BACKGROUND: Suicide has been rarely studied among @entity454 ( @entity454 ) @entity1 . The purpose of this study is to assess the frequency of suicidal thoughts, plans, and attempts among @entity454 @entity1 including the interactions among suicidal behavior, the level of social support, and satisfaction with life. @entity1 AND METHODS: The study group, of medically stable kidney recipients, including 20 @entity1 and 20 @entity1 had a mean 121.81 +/- 72.72-months follow-up for @entity454 . All @entity1 were administered a questionnaire including demographic and clinical characteristics; specific questions about psychiatry consultations, as well as questions about suicidal thoughts, plans, and attempts before and after transplantation. @entity1 responses were confirmed by chart reviews; inconsistencies were clarified with the @entity1 . Additionally, all @entity1 completed a validated Turkish version of two self-report scales, @entity2653 ( @entity2653 ) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). RESULTS: In total, psychiatrists assessed 19 @entity454 @entity1 , including all suicidal @entity1 . Eight @entity1 reported "suicidal thoughts-plans," including two attempts. MSPSS results revealed that a history of @entity146 consultation (P <.05) and "suicidal thoughts-plans," (P <.05) significantly correlated with lower MSPSS scores. MSPSS scores were correlated with @entity2653 (P <.05). Of all @entity1 , six reported "suicidal thoughts-plans," including one suicide attempt prior to transplantation. Of six @entity1 , one was married and five were not (P <.05). Among the three @entity1 who reported suicidal thoughts-plans in the posttransplantation period, two, including one attempter, were new cases. CONCLUSIONS: High rates of suicidal thoughts-plans and attempts were found among our @entity454 @entity1 . The probability of suicidal behavior significantly increased among recipients that were single or divorced; whose satisfaction with life was decreased; and who perceived their family, friends, and significant others to be less supportive. More detailed prospective studies on suicide are needed for better care of @entity454 @entity1 .
