Abstract:
Objective :To systematically evaluate the incidence of suicide ideation among HIV/AIDS patients in China, so as to provide insights into prevention of suicidal behaviors among HIV/AIDS patients.
Methods :All publications pertaining to suicide ideation were jointly retrieved in electronic databases from database creation to May 22, 2022, including CNKI, CMB, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed and Web of Science. The quality of literatures was evaluated using the 11 quality indicators for cross-sectional studies recommended by the United States Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and a meta-analysis was performed using the software Stata 16.0. The stability of the study results was evaluated using sensitivity analysis, and the publication bias was evaluated using Begg's test.
Results :A total of 1 557 publications were screened and 32 literatures covering 12 917 HIV/AIDS patients were included in the final analysis, including 21 Chinese publications and 11 English publications, and 19 high-quality publications and 13 moderate-quality publications. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of suicide ideation was 30.3% (95%CI: 23.2%-37.4%) among HIV/AIDS patients in China, and subgroup analysis showed higher incidence of suicide ideation in unemployed HIV/AIDS patients than in employed patients (P<0.05). Sensitivity analysis showed stable study results, and Begg's test revealed no significant publication bias.
Conclusions :The incidence of suicide ideation is 23.2% to 37.4% among HIV/AIDS patients in China. High attention paid to psychological health and early psychological interventions are required to prevent the development of suicide ideation.
