FAMILY DYNAMICS AND SUICIDAL IDEATION AMONG MEDICAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

This study explores the influence of family-related factors on “suicidal ideation among medical university students”. Analysis of data from a sample of 400 participants reveals compelling associations between family dynamics and the prevalence of suicidal ideation. Significant factors include experiences of parental scolding and physical discipline, academic pressure, poor parent-child relationships, parental divorce, and unstable parental employment. The findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to foster healthier family environments, emphasizing the collective societal responsibility to prevent suicidal ideation among medical university students and promote mental well-being.
