abstract="OBJECTIVE: To explore the attitudes on suicide and their related factors among university students in Chongqing. METHODS: A total of 9808 students from 11 universities in Chongqing, were chosen under stratified cluster random sampling method and had completed a questionnaire survey through the Scale of Public Attitudes on Suicide(SPAS). RESULTS: Data showed that the scores of university students having negative or neutral attitudes towards questions including &quot;suicide is not preventable&quot;, &quot;suicidal behavior is not controllable or is caused by outside forces&quot; and &quot;suicidal behavior can(or is used to)affect the behavior of others'&quot; were 34.28±16.44, 35.64±19.14 and 36.94±16.05 respectively. The scores of students taking neutral attitude towards questions as:&quot;similarity of attempted and completed suicide&quot;, &quot;negative attitudes on the behavior or on the person him/her self&quot;, &quot;positive aspects of suicide and positive feelings about suicides&quot;were 47.38±22.01, 51.78±17.05 and 37.77±18.12 respectively but 70.77±17.21 went to the students who had agreed with &quot;suicide is an important social/health problem&quot;. Factors as gender, nationality, religion, history of attempted suicide and suicide exposure to others appeared having had important effects on the attitude towards suicide among college students. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to consider above mentioned factors when developing related suicide crisis intervention strategy.<p /><p>Language: zh</p>",
