Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between suicidal ideation and family function in college students,and further explore the roles of self-affirmation and reasons for living in this relationship.Method:Totally 843 college students were selected in Guangdong Province,and surveyed with the suicide ideation items of the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation-Chinese Version(BSI-CV),Family Function Questionnaire(APGAR),self-affirmation subscale of General Health Questionnaire(GHQ-20)and Reason for Living Scale-Chinese Version(RFL-C).Re-sults:The scores of APGAR,self-affirmation subscale and RFL-C were negatively correlated with suicidal ideation scores(r=-0.10,-0.14,-0.11;Ps＜0.01).The mediating and chain mediating effects of self-affirmation and reasons for living were-0.03,-0.02 and-0.01,respectively,accounting for 42.86％,28.56％and 14.29％of the total effect,respectively.Conclusion:College students'suicidal ideation may be related to family function,and could be reduced by enhancing self-affirmation and reasons for living.
