Self-Burdensomeness, Self-Esteem and Suicidal Ideation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low self-esteem and self-burdensomeness have been proposed as risk factors for suicidal ideation. Yet, self-burdensomeness may be more relevant to suicidal ideation than low self-esteem. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association between self-esteem, self-burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation in a sample of adult outpatients.

Methods

Data from N = 202 patients (66.3% female; age: M[SD] = 39.87 [13.31], range: 19-73) who started therapy at an outpatient clinic were collected. A subsample of n = 111 patients (68.5% female; age: M[SD] = 38.50 [13.48], range: 20-73) also took part in a second assessment three-months later.

Results

Self-burdensomeness was shown to predict suicidal ideation concur
