The relationships among the meaning of life, coping styles, and suicidal ideation: a network analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Suicide is a serious global public health problem, and suicidal ideation is a significant predictor of and risk factor for suicide deaths. Previous studies have confirmed the relationships among suicidal ideation, the meaning of life and coping styles using latent variables but have overlooked the heterogeneity of symptoms.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to explore the fine-grained relationships among these three factors based on network analysis to provide a theoretical basis to identify potential psychological interventions for suicidal ideation.

Methods

These factors were investigated by administering the Chinese Meaning of life Questionnaire (C-MLQ), the Simple Coping Styles Questionnaire (SCSQ), and the Suicidal Ideation Self-Assessment Scale
