TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Predictors of suicidal behavior in a sample of Turkish suicide attempters JO - Death studies A1 - Reeves, Robert A. A1 - Ak, Ismail A1 - Acar, Burcin A1 - Kose, Samet A1 - Sayar, Kemal SP - 137 EP - 150 VL - 28 IS - 2 N2 - In a Turkish sample, 100 suicide attempters, were compared with 60 healthy controls on measures of hopelessness, depression, and suicidal ideation. Suicide attempters were more depressive, more hopeless, and displayed greater suicidal ideation than healthy controls. Depression severity rather than hopelessness correlated with suicidal intent. Suicide lethality was independent of depression severity, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation and intent, suggesting that lethality is likely due to chance.
