TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Non-disclosure of suicidal ideation in psychiatric inpatients: rates and correlates JO - Death studies A1 - Høyen, Karina Sagmo A1 - Solem, Stian A1 - Cohen, Lisa Janet A1 - Prestmo, Astrid A1 - Hjemdal, Odin A1 - Vaaler, Arne Einar A1 - Galynker, Igor A1 - Torgersen, Terje SP - 1823 EP - 1831 VL - 46 IS - 8 N2 - The study explored how common non-disclosure of suicidal ideation is in a sample of adult psychiatric inpatients (N = 171) plus associated patient characteristics. A large percentage (51.5%) withheld some information on suicidal ideation during admission. In multivariable analyses, correlates of non-disclosure included a diagnosis of emotionally unstable personality disorder, low satisfaction with stay, and symptoms of the suicide crisis syndrome. In univariate analyses, therapists' emotional response to the patient was also a correlate.

FINDINGS indicate that among acute psychiatric inpatients, non-disclosure of suicidal ideation is quite common, requiring awareness from clinicians relying on this parameter in suicide risk assessments.
