Summary: This study examined the influence of perceived abusive supervision on graduate students' suicidal ideation and the mediating roles of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness. The results showed that abusive supervision directly exacerbated suicidal ideation and indirectly influenced it through thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness. These findings enrich our understanding of the supervisor-student relationship and provide practical insights for psychosocial interventions.

Summary: The study examined the role of perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness in the pathway from distress to suicidal ideation. The findings revealed that both of these factors moderate and mediate the relationship between distress and suicidal ideation, with thwarted belongingness having a stronger effect. Increasing belongingness and reducing the perception of being a burden on others may be effective strategies for preventing suicide.

Summary: This study examined the mediating role of thwarted belongingness (TB) and perceived burdensomeness (PB) in the relationship between perceived social support and suicide ideation distress among psychiatric inpatients. The results showed that the combination of TB and PB may be proximal risk factors for suicide ideation distress among psychiatric inpatients with lower perceived social support.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide (IPTS) in medical students and found that medical students with higher levels of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness were more likely to have suicidal tendencies. Among the three characteristics of the IPTS, perceived burdensomeness may be a strong predictor of severe suicide risk in medical students.

Summary: Suicide is a major concern in Eating Disorders, with studies suggesting that Perceived Burdensomeness may play a crucial role in suicidal ideation. While some predictions from the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide have been supported, the specific reasons for the elevated suicide rate in anorexia nervosa remain unclear.

Summary: Adolescence is a high-risk period for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and understanding the meaning in life may help reduce the frequency of NSSI caused by thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness. In Spanish adolescents, thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness are positively associated with the frequency of lifetime NSSI, while meaning in life may have a negative impact.

Summary: Preventing suicide during the COVID-19 pandemic is more challenging than ever before, with common risk factors including fear of COVID-19, economic instability, poor access to healthcare, pre-existing psychiatric disorders, and social disconnect. Insights from studies suggest that perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, stress sensitivity, and cognitive errors may be reasons behind these risk factors. Awareness of COVID-19 stressors and community-based approaches like gatekeeper training, online psychotherapy, and techniques such as mindfulness and cognitive behavior therapy can help reduce suicide risk.

Summary: Existing studies have found a strong correlation between interpersonal relationships and the risk of suicidal ideation (SI), but the mechanism of this association is still not well understood. This study examined how perceived stress from interpersonal relations is linked to SI and investigated the roles of meaning in life and coping humor. The findings showed that SI was associated with thwarted belongingness (TB) and fear of negative evaluation (FNE), and it was negatively correlated with meaning in life and coping humor. Importantly, two dimensions of meaning in life mediated the associations between TB, FNE, and SI. Additionally, coping humor mitigated the effect of FNE on SI. These results provide valuable insights for suicide prevention and intervention among Chinese university students.

Summary: Suicide plans and attempts rarely occur without prior suicidal ideation but are hard to predict. This study found that the majority of individuals who transitioned from suicidal ideation to suicide plans or attempts did so within 2 years. Several factors, including mental or substance use disorders, sexual minority status, age, gender, and family support, were independently associated with the speed of transition.

Summary: The majority of people who die by suicide have never accessed mental health services and often do not have a diagnosed mental illness. Certain demographic factors, such as being male, younger or older in age, and living in rural areas, are associated with non-receipt of mental health services. Additionally, individuals who do not receive mental health services are less likely to have a psychiatric diagnosis, past suicidal behavior, or contact with general health services, and are more likely to use violent means of suicide. There is some evidence suggesting that minority ethnicity and psychosocial stressors may also contribute to service non-receipt.

Summary: There is ongoing interest in exploring the relationship between social constructs and mental health from different disciplines. This study aims to understand the different interpretations of 'social' by researchers and how these variables are linked to mental health, as well as the differences between academic disciplines. The results show that while approaches vary, there is significant overlap between disciplines. Psychology and psychiatry focus on social skills and emotions, while public health and social sciences focus on social relationships, status, and context as determinants of mental health. Medicine tends to focus on the social outcomes of mental health. The findings suggest potential areas for growth, particularly in intervention research that utilizes social approaches.

Summary: Most people in Australia did not increase their alcohol consumption during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, factors such as COVID-19 exposure, higher coping ability, depression symptoms, and male gender were associated with increased or elevated levels of alcohol use. Changes in work and social environments had mixed effects on alcohol consumption.

Summary: This study examined the use and attitudes towards telehealth among mental health professionals in Australia and New Zealand during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that the majority of professionals have used telehealth and plan to continue using it, but they are less likely to use it for clients with complex issues. Participants had mixed views on the effectiveness and impact of telehealth on the therapeutic process. This highlights the need for guidance to ensure that telehealth remains a viable and effective healthcare medium in the future.

Summary: This study investigates the challenges faced by Australian military veterans in civilian employment by conducting one-on-one interviews with 35 veterans using a phenomenology approach. Thematic analysis reveals four major themes, including starting over, mental health, interpersonal cultural difficulties, and organizational differences. Initiatives aimed at addressing unemployment and underemployment for veterans should focus on preparedness, education, and expectation management for both veterans and civilian employers/colleagues, as well as emphasize interpersonal and organizational cultural differences, such as structure, teamwork, role clarity and feedback, understanding military skills, and reducing mental health stigma and discriminatory practices.

Summary: The study developed and validated the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale-Modified (SIDAS-M), a five-item assessment for measuring suicidal ideation in autistic adults. The results showed that the SIDAS-M had good psychometric properties and demonstrated good convergent and divergent validity. The scores on the SIDAS-M were found to significantly predict suicidal behavior in follow-up interviews. Overall, the SIDAS-M showed potential as a useful tool for identifying increased suicidal risk in autistic adults without intellectual disability.

Summary: Suicide bereavement poses challenges for many individuals, yet there is a lack of postvention responses and evidence to guide them. A survey of 18 postvention experts revealed that navigating grief, managing relationships, and dealing with practical challenges were the most important issues for people bereaved by suicide. Access to information, practical assistance, and non-judgmental support were deemed crucial early on in the bereavement period.

Summary: There is a strong relationship between symptoms of insomnia and depression, but little is known about the factors that mediate this relationship. This study examined rumination and unhelpful beliefs about sleep as potential mediators between insomnia and depression symptoms. It also evaluated the effect of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) on these mediators and the overall effect on depressive symptoms.

Summary: In a cross-sectional analysis of a large cohort, researchers tested the associations between various features of typing behavior and mental health symptoms, and examined whether these relationships differed between genders. The results showed a weak negative association between keystroke timing features and mental health symptoms, with gender differences in the relationships between keystroke frequency features and mental health symptoms. It is suggested that keystroke metadata should be collected longitudinally and combined with other digital phenotypes to enhance their clinical relevance.
