Abstract
Relatively little is known about the role of protective factors in an Arab population in the presence of suicidal risk factors. To examine the role of protective factors in a subsample of in large Arab Kindred participants in the presence of suicidal risk factors. We assessed protective and risk factors in a sample of 64 participants (16 suicidal and 48 nonsuicidal) between 15 and 55 years of age, using a comprehensive structured psychiatric interview, the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), self-reported depression, anxiety, hopelessness, impulsivity, hostility, and suicidal behavior in first-degree and second-relatives. We also used the Religiosity Questionnaire and suicide attitude (SUIATT) and multidimensional perceived support scale. Suicidal as opposed to nonsuicidal participants were more likely to have a lifetime history of major depressive disorder (MDD) (68.8% vs. 22.9% χ2=11.17, p=.001), an anxiety disorder (87.5% vs. 22.9, χ2=21.02, p<.001), or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (25% vs. 0.0%, Fisher's, p=.003). Individuals who are otherwise at high risk for suicidality have a much lower risk when they experience higher perceived social support (3.31±1.36 vs. 4.96±1.40, t=4.10, df=62, p<.001), and...Continue Reading
