【Objectives】 The tsunami caused tremendous damage and traumatized several people, including children. Previous reports indicated the suicidal ideation increase in the aftermath of natural disaster. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and the associated factors of suicidal ideation among adolescents after 5 years affected by the 2011 tsunami in Japan. 【methods】 Participants were three hundred and thirty junior high school students in two schools in Ishinomaki city, Miyagi prefecture, Japan. We interviewed participants by using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID) and did self-rating questionnaires such as Depression Self-Rating Scale for children (DSRS-C), Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS) and Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms for Children 15 items (PTSSC-15). We got information from their parents about clinical symptom by using parent-filled questionnaire of Oppositional Defiant Behavior Inventory (ODBI) and social state such as the damage degree of the house, the use and movement experience of the shelter and the current residence situation. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate associated factors with suicidal ideation. 【results】 Thirty-six subjects (10.9%) of 330 participants were met the criteria of Suicidality Module. The number of boys was 13 subjects (36 %), the number of girls was 23 subjects (64%). In logistic regression analysis, the Depression was associated with suicidal ideation (odds ratio: 1.2, 95% confidence interval: 1.086-1.326, p<0.000). Age, Sex, the SCAS score, the PTSSC15 score, the ODBI score, the damage degree of the house, the use and movement experience of the shelter and the current residence situation were not associated with suicidal ideation. 【conclusion】 In our study, the prevalence of suicidal ideation was 10.9% and the associated factors with the suicidal ideation were depressive symptoms. It may be important to care current depressive symptoms. |
