| Objective  To evaluate the distribution of population,psycho social factors associated with suicidal ideation, and relations between some physiological indexes and suicidal ideation of the undergraduates in Shanxi Province.Method  4882 undergraduates from 6 universities in ShanxiProvince were investigated with multistage stratified random cluster sampling. Factors associated with suicidal ideation were analyzed with Logistic Regress and Path Analysis by Adolescent Self-Rate Life Events Check List (ASLEC), DSQ, Social Support Rating Scale, SCL-90, Simple Coping Modes Questionnaire, Suicide Attitude Questionnaire (QSA), EPQ. Some physiological indexes of 112 undergraduates with suicidal ideation and 128 controls were measured by DDX-200, and the serum cholesterol by CHOD-PAP at the same time.Results 13.8% of subjects had suicidal ideation. The male, medical and ordinary college's students were the high-risk population with suicidal ideation. Life events were inducingbut not main factors of suicidal ideation, psychological diseased tendency was the first main factor. Personality affected directly or indirectly suicidal ideation through coping and defense style. Average time, error frequency of simple visual reaction time correlated with suicidal ideation positively, whereas serum cholesterol value and scores of facilitated arm stability experiment negatively.Conclusions  Self-abasement should be taken down , andrecreational action increased in male, medical students. Of the factors related to suicidal ideation, personality was sta-bilized factor, life events were minor but "triggering" agents,psychological diseased tendency was the principal factor. Above three factors were intergraded and resulted in suicidal ideation in chorus. The correlation between suicidal ideation and its physiological indexes such as serum cholesterol value, scores of facilitated arm stability experiment, and average time and error frequency of visual simple reaction time should be further studied. |
