Abstract

Introduction: Suicide remains a significant global health and social problem, with Indonesia showing a lower suicide rate compared to other Asian countries. However, the underreporting of cases in Indonesia suggests that the incidence rate of suicide is higher than documented. This study aimed to identify the risk of suicide among Indonesian college students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 557 students from three universities across Java Island, recruited using the purposive sampling method. The Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI) was used to assess suicide risk.  The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the prevalence of suicide-related outcomes. Additionally, linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the associations between suicide risk, suicidal ideation, suicide planning, and self-control in relation to age, sex, and year of study. Results: The average suicide risk among college students was 4.04 (SD= 6.60; 95%CI = 3.49 – 4.59) out of 38, indicating a generally low risk. However, 34.6% of students experienced the desire to die at least once, and 12.7% had a strong desire to make active suicide attempts. Furthermore, 15.8% of students found suicide an acceptable solution to their problems. Gender was found to be significant predictor of overall suicide risk, ideation and self-control. Conclusions: These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support for college students to prevent suicide and promote mental well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the occupational stress levels among Indonesian nurses and midwives working in Saudi Arabian healthcare settings. Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study assessed occupational stress among Indonesian nurses and midwives working in Saudi Arabia using the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS). A total of 166 respondents (85 nurses and 81 midwives) completed the survey from a professional WhatsApp group. A convenience sampling was attempted, and only those who voluntarily responded to the questionnaire were included. The primary dependent variable was occupational stress, while the independent variables included profession (nurse and midwife), age, sex, education level, workplace setting, marital status, and years of experience. The analytical tests used were Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis. Results: Occupational stress among nurses (Mean = 109) and midwives (Mean = 107) was low in psychological, physical, and social environments. Workload was the most stressful factor for both nurses (Mean = 20.44) and midwives (Mean = 18.88). We found a significant difference in the level of stress based on their workplace (p = 0.038) and educational background (p = 0.005). There was no difference in the level of stress between nurses and midwives (p = 0.188). Conclusions: In comparison, either nurses or midwives have a low level of occupational stress, which is related to psychological, physical, and social environments based on ENSS tools. Therefore, optimal healthcare management and policy should be maintained and improved for migrant nurses and midwives to foster better, sustainable healthcare development in the future.
