Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of motivational interview based on transtheoretical model stages performed on suicidal behavior and stress coping styles of depressed patients with high suicide risk. This experimental study was conducted with 72 patients with a diagnosis of depression. The data were collected with "Personal Information Form", "Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale (BSIS)", "Stress Coping Strategies Scale (SCSS)". A total of six motivational interview sessions were held once a month for the patients in experimental group. After the motivational interviews, a significant decrease was observed in BSIS scores of the experimental group compared to the first application. No change was detected in control group. A significant increase was found in all SCSS sub-dimension scores of experimental group. In control group, only the scores of optimistic approach and seeking social support were significant. This study has shown that motivational interviewing practices based on transtheoretical model stages can be used in patients with depression to reduce the risk of suicide and strengthen coping.
