Abstract

OBJECTIVE:To explore the prevalence rate of suicidal ideation and its risk and protective factors in military personnel.

METHODS:A total of 2071 military personnel were investigated by stratified random cluster sampling in May to August of 2015.The Question 7 of Beck Depression Scale (BDI) was used to test suicide ideation (item 7 score ≥ 1 was dovetailed in suicide ideation group).Family,social demographic and occupational factors were assessed with the self-made general characteristics questionnaire.The data were analyzed with multiple stepwise logistic regression.

RESULTS:There were 382 (18.4%) military personnel whose scores of item 7 were ≥1.Family history of suicide (OR =42.97,95% CI =29.14-63.35),surrounding suicide (OR =2.46,95% CI =1.75-3.46),drinking (OR =1.64,95% CI =1.31-2.07) and level of education (OR =1.38,95% CI =1.01-1.90) were risk factors of suicidal ideation.Protective factors were (OR =0.60,95% CI =0.50-0.72) and station (OR =0.15,95% CI =0.03-0.64).

CONCLUSION:It suggests that in suicidal prevention for military,more attention is deserved paying to those military personnel who have family history of suicide,surrounding suicide,drinking habit,and are stationed in remote areas and air force.
