Abstract Objective: To extend evidence on the short-term variability of passive and active suicidal ideation (SI) association with suggested proximal risk factors such as interpersonal variables (perceived burdensomeness [PB], thwarted belongingness [TB], hopelessness, depression) in real-time. Methods: This is an observational study using a prospective design applying ecological momentary assessments (EMA). Eligible for inclusion were inpatients unipolar depression, current or lifetime...
Suicidal ideation is a major risk factor for suicidal behavior and has recently been shown to be fluctuating in studies applying ecological momentary assessments (EMAs). The aims of this study are introduce reliable valid item set assessing relevant proximal factors that can used future EMA within suicidology. Additionally, we provide data on the ability items capture moment-to-moment variability discuss feasibility aspects clinical sample. Psychiatric inpatients diagnosed with depressive...
Abstract. Background: Although the fluctuating nature of suicidal ideation (SI) has been described previously, longitudinal studies investigating dynamics SI are scarce. Aim: To demonstrate fluctuation across 6 days and up to 60 measurement points using smartphone-based ecological momentary assessments (EMA). Method: Twenty inpatients with unipolar depression current and/or lifetime rated their 10 times per day over a 6-day period. Mean squared successive difference (MSSD) was calculated as...
Abstract: Background: Passive and active suicidal ideation (SI) have been shown to be co-occurring but are distinguishable constructs with presumably differential sets of predictors. Aims: The present analysis integrates nomothetic idiographic analyses unravel the relations between passive SI momentary affective states in real-time data tap several knowledge gaps. Methods: 54 psychiatric inpatients rated their current positive as well negative affect for six consecutive days (10 random...
•EMA data were analyzed using network analysis (e.g., temporal networks).•Suicidal ideation at t was predicted by itself and perceived burdensomeness - 1.•Suicidal 1 burdensomeness, depression etc. t.•At the same beep, suicidal related to all variables in network.•Patients with higher average had hopelessness.
The study examines the temporal stability of capability for suicide (i.e., its state-like component), because it has been recently discussed that may be subject to shift over time.Seventy-four psychiatric inpatients with an unipolar depressive disorder were included in (mean age 37.9 years, 71.6% female, 32.4% a history attempt). After baseline assessment several self-report questionnaires, ecological momentary assessments applied six consecutive days using smartphones. Capability was rated...
Individualized, outreach and structured multicomponent interventions are a promising intervention approach to relieve the burden of informal caregivers people with dementia. In this study, we adapted evaluated (Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Caregiver Health II, REACH II), which was developed in USA, German health-care system. Therefore project is called adaptation II (in German: Deutsche Adaptation der DE-REACH).The effectiveness DE-REACH examined randomized, controlled trial on 92 The...
Zusammenfassung Einleitung Zur ökonomischen Erfassung suizidaler Erlebens- und Verhaltensweisen findet der Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire – Revised (SBQ-R) von Osman Kollegen breiten Einsatz. Dieser Fragebogen umfasst 4 Items, die verschiedene Facetten Suizidalität erfassen weist einige Einschränkungen auf. So sind Items nicht gleich skaliert haben z. T. einen unterschiedlichen zeitlichen Bezug. Einige Antwortalternativen zu Item 1 3 mit dem gleichen Score belegt es wird somit keine klare...
Although the relationship of trait impulsivity and suicidal behavior is well established, its with ideation fluctuation still remains unclear. Our aim to examine (1) in context Interpersonal Psychological Theory Suicide (IPTS) (2) association an inpatient sample unipolar depression. Eighty-four inpatients depression current and/or lifetime were assessed a baseline assessment including impulsivity, ideation, constructs IPTS. Seventy-four these patients underwent 6-day ecological momentary...
Higher rates of depression, suicidal ideation and suicide risk have been reported for veterinarians in various studies worldwide. This study investigates whether this is also true German veterinarians.A total 3.118 (78.8 per cent female, mean age 41.3 years) between 22 69 years were included compared with two general population samples the same range using Suicide Behaviours Questionnaire-Revised Patient Health Questionnaire.Current was found 19.2 veterinarians, only 5.7 population. 32.11...
Abstract Background Sleep disturbances are an underestimated risk factor for suicidal ideation and behavior. Previous research provided preliminary support of a temporal relationship between sleep ideation. The present study therefore sought to investigate the prospective association disturbances, passive active ideation, further psychological factors, such as state impulsivity depression. Methods Seventy-three psychiatric inpatients (71% female) with unipolar depressive disorder current or...
(1) Background. Defeat and entrapment have been highlighted as major risk factors of suicidal ideation behavior. Nevertheless, little is known about their short-term variability longitudinal association in real-time. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether defeat change over time predicts stated by the integrated motivational–volitional model (2) Methods. Healthy participants (n = 61) underwent a 7-day smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) on ideation/behavior...
The present study aimed to validate the German version of Short Defeat and Entrapment Scale (SDES). Validity reliability were established in an online (N = 480), outpatient 277) inpatient sample 296). Statistical analyses included confirmatory factor (CFA) group differences defeat entrapment. For sample, CFA indicated a two-factor solution, whereas for both one- solutions fitted data equally well. properties solution (defeat entrapment subscale) excellent. Thus, further based on this...
Assessment of implicit self-associations with death, measured by a death Implicit Association Test (IAT), has shown promise for the prediction suicide risk. The present study examined whether performance on IAT is associated lifetime, recent, or future attempt status as well self-report measures risk factors (e.g., perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness) in two inpatient samples low versus high severity suicidality. Furthermore, we investigated explicit suicidal ideation and...
To further validate the concept of suicidal subtypes distinguished by indicators thinking and behavior with regard to clinical characteristics past future suicide attempts.Psychiatric inpatients were assessed (study 1: ecological momentary assessments in 74 depressed ideation; study 2: 224 after a attempt over 12-month follow-up period). Subtypes identified using latent profile analysis (based on real-time ideation) class features ideation characteristics). Comparisons between included...
The Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (INQ) assesses Thwarted Belongingness (TB) and Perceived Burdensomeness (PB), two predictors of suicidal thoughts. Up to now, the use item response theory (IRT) for evaluation INQ has been restricted a single study with clinically depressed youth. Therefore, psychometric properties INQ-15-subscales TB PB were now evaluated in general population sample (N = 2508) clinical adult 185) using IRT, specifically Rasch model (RM) graphical log-linear (GLLRM). Of...
Hopelessness is a transdiagnostically relevant clinical construct, related to depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidality. Economic, valid, reliable assessment of hopelessness thus crucial for both research practice. This study aimed at validating nine-item short version the Beck Scale in three large German samples psychiatric inpatients, psychotherapy outpatients, healthy controls. Data from N = 2321 participants (86.3 % female, mean age 31.8 years [SD=10.4]) were used...
Identifying various interacting risk factors for suicidality is important to develop preventive measures. The Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicidal Behavior (IPTS) postulates suicidal ideation resulting from the occurrence Perceived Burdensomeness (PB) and Thwarted Belongingness (TB). behavior ultimately occurs if people have a Capability Suicide. In past studies, validity TB was often not empirically confirmed, questioning which aspects are central related whether applied...
