自杀是一个日益严重的公共卫生问题，在世界范围内，自杀仍然是一个严重的死亡原因，因此，有必要提高我们对大学生自杀病因学的认识。先前的研究表明，感知压力会增加自杀意念的脆弱性。然而，可能解释这种关联的因素尚未进行实证研究。本研究以大学生为研究对象，采用横断面研究的方法，探讨坚韧性在压力知觉与自杀意念之间的中介作用。参与者包括来自马来西亚公立大学的500名本科生。他们完成了个人观点调查，贝克自杀意念量表和感知压力量表。结构方程模型估计，坚韧性水平低的本科生更有可能报告自杀意念。如预期的那样，坚韧性部分介导之间的感知压力和自杀意念。我们的研究结果表明，较低的坚韧性和更大的感知压力显着预测自杀意念的本科生。这些发现加强了坚韧性的重要性，作为一个保护和预测因素，对感知压力和自杀意念的大学生。
Suicide is a serious and growing public health problem, and it remains a serious cause of death in the world; therefore, it is essential to increase our knowledge concerning the etiology of suicide among undergraduate students. Previous studies have shown that perceived stress increases vulnerability to suicidal ideation. However, factors that may explain the association have not been studied empirically. A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine hardiness as a potential mediator between perceived stress and suicidal ideation among undergraduate students. The participants comprised 500 undergraduate students from Malaysian public universities. They completed the Personal Views Survey, Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation, and the Perceived Stress Scale. Structural equation modeling estimated that undergraduate students with low levels of hardiness were more likely to report suicidal ideation. As expected, hardiness partially mediated between perceived stress and suicidal ideation. Our findings demonstrated that lower hardiness and greater perceived stress significantly predicted suicidal ideation among undergraduate students. These findings reinforce the importance of hardiness as a protective and predictive factor against perceived stress and suicidal ideation among undergraduate students.
