Although the significance of poor physical health for suicide risk is well established, the potential relevance of physical disability, as distinct from diseases and traumas that give rise to disability, has received little attention. Prior evidence suggests the possible utility of the stress process theoretical model for understanding variations in risk for suicide ideation and the contribution of physical disability to such risk. In this article, we examine the independent and joint…

A notable outcome was that the absence of a regular walking was correlated with increased suicidal ideation in middle-aged women, and the need for a suicide-intervention support system that includes screening for suicide risk in healthcare settings, especially among young women with physical limitations is important.

Suicidal ideation and its determinants in Korean adults: The role of physical activity and functional limitations.

A notable outcome was that the absence of a regular walking was correlated with suicidal ideation in young and middle-aged adults in a high suicidal society, indicating the need to identify risk factors that have implications for preventive intervention.

Interventions targeting cognitive processes that underlie suicide risk may be applicable to people with mobility and vision disabilities.

The influence of disability on suicidal behaviour

Physical Disability and the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide

Interpersonal Theory of Suicide constructs were examined in individuals with physical disabilities, a population identified as having heightened suicidal ideation, and it was indicated that those with disabilities reported higher perceived burdensomeness, but not thwarted belongingness, fearlessness about death, or suicidal Ideation.

Health conditions, physical disabilities, perceived burdensomeness, and depressive symptoms influence suicidal ideation

The serial indirect effects of the combined number of physical disabilities and health conditions and number of health conditions on suicidal ideation through perceived burdensomeness and depression were each significant.

Physical health was independently associated with suicidal ideation after adjustment for mental health status and socio-demographic characteristics, underscoring the importance of considering physical health in population-based suicide prevention efforts and in mitigating suicide risk in individual veterans.

There is a dearth of research on pharmacological and psychosocial interventions for co-occurring AUD/OUD and suicidal ideation and behavior, and further research is needed to understand the effects of alcohol and opioid use on suicide risk.
