Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of borderline personality disorder (BPD) tendency and impulsivity on suicide ideation in counseling patients. Methods A total of 120 counseling patients were evaluated by the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire (PDQ-4+ ), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11). All participants were also interviewed with self-made structured clinical questionnaire for suicide ideation. Results ①Patients with suicide ideation had significantly higher score of BPD tendency ((6.02±2.15) vs (3.91±2.31), t=5.164, P 0.01), but there was no significant difference of impulsivity(F=3.536, P>0.05). ②Logistic hierarchical regression analysis revealed that only BPD tendency (B=0.319; P=0.009; OR=1.375)had a significant role in the prediction of suicide ideation after controlling for gender and depressive diagnoses. Conclusion Compared with impulsivity, BPD tendency can better predict suicide ideation of counseling patients. Key words: Counseling patients; Borderline personality disorder tendency; Impulsivity; Suicide ideation
