Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi u kojoj mjeri psihološka bol, zdravstvena kvaliteta života i depresija predviđaju vjerojatnost suicida kod osoba oboljelih od depresivnog poremećaja. Točnije, može li se temeljem ovih prediktora predvidjeti razina suicida i je li ta predikcija bolja za pojedinačnu varijablu ili za njihovu kombinaciju. U istraživanju su ukupno sudjelovale 73 osobe (32,9% muškaraca i 67,1% žena) hospitalizirane na odjelu psihijatrije u Klinici za psihijatriju Sveti Ivan, prosječna dob bila je 44,5 godina. Podatci su prikupljeni papir – olovka metodom putem upitnika koji se sastojao od „Upitnika o zdravlju pacijenta“, „Upitnika suicidalnosti“, „Upitnika zdravstvenog statusa“ i „Mee – Bunney Skale za procjenu psihološke boli“ te pitanja o socio – demografskim podatcima. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su značajnu povezanost sve tri prediktorske varijable: psihološka bol, depresivnost i zdravstvena kvaliteta života sa varijablom suicida. Ipak, nisu sve varijable značajno doprinijele predviđanju suicida. Psihološka bol pokazala se značajnom u predviđanju razine suicida kad je iz analize isključena depresivnost, no u kombinaciji ova dva faktora jedino se depresivnost pokazala značajnom. Razina depresivnosti se pokazala najznačajnijim faktorom u predviđanju razine suicida, dok se zdravstvena kvaliteta života samo djelomično pokazala kao značajan faktor u predviđanju vjerojatnosti suicida. Subskala emocionalne dobrobiti značajno doprinosi predviđanju, dok subskala generalnog zdravlja ne doprinosi značajno. Rezultati također pokazuju i kako se kombinacijom psihološke boli, depresivnosti i zdravstvene kvalitete života može bolje predvidjeti razina suicida kod osoba s depresivnim poremećajem, nego temeljem samo jednog od ovih prediktora.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which psychological pain, health-related quality of life, and depression predict the likelihood of suicide in individuals diagnosed with depressive disorder. Specifically, the research sought to ascertain whether these predictors can forecast suicide risk levels better individually or in combination. The study included a total of 73 participants (32.9% men and 67.1% women) hospitalized in the psychiatric ward at the Sveti Ivan Clinic for Psychiatry, with an average age of 44.5 years. Data were collected using a paper-and-pencil method through questionnaires, which comprised the "Patient Health Questionnaire," the "Suicidality Questionnaire," the "Health Status Questionnaire," the "Mee-Bunney Psychological Pain Assessment Scale," and questions about socio-demographic information. The results indicated a significant correlation between all three predictor variables: psychological pain, depression, and health-related quality of life and the variable of suicide. However, not all variables significantly contributed to the prediction of suicide. Psychological pain was a significant predictor of suicide levels when depression was excluded from the analysis. In contrast, when both factors were considered together, only depression remained significant. Depression emerged as the most significant factor in predicting suicide levels, while health-related quality of life was only partially significant. Specifically, the subscale of emotional well-being significantly contributed to the prediction, whereas the general health subscale did not. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated that the combination of psychological pain, depression, and health-related quality of life provides a better prediction of suicide risk in individuals with depressive disorder than any single predictor alone.
