Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals barriers affecting help-seeking intentions for suicidal ideation among undergraduates, suggesting implications for psychosocial interventions.

Key Points

  • Help-seeking intentions for suicidal ideation were significantly influenced by age and family type, indicating needs for targeted strategies.
  • Over half of the participants showed a strong likelihood of seeking help from traditional healers, while fear of criticism was a common barrier.
  • Cross-sectional analysis involved 422 undergraduate students, utilizing a general help-seeking questionnaire to assess intentions.
  • Psychosocial interventions in educational settings may mitigate stigma and enhance support for students facing suicidal ideation challenges.
