标题：The role of adjustment problems and pandemic-related stressors on suicide ideation: A general population study in Lithuania and Poland amid the COVID-19 pandemic
摘要：There is a great concern among experts that multiple stressors related to the COVID-19 crisis could be associated with elevated suicide risk. The present study was a part of a larger pan-European study initiated by the ESTSS (Lotzin et al., 2020). Suicidal ideation was measured in two countries - Lithuania and Poland. The main aim of the current analysis was to identify factors associated with suicidal ideation in Lithuania and Poland, amid the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The total sample consisted of 2,459 adults in both countries. 57.2% were female; the mean age was 43.45 years (SD = 15.91). The data were collected from June to August 2020. Measures for suicidal ideation (SIDAS), adjustment problems (ADNM-8), and COVID-19 related stressors were used in the current multinomial binary logistic regression analysis. Results: High levels of adjustment problems, loneliness, and burden due to staying more at home were significantly associated with suicide ideation in both Lithuania and Poland during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: Adjustment problems, loneliness, and perceived stress due to staying more at home could be important targets for suicide prevention and intervention amid the pandemic. As this is an ongoing study and the second assessment is currently in process, more results based on the analysis of the longitudinal data will be presented during the conference.
