Abstract (880 Views)
Aims: Nursing students frequently encounter significant occupational and academic stressors, increasing their susceptibility to suicidal ideation. This study investigated the prevalence and associated factors of suicidal ideation among nursing students in Ardabil, Iran, a region facing socioeconomic challenges.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted among 256 nursing students at Ardabil University of Medical Sciences between November and December 2024. Data were collected using the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Independent t-tests and analysis of variance were employed to analyze associations.
Findings: The prevalence of low-risk suicidal ideation was 84.8%, high-risk suicidal ideation was 12.1%, and very high-risk suicidal ideation was 3.1%. Mean suicidal ideation scores were significantly higher among females (p=0.007), single students (p=0.03), those with a history of mental illness (p=0.03), and psychiatric medication users (p<0.0001). Academic year, grade point average, and residential status were not significantly associated with suicidal ideation.
Conclusion: Nursing students in Ardabil exhibit a high prevalence of suicidal ideation, with gender, marital status, mental health history, and psychiatric medication use identified as significant predictors.
