Data was collected using multidimensional scale of perceived social support, parental-bonding instrument and the Beck suicide intention scale. Data was analysed using SPSS 23. <br><br>RESULTS: There were 50 patients aged 18-35 years. Social support and parental bonding factor 'care' had significant negative correlation with suicide intent (p<0.05). Parental bonding factor 'overprotectiveness' had significant positive correlation with suicide intent (p<0.05). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Social support and parental bonding can both play substantial role in saving lives.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
