ireland, & Resnick, ).…”

“…Childhood physical abuse is a well‐established risk factor for suicidal behavior (Beautrais, ; Brent, Baugher, Bridge, Chen, & Chiappetta, ; Glowinski et al., ; Nickel et al., ; Roy, ). In the context of the IPTS, childhood physical abuse is one of the most concerning risk factors as it can be associated with all of the risk factors posited by the model (Joiner et al., ).…”

Personal Technology Use and Thwarted Belongingness Among Suicidal Active‐Duty Military Personnel

“…The literature reports that social isolation is one of the strongest and most reliable predictors of suicide ideation, attempts, and death by suicide as demonstrated by numerous empirical studies (Berkman, Glass, Brissette, & Seeman, ; Conwell, ; Dervic, Brent, & Oquendo, ; Joiner & Van Orden, ; Trout, ). Increased suicide ideation has been linked to social isolation (Appleby, Cooper, Amos, & Faragher, ; Brent et al., ; Cantor & Slater, ; Fazel, Cartwright, Norman‐Nott, & Hawton, ; Miller, ) and related constructs, such as living alone (Gove & Hughes, ; Heikkinen, Aro, & Lönnqvist, ; Murphy, Wetzel, Robins, & McEvoy, ), loneliness (Koivumaa‐Honkanen et al., ; Rubenowitz, Waern, Wilhelmson, & Allebeck, ), and low social support (Beautrais, ; Duberstein et al., ; Murphy et al., ), as well as not belonging (Conner, Britton, Sworts, & Joiner, ; Dervic et al., ; Nickel et al., ; Van Orden et al., ). Thwarted belongingness has shown a strong association to suicide ideation (Conner et al., ), and the current study also supports this and the conceptual link between thwarted belongingness, “hopelessness,” and a “desire for death” (Baumeister & Leary, ; Berkman et al., ; Joiner et al., ; Van Orden et al., ).…”

Comparing subgroups of suicidal homeless adolescents: Multiple attempters, single attempters and ideators

“…To understand more clearly the suicidal spectrum and to prevent progression to later stages, researchers have compared subgroups of suicidal adolescents, especially attempters and ideators. In studies of clinical and community youths, attempters generally experience more social, psychological and psychiatric problems than do ideators (Nickel et al, 2006;Wu et al, 2004). Attempters and ideators also report more difficulties than do non-suicidal youths (Wu et al, 2004).…”
