Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the Dissociative Experiences and a six-dimensional conceptualization of emotion dysregulation between people who have suicide ideation and suicide attempt.
Methods: Participants were patients referred to Imam Hasan Hospital of North Khorasan with suicide Attempts, and to Psychiatric clinics in north Khorasan who had suicide ideation. In a comparative casual study, a total of 141 patients of young adults were considered. 76 of them who had suicidal ideation but no suicide attempts were compared with the rest (n = 65) who had at least one suicide attempt in the last week. They completed measures of Dissociative Experiences, emotion dysregulation and suicidal ideation.
Results: suicide Attempters reported significantly more Dissociative Experiences) P < 0.021( and difficulties with Impulse Control (P < 0.001) -which is one of the sixdimensional conceptualization of emotion dysregulation- than suicide ideators. Conclusions: Screening and identification of people who have significant dissociative experiences and difficulties with impulse control is essential due to a high risk of suicide attempt. Therefore, they should be given higher priority to receive medical treatments and Psychotherapy.
