abstract="OBJECTIVE: We studied the point prevalence of suicidal and violent ideation, as well  as their co-occurrence and associated characteristics in inpatients with mental  health disorders. <br><br>METHODS: Data on suicidal and violent ideation, and  sociodemographic and clinical information, were gathered from 1,737 patients when  admitted to the acute psychiatric ward. <br><br>RESULTS: The point prevalence was 51.9% for  suicidal ideation and 19.8% for violent ideation. The point prevalence of  co-occurring suicidal and violent ideation was 12.3%, which was significantly  greater than expected by chance. Logistic regression analyses indicated that both  suicidal and violent ideation were associated with young age and the absence of  diagnoses of psychotic disorders; in addition, suicidal ideation was associated with  female gender, violent ideation, and diagnoses of mood- neurotic and personality  disorders, whereas violent ideation was associated with male gender, suicidal  ideation, and diagnoses of mood and neurotic disorders. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the  findings highlight the need for further research on suicidal and violent ideation in  people with mental health problems including, but not limited to, their association  with adverse behavioral outcomes, as well as the need to routinely assess both  suicidal and violent ideation in clinical practice.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
