Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the moderating effect of psychological resilience in relation to depressive symptoms and suicidal risk among adolescents. MethodsThe research is a descriptive survey. A total of 71 137 adolescents were selected from 163 schools in Deyang by stratified cluster sampling. Their psychological resilience, depressive symptoms and suicide risks were measured oneline by using 10-item Connor-davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RICS-10), Patients’ Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9) and Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R). The moderating effect of psychological resilience in relation to depressive symptoms and suicidal risk was examined by multivariate stratified regression analysis. Results① The score of CD-RISC-10 was negatively related to PHQ-9 score and SBQ-R score (r=-0.305, -0.268, P<0.01). ② Psychological resilience significantly moderated the relationship between depressive symptoms and suicidal risk (β=-0.100, t=-31.716, P<0.01). ③ In both male and female adolescents, resilience played a significant role in depressive symptoms and suicide risk (β=-0.086, -0.084, t=-17.502, -18.839, P<0.01). ConclusionPsychological resilience could significantly alleviate the impact of high-level depressive symptoms on suicidal risk among adolescents, and this effects both male and female adolescents.
