OBJECTIVES: The perception of being a burden or self-perceived burden (SPB) is associated with suicide ideation in @entity1118 @entity1 (CPPs). The objective of this study was to determine if SPB is associated with five types of suicidality (wish to die, active suicide ideation, presence of suicide plan, history of suicide attempts, and preference for @entity204 over being disabled) in CPPs and acute @entity158 @entity1 (APPs). METHODS: Affirmation of SPB was statistically compared between community nonpatients without @entity158 (CNPWP), APPs, and CPPs. APPs and CPPs who had affirmed any of the five types of suicidality were compared statistically for affirmation of SPB. Hierarchical regression analysis was utilized to determine the significance of SPB in predicting each of the five types of suicidality in APPs and CPPs controlling for age, gender, race, education status, and two types of measures of @entity308 (current @entity308 ). RESULTS: APPs and CPPs were statistically more likely to affirm SPB than CNPWPs and CPPs were more likely than APPs to do so. There were no differences between APPs and CPPs in affirming SPB in APPs and CPPs who had affirmed any of the five types of suicidality. In CPPs, SPB predicted each type of suicidality in a significant fashion utilizing both types of @entity308 measures. For APPs, SPB predicted each type of suicidality in a significant fashion except for history of suicide attempt controlling for vegetative @entity308 . CONCLUSIONS: SPB is associated with the vast majority of different types of suicidality in APPs and CPPs.
