The Risk Factors of Suicidal Ideation Among KUPTM Students

Abstract

This study aims to identify the relationship between thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, depression, and perceived stress with suicidal ideation. The research is conducted by referring to previous studies. This study used The Interpersonal–Psychological Theory of Suicide as a basis to conduct the study. The study used a survey as a data collection method. For the pre-test, the study collected 129 responses from the Kolej Universiti Poly-Tech Mara Kuala Lumpur. The study used an online form to collect the data. The findings suggested that the independent variables were all correlated to suicidal ideation. Thus, the research finding is significant to expand the literature on suicidal ideation issues in Malaysia. Besides, many precautious measures can be implemented in advance to avoid suicide cases to happen.
