Abstract
Background and Aim:Suicide among adolescents, as one of the serious mental health challenges, has increased significantly in recent years. This phenomenon not only threatens the individual health of adolescents but also has profound negative effects on families and society. The present study aimed to compile and validate the training package of dialectical behavior therapy based on interpersonal needs to prevent adolescent suicidal ideation. Materials and Methods:The statistical population of the study in the qualitative part consisted of all adolescents aged 15-19 in Sahne, Kermanshah province, from April 2013 to June 2014, and the experts whose opinions were consulted to complete the qualitative and content validity of the research. Purposive sampling was used to select participants for the qualitative section. A total of 30 individuals were chosen for the experimental and control groups. In the quantitative part, the statistical population consisted of adolescents identified after completing the suicidal ideation and interpersonal needs scale.
Results:The results of the assumption of equality of variances (Mbox test) indicated that this assumption was met (F = 1.330, P = 0.193). The intergroup analysis showed a significant difference in suicidal ideation scores between the intervention and control groups (P < 0.01). Additionally, the within-group analysis revealed a significant difference in the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up scores (P < 0.001), and the interaction effect of group and time was significant also (P < 0.001). The intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in suicidal ideation in the post-test phase, while the control group did not show significant changes. These findings suggest that the DBT training package based on interpersonal needs effectively reduces suicidal ideation in adolescents and can serve as an effective strategy for suicide prevention.
Conclusion:In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that interpersonal needs based Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) training can serve as an effective intervention to reduce suicidal ideation in adolescents. This educational package enhances interpersonal skills and emotional regulation, helping adolescents build greater resilience to life's challenges and prevent risky behaviors.
