Abstract

Suicide is considered as a deliberate behavior in which several factors play important roles. Indi-vidual mental status as well as social and economic performance among university students may have potential impact on suicidality (1). University students are at the risk of developing mental disorders such as depression with suicidal ideations (2). They are in the most active period of their lives seeking for more gratifications but they could face with several barriers such as separation from belongings, losing family supports, living in a dormitory, experiencing economic problems, being forced to get autonomy, having learning problems, and uncertain future of work may make them feel unhappy (3). One of the causes of suicide in developing countries is stressful social events (4, 5). Suicidal behavior can be considered as the result of a complex interaction of psychosocial and familial factors. Social changes that may be in relation with suicide include family instability, marital conflicts
