“…According to ecological systems theory 17 , reduced social support and self-esteem further strengthen the association of loneliness with suicide risk and depression. In other studies, both decreased social support 18 – 21 and self-esteem 22 have strengthened the association of loneliness with suicide and depression in older adults. However, no study has examined the moderating effects of global self-esteem and perceived support from families and friends on the association between loneliness and suicide risk among individuals with schizophrenia.…”

Loneliness is prevalent among individuals with mental illnesses. This cross-sectional survey study examined the moderating effects of self-esteem and perceived support from families and friends on the association of loneliness with suicide risk and depression in individuals with schizophrenia. In total, 300 participants (267 with schizophrenia and 33 with schizoaffective disorder) completed the University of California, Los Angeles, Loneliness Scale (Version 3); suicide module of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview; Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale; Family and Friend Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve Index; and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Moderation analysis was performed to examine the moderating effects of self-esteem and perceived support from families and friends on the association of loneliness with suicide risk and depression. The results found that self-esteem was significantly associated with a reduced magnitude of depression in participants with loneliness. In addition, perceived support from friends was significantly associated with a reduced magnitude of suicide risk in participants with loneliness. Our findings indicate the importance of intervention programs that strengthen support from friends and self-esteem in reducing suicide risk and depression among lonely individuals with schizophrenia.

Suicide in older adults is rising, particularly when compared to the youths who seldom have such a strong desire for death or have attempted suicide through lethal methods (Chiu et al., 2012;Karbeyaz et al., 2017). Suicide among older adults has attracted increasing global attention, intensifying the concern over suicide prevention in the aged population.Along with the ageing of population and the enduring impact of the one-child policy in China, more domiciliary older adults have been left unattended due to the increase in the number of youths migrating to the cities for better living. Unattended older adults with multiple deteriorating long-term conditions are increasing, and they suffer more than those who have their family around. A large number of older adults have had to move to nursing homes for immediate daily care due to the lack of family support (Qu et al., 2012). This

AimExamine the levels of variables and explore drivers associated with shared decision‐making attitudes among newly graduated nurses.DesignThis was a descriptive and cross‐sectional study.MethodsFrom August 2022 to October 2022, a cross‐section of 216 newly graduated nurses from four comprehensive A‐level hospitals in northern China was recruited using convenience sampling. Newly graduated nurses are generally defined as nurses with a service period of six months to one year. Data were collected using an online questionnaire support platform, including the Nursing Shared Decision‐Making Attitude scale, Jefferson scale of Empathy‐Health profession students and the Health Sciences Evidence‐Based Practice questionnaire. All data were analysed descriptively, and correlational analysis and hierarchical regression were used to make identical connections between variables.ResultsNewly graduated nurses supported shared decision‐making. Perceptions of shared decision‐making were correlated with the experiences of empathy and evidence‐based practice. Additionally, perspective‐taking of empathy and beliefs, and the ability to search for and apply existing scientific findings of evidence‐based practice had a significant impact on more positive attitudes.ConclusionThe survey showed that acceptance of shared decision‐making was positive among newly graduated nurses. Clinical nursing managers and teachers should pay attention to cultivating the evidence‐based practice and empathy of newly graduated nurses to adopt an optimistic attitude towards shared decision‐making in the long term.ImpactThe survey addresses attitudes of shared decision‐making among newly graduated nurses and determines whether empathy and evidence‐based practice has an impact on it. The main finding is that newly graduated nurses have an optimistic outlook on the implementation of shared decision‐making. This survey showed that empathy and evidence‐based practice competencies are associated with shared decision‐making attitudes among newly graduated nurses. The results of this survey have an impact on educational institutions and hospitals in the form of recommendations. Several training programmes on empathy and evidence‐based practice can help adopt the shared decision‐making attitudes of newly graduated nurses.Patient or public contributionNo patient or public contribution.
