“…Research looking at self-esteem as a potential protective factor found that self-esteem buffered against suicidal ideation among students with depressive symptoms but did not do so for those with eating disorder symptoms (Brausch & Decker, 2014). Similarly, self-esteem did not moderate the link between anxiety symptoms and either suicidal ideation or attempts (Yen et al, 2014), and self-image did not buffer the relationship between adopted child status and suicide attempts (Slap, Goodman, & Huang, 2001). Studies focused on self-acceptance as a protective factor also found null results suggesting that this factor does not buffer against suicidal ideation in the presence of depressive symptoms (Lee, 2011) or against suicidal ideation and attempts in the presence of peer victimization in a sample of lesbian, gay, and bisexual teens (Hershberger & D’Augelli, 1995).…”

“…The prevalence of anxiety symptoms among female manufacturing workers of this study may not be seriously high. However, because two recent studies have suggested that the presence of anxiety symptoms is significantly related to the prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts [ 29 , 30 ]. With suicide being the highest cause of death among Korean women aged between 10 and 39 years old [ 31 ], anxiety symptoms potentially can be important health problem among Korean female workers, especially 10–39 years old.…”

BackgroundThe prevalence of anxiety disorders has been increasing in South Korea, with recent studies reporting anxiety disorders as the most common mental disorder among all South Korean females. Anxiety disorders, which are independent risk factors of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, are significantly correlated with productivity loss, high medical costs, impaired work performance, and frequent worker absence, and thus are potentially serious problems affecting the health of South Korean female workers. In previous studies, anxiety disorders were shown to have a significant correlation with occupational stress. This study seeks to examine the prevalence of anxiety symptoms as well as the relationship between occupational stress and anxiety symptoms among South Korean female manufacturing workers.MethodsA structured self-reported questionnaire was administered to 1,141 female workers at an electrical appliance manufacturing plant. The questionnaire collected data on general characteristics, health behaviors, sleep quality, job characteristics (shift work, shift work schedule, and job tenure), occupational stress, and anxiety symptoms. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, occupational stress with the Korean Occupational Stress Scale-Short Form (KOSS-SF), and anxiety symptoms with the Korean version of the Beck Anxiety Inventory. A chi square test was conducted to determine the distribution differences in anxiety symptoms based on general characteristics, health behaviors, job characteristics, and sleep quality. A linear-by-linear association test was used to determine the distribution differences between anxietysymptoms and the levels of occupational stress. Last, logistic regression analysis was used in order to determine the association between occupational stress and anxiety symptoms.ResultsThe prevalence of anxiety symptoms was 15.2 %. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis that adjusted for sleep quality and general characteristics, a significantassociation was found for those with anxiety disorders; the odds ratios (OR) were significantly higher the greater the total KOSS-SF score (moderate-risk group OR=2.85, 95 % CI=1.79–4.56; high-risk group OR=5.34, 95 % CI=3.59–7.96). In addition, excluding insufficient job control, all other KOSS-SF subscales were significantly associated with anxiety symptoms, and a relatively high OR was seen in the high-risk group for job demand (OR=3.19, 95 % CI=2.27–4.49), job insecurity (OR=4.52, 95 % CI=2.86–7.13), and occupational culture (OR=4.52, 95 % CI=2.90–7.04).ConclusionThere was a significant association between anxiety symptoms and occupational stress stemming from the psychosocial work environment among these South Korean female manufacturing workers. Future longitudinal studies are needed to examine the association between the occupational stress caused by the psychosocial work environment and the incidence of anxiety disorders and anxiety symptoms. Furthermore, intervention programs that aim to address the prevalence...

“…Major risk factors for suicide can be classified as economic , environmental [e.g., air pollution , second‐hand smoke , or earthquakes ], and individual [e.g., alcohol consumption , drug use , common mental disorders , history of self‐harm , parental psychopathology , or parental separation/divorce in childhood ]. In particular, prior suicide attempt is the single most important risk factor for suicides in the general population .…”

The association of religiosity with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in the United Kingdom.Objective: The goal was to analyze the association of religiosity with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in a UK nationally representative sample.Methods: This study used cross-sectional data from 7403 people who participated in the 2007 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS). Religion was assessed with the question 'Do you have a specific religion?' with 'yes' and 'no' answer options. Lifetime and past 12month suicidal ideation and suicide attempts were assessed. The association between religiosity and suicidality was studied in multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic, behavioural, and psychopathological factors. Results: Compared to those without a religion, the prevalence of past 12-month suicidal ideation (3.2% vs. 5.4%), past 12-month suicide attempts (0.4% vs. 0.9%), lifetime suicidal ideation (11.2% vs. 16.4%), and lifetime suicide attempts (3.6% vs. 6.0%) was lower among those with a religion. In the fully adjusted model, having a religion was significantly associated with lower odds for all types of suicidality except past 12-month suicide attempts: suicidal ideation (past 12month: OR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.51-0.99; lifetime: OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.69-0.99) and suicide attempts (past 12-month: OR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.35-1.45; lifetime: OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.53-0.90). Conclusion: There is a negative association between religiosity and suicidality in the UK. Future studies should focus on the underlying mechanisms. Significant outcomes• The prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts was lower in religious people than in non-religious people in the UK.• There was a significant and negative relationship of religiosity with suicidal ideation (past 12-month and lifetime) and suicide attempts (lifetime) after adjustment for sociodemographic, behavioural, and psychopathological factors.• Future studies are needed to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in this association. Limitations• More detailed series of questions on religiosity would have allowed for a better estimation of the religiosity-suicidality relationship.• Suicidality was assessed with self-reports. As suicide is associated with stigma, participants might have responded in a socially desirable manner, potentially leading to an underestimation of the associations.• The design of this study was cross-sectional, and it was thus not possible to determine causality or temporality in the association between religiosity and suicidal ideation or suicide attempt.
