Abstract:
Objective:To understand the status of suicide and self-injury among college students of Yao nationality in Guangxi and their relationship with psychological adjustment ability, and to support the prevention and intervention of suicide and self-injury behavior of Yao university students.
Methods:From April to May 2019,a questionnaire survey was conducted among 844 Yao university students in three universities in Guangxi in demographics, psychological resilience, and forgiveness.
Results:Among the students of the Yao ethnic group in Guangxi, 10.90% had suicidal ideation; 4.62% had suicide plan; 3.55% had suicide preparation; 2.84% had suicidal action; and 12.56% had suicidal behavior. The total scores of students with suicidal ideation in Psychological Resilience, Self-Compassion and Hearland Forgiveness Scale were significantly lower than those without suicidal ideation, which was statistically significant(t=-3.74, -5.54, -4.97,P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that a high score for forgiveness was negatively correlated with suicidal behavior(OR=0.28) and self-harm behavior (OR=0.32)(P<0.05).
Conclusion:The psychological resilience, forgiveness, and self-compassion of Yao college students are closely related to suicide-related psychological behaviors and self-harm behaviors. Suicide and self-harm behaviors can be reduced by improving the self-psychological adjustment ability of Yao college students.
