| Summary: | Objective<p>To examine longitudinal associations of psychological distress, community integration, suicide ideation, and attempts within 3-month post-discharge period among patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).</p>Methods<p>Prospective study design with a 3-month followed-up from the hospital admission through community reintegration. All the 53 patients with TRD were interviewed one week after admission (T0) plus 1-month (T1) and three months (T2) after discharge with a structured questionnaire from October 2021 to September 2022. Descriptive and correlational analysis of the trend and associates of TRD suicide risks were performed.</p>Results<p>The results revealed that suicide ideation and attempt rates reduced after inpatient treatment, but increased altogether from T1 to T2 in the community. Nearly half of the participants (46%) reported recent suicide ideation, and 13.46% attempted suicide at T2. Perceiving poor quality of life and a low level of community integration performance were associated modestly with suicide ideation, with 1.02- and 1.10-times higher risk, respectively. On the other hand, a high level of psychological distress increased the hazard of suicide attempts by 1.13-fold.</p>Conclusions<p>Our findings suggest future suicide prevention strategies and the importance of regular assessment of inpatients and outpatients for psychological distress to identify and engage high-risk individuals.</p> |
