在我们的研究中，我们评估了2002年匈牙利国家代表性调查中报告的绝望和自杀企图的频率。随机抽取的样本包括14 000名18岁以上的人。我们创建了广泛使用的贝克绝望量表的简短版本，用于预防自杀的筛查目的。BHS的简短版本由四个项目组成，具有较高的内部一致性（Cronbach的α = 0.85）。此外，我们还对心理、身体、社会学、社会经济以及文化变量进行了调查，这些变量与绝望感和自杀的重要预测因素呈正相关或负相关。以下心理变量与绝望呈正相关：功能失调的态度，疲惫，心理困扰，敌意，缺乏生活目标和无法科普情绪。大学生的凝聚感、社会支持、自我效能感、主观幸福感和解决问题应对方式与大学生的绝望感呈显著负相关。关于绝望和自杀企图之间的关系，我们发现，在过去一年中试图自杀的参与者得分（平均值= 4.86）高于3年前试图自杀的参与者（平均值= 3.57）。这些结果表明，应用简短版本的BHS可能是非常有用的一般做法和精神病护理。
In our study we assessed the frequency of reported hopelessness and suicide attempts in the national representative survey Hungarostudy 2002. The randomly selected sample consisted of 14,000 individuals over the age of 18. We created a short version of the widely used Beck Hopelessness Scale for screening purposes in suicide prevention. The short version of the BHS consists of four items and has high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.85). Moreover, we conducted an investigation into psychological, somatic, sociological and socio-economic as well as cultural variables that show a positive or negative correlation with hopelessness and important predictors of suicide. The following psychological variables showing a positive correlation with hopelessness were identified: dysfunctional attitudes, exhaustion, psychological distress, hostility, lack of life goals and inability to cope emotionally. Sense of coherence, social support, perceived self-efficiency, subjective well-being and problem-solving coping showed a negative correlation with hopelessness. Concerning the relationship between hopelessness and suicide attempts, we found that participants who attempted suicide in the last year scored higher (mean = 4.86) than participants who attempted suicide more than 3 years ago (mean = 3.57). These results indicate that applying the short version of the BHS could be very useful in general practice and in psychiatric care.
