SP - 109 EP - 121 VL - 43 IS - 1 N2 - According to the WHO, about 800,000 people die from suicide each year, and 79% of suicides occur in low-and middle-income countries. However, suicide is a potentially preventable outcome. It is very important for prevention programs to identify not only risk factors associated with suicide (socio-demographic data, clinical variables), but also resilience factors that act as protection against suicide attempts. One of the tools for assessing such factors is the "Reasons for Living Inventory" -- ​48 cognitive reasons (items) not to commit suicide should such thoughts arise. The aim of this study is to determine and verify the factor structure of the Inventory in Russian clinical sample. The study involved 504 patients with non-psychotic mental disorders aged 18 to 82 years (median age -- ​27 years, interquartile range -- ​21, 305 women, 199 men) who were hos-pitalized at the Moscow Research and Clinical Centre For Neuropsychiatry. The principal component analysis was used as a statistical method to identify relationships between variables.

RESULTS of factor analysis al-lowed us to reveal a 7-factor model of the Inventory, which explained 62.9% of the variance -- ​this structure is almost completely consistent with the original 6-factor model, with the exception of the "fear of suicide" subscale, divided into two subscales -- ​one directly related to the fear of suicide, and another, which could be called "fear of failures". The importance of isolating the latter requires further evaluation. The study showed the consistency and reliability of the Russian-language version of the RFLI when used in people with non-psychotic mental disorders. © 2022 The authors.
