Abstract

The present study aimed to examine the relationship of suicidal
thoughts, depression, anxiety, resilience, daily stress and mental health
in university students. The study group consisted of 265 University of
Tehran students. Subjects were asked to complete Beck Depression
Inventory (BDI-II), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Scale for
Suicide Ideation (BSI), Mental Health Scale, Daily Stress Scale and
Resilience Scale. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation
coefficient and stepwise regression. Based on the results, a significant
negative correlation existed between suicidal thoughts and resilience
and self-esteem. Also, variables related to anxiety, depression, mental
health and daily stress had a positive correlation with suicidal
thoughts. The regression analysis indicated that depression was the
strongest factor in predicting suicidal thoughts, and that anxiety,
mental health, resilience and daily stress stood next in the line. The
variables had a total 21 percent influence on the variance of suicidal
thoughts. The study suggests that psychological and mental health
problems, including anxiety and depression, along with other factors
such as resilience and daily stress are important variables in
recognizing and predicting suicidal thoughts
Since symptoms of recurrent PTSD are sustaining and their
emergence, growth and sustainability are to a large extent influenced
by personal variables, and since these factors are connected to pretrauma maladaptive relationships which contribute to emergence of
maladaptive schemas, the schema therapy targeted roots of the
disorder and re-created maladaptive schemas, and it was thus
successful in curing symptoms of recurrent trauma.
