In recent years, suicidal ideation has become a global threat among youth and only few researches has been carried out to link suicidal ideation with psychological disorders and the preventative factors that can buffer suicidal ideation. This current research is to investigate the role of stress, depression and social support in students’ suicidal ideation in 122 university students from Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI), using online computer administration survey. The survey consists of five sections and ethical consideration is taken to avoid any misconduct. The psychological instruments used in this research are Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and Scale for Suicide Ideation (SSI). The collected information were then analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis. The results shows that each variables correlates with one another. The Pearson correlation of PSS and SSI, and BDI and SSI indicated that the variables have a statistically significant linear relationship with r = .240 and r = .548, respectively. Meanwhile, MSPSS and SSI are negatively correlated with r = -.324, which indicated that lower support system, higher tendency of suicidal ideation. All hypotheses are accepted and supported from past researches. Therefore, as a conclusion, stress, depression and social support does play a role in students’ suicidal ideation among university students.

The aim in this study was to underline the importance of family environment as a significant associate of suicide probability among university students. For this aim 226 Turkish university students completed Suicide Probability Scale, Family Environment Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, and Positive and Negative Affect Scale. As a result of the formulated regression analysis, after controlling for the 51% of the total variance accounted for by the control variables (i.e., gender, age, living with family versus away from family, and Grade Point Averages) and mood related variables (i.e., depressive symptoms, and positive and negative affect), family cohesion still emerged as a significant associate of the suicide probability. These findings underline the importance of family relations as a risk factor of suicide among university students. Keywords Suicide probability AE Family environment AE Depressive symptoms AE Negative affect AE Positive affect AE Turkish university students Recent research reveals that a high proportion of university students have attempted suicide and a very high percentage of students have thought about it (Collins & Paykel, 2000; Hamilton & Schweitzer, 2000).

The study was conducted with 445 high schools students, 227 girls, and 218 boys. The participants were aged between 14 and 18, and their average age was 15.90. Data were collected through the 'Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support', the 'Ways of Coping Questionnaire', and the 'Suicide Probability Scale'. Data were analyzed using MANOVA, Pearson correlation test and regression analysis. Results showed that suicide probability, perceived support from friends and significant others and helpless approach scores of the girls were significantly higher than the boys. Besides, significant relationships were found between suicide probability and perceived social support and coping styles. Regression analyses were performed for girls and boys separately. Perceived social support from family, helpless and optimistic styles were found to predict female adolescents' suicide probability significantly. As for male adolescents, in addition to perceived social support from family, helpless and optimistic styles, seeking social support was also found to be a significant predictor of suicide probability. Findings were discussed in line with the related literature, and recommendations were made.

Suicide is a thought or action that aims to end a life that was done intentionally, starting from suicidal ideation until finally actually committing suicide. Attempts to commit suicide begin with the idea of suicide, threats of suicide, attempted suicide, and committing suicide. Suicide attempts are defined as all acts of self-injury with the purpose of seeking attention, and the desire to make suicide the cause of death listed on the death certificate on him [1, 2]. Depression becomes the most dominant cause of suicide. Most teenagers and children who have suicide ideation experience feelings of depression, negative thoughts and anhedonia, and low self-esteem. In addition, family factors can also contribute to suicide ideation. Individuals with families who apply high control, who have a history of psychopathology and history of suicide, and who experience family dysfunction and disharmony are associated with adolescent suicide ideation. Another factor that also influences suicide ideation in adolescents is bullying. Bullying can be a potential risk factor for depression, suicide ideation, and suicide attempts in adolescents for both victims and perpetrators. Problems at school, such as poor academic performance, lack of attendance and negative attitudes towards schools are also related to suicide ideation. Other factors that influence suicide ideation are physical and sexual abuse, alcohol and perfectionism [3].
