(SOCIAL SCIENCES STUDIES JOURNAL, 2025) Er, Filiz; Duyan, Veli; Özkan, Cengiz; Taymur, İbrahim
The aim of this study is to assess the likelihood of suicide in patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and currently receiving treatment, and to examine the relationship between this likelihood and demographic data, as well as psychosocial factors. Using a descriptive and cross sectional model, the data from 165 participants were collected and evaluated through a personal information form and the Suicide Probability Scale (SPS). The study revealed significant relationships between suicide risk and variables such as age, education level, marital status, place of residence, and types of social support. It was also highlighted that the participants generally had a negative perception of their psychological health, and individuals lacking emotional social support showed higher levels of hopelessness and negative self-concept. Furthermore, individuals receiving low social support were found to have a higher suicide risk. The findings indicate that social work professionals can play a significant role in identifying individuals at risk for suicide and developing preventive measures. These results point to the necessity of strengthening social support systems and improving psychological health services.
