The contribution of the R-PAS in the assessment of Adolescents with Suicidal Ideation and Behaviors

Introduction This database includes the raw data linked with the paper “The contribution of the R-PAS in the assessment of Adolescents with Suicidal Ideation and Behaviors” published on “JOURNAL NAME”. In this paper, we aimed to establish the suicide risk of those who seek psychiatric treatment as far as possible. Given that the presence of ideation is often denied by actual suicidal individuals – due to shame, stigma, and fear of being a burden to others – the Rorschach test may contribute to the assessment of risk/protective factors in personality functioning. Methods We administered the Multi-Attitude Suicide Tendency scale (MAST), Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), Rorschach-Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) to 136 adolescents (outpatient or inpatient) admitted to the Child Neuropsychiatry department of Lecco and Pavia (Italy). We identified 95 patients with suicidal concern (SC) and 41 with no suicidal concern (N.SC). Results (in brief): There were significant differences in means of the SC-Comp among N.SC and SC groups; among the sub-components that make up this index, the most significantly related to suicidal concern were the variables VFD, CBlend, MOR, LSO-Cmplx, and Ego Index. The SC-Comp was, however, not able to distinguish adolescents with suicidal ideation from those with actual suicidal attempts, and this result is in line with the literature.## 引言 本数据库收录了发表于《JOURNAL NAME》的论文《罗夏克性能评估系统（Rorschach-Performance Assessment System，R-PAS）在自杀意念与行为青少年评估中的应用》相关的原始数据。本研究旨在尽可能精准地明确寻求精神科诊疗人群的自杀风险。鉴于有实际自杀行为的个体常会因羞耻感、病耻感以及害怕成为他人负担，而否认自身存在自杀意念，罗夏墨迹测验或可助力人格功能层面风险与保护因子的评估。 ## 方法 本研究向意大利莱科省与帕维亚省儿童神经精神科收治的136名青少年（门诊或住院患者）施测了多态度自杀倾向量表（Multi-Attitude Suicide Tendency scale，MAST）、哥伦比亚自杀严重程度评定量表（Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale，C-SSRS）以及罗夏克性能评估系统（R-PAS）。最终纳入95名存在自杀关注的患者（自杀关注组，suicidal concern，SC）与41名无自杀关注的患者（非自杀关注组，no suicidal concern，N.SC）。 ## 结果（简述） 非自杀关注组与自杀关注组的自杀关注组合指数（SC-Comp）均值存在显著差异；在构成该指数的子成分中，与自杀关注关联最为显著的变量为VFD、CBlend、MOR、LSO-Cmplx及自我指数（Ego Index）。不过，自杀关注组合指数（SC-Comp）无法区分存在自杀意念的青少年与有实际自杀未遂行为的青少年，这一结果与现有研究文献的结论一致。
