ABSTRACT
This study aimed to assess hopelessness in 170 hospitalized individuals with recent suicide attempt and examine its association with patients' characteristics, with a view to improving awareness in health professionals and especially nurses, who are among the first to take care of these patients. Participants completed Beck Hopelessness Scale and Beck Depression Inventory. More than half (51.18%) experienced moderate-to-severe hopelessness. A multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, attempted suicide method, past suicide attempt, and psychiatric diagnosis contributed statistically significantly to hopelessness prediction. Hopelessness assessment could efficiently help health professionals to minimize both inpatient suicide and suicidal acts after discharge.
