Description

Introduction: Psychological changes like emotional disorders often occur
in adolescents that can cause pressure and stress when they cannot cope
well. One way to reduce the psychological pain is to self-harm to suicidal
thoughts. This study aims to explore the relationship of social support and
academic stress to the onset of suicidal ideation in adolescents.
Methods: This research used a quantitative with cross-sectional design.
The respondents were 219 high school teenagers aged more than or equal
to 17 years who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. This
research was conducted in a senior high school in Denpasar Bali from
January to May 2023. Data collection used the MSPSS questionnaire to
measure social support, the ESSA questionnaire to measure academic
stress, and the SIS questionnaire to measure suicidal ideation. Data were
analyzed using the Spearman's rank test because the data was not
normally distributed (α≤0.05).
Results: The results of this study indicate that there was a significant
relationship between social support (family, friends, and special people)
and suicidal ideation (p=0.002; p=0.000; p=0.000); however, in the
academic stress variable, it was found that there was no significant
relationship with suicidal ideation in adolescents (p=0.085).
Conclusion: These findings emphasize the importance of social support as
a protective factor in adolescents in reducing suicidal ideation. Nursing
education can be provided to teachers and students in an effort to prevent
early mental health problems.
