Abstract

Purpose: The amis of this study were to examine the suicide traumatic experiences and attitudes toward suicide and examine their associations with depression, self-efficacy, and social support in general adults.
Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, data were collected through a web-based survey (N=500). We analyzed 441 respondents considering missing data. A structured questionnaire included Attitude Toward Suicide (ATTS), experiences and characteristics related to suicide, depression, self-efficacy, and social support. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA with Scheffe tests, Fisher's exact tests, and Pearson's correlation coefficients with SPSS/WIN 23.
Results: Among study participants, 34.9% reported suicide traumatic experiences. When they had more ‘acceptability’ and ‘understandability’ in the attitudes toward suicide, they were younger, more depressive, and at the lower level of self-efficacy. There were somewhat differences of associations of ‘understandability’ in the attitudes toward suicide with depression, suicide attempt, suicide thought, and experience counseling between the suicide trauma and non-trauma groups. There were positive correlations for ‘acceptability’, ‘understandability’, ‘tabooing’, and depression and negative correlations for ‘acceptability’, self-efficacy, and social support.
Conclusion: Our study findings suggest that educational programs need to improve nurse's ability in suicide-related practices considering psychological factors and development of comprehensive nursing interventions.
