【Abstract】Objective: To explore the influencing factors of suicidal ideation in hospitalized patients with depression. Methods:A total of 66 hospitalized depression patients were recruited. According to the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation, the patients were divided into the suicidal ideation group (40 cases) and the non-suicidal ideation group (26 cases). The 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale,Hamilton Anxiety Scale,Beck hopelessness scale, and Chinese version of Reasons for Living Inventory were used to evaluate the two groups of patients.Result:①The depression score of the suicidal ideation group was significantly higher than that of the non-suicidal ideation group(P＜0.05). There was no statistical difference in the anxiety score between the two groups(P＞0.05)；②The factor score of feeling of the future, the expectation of future, and the total score of the suicidal ideation group were significantly higher than those of the non-suicidal ideation group(P<0.05), and there was no statistical difference in factor score of loss of motivation between the two groups (P>0.05)；③The factor score of survival and coping beliefs, consideration of children, fear of social rejection, moral objection and total scores of patients with suicidal ideation group were significantly lower than those of non-suicide ideation group(P<0.05)；④ Logistic regression analysis showed that survival and coping beliefs are protective factors for suicidal ideation.Conclusion: In clinical practice, we can try to cope with feelings of despair by helping patients find survival and coping beliefs, find meaning in life, and always intervene in suicide.
