    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Turk, Nuri; Arslan, Gokmen; Kaya, Alican; Guc, Ebru; Turan, Mehmet Emin
    Background: Mental health problems are currently diversifying, increasing the possibility of suicide. Exposure to psychological maltreatment is one of the factors that increases suicidal cognitions. In addition, psychological flexibility and meaning-centered approaches may be effective in coping with suicidal cognitions. Objective: A hypothesized model was tested to examine the relationships among psychological maltreatment, suicidal cognitions, psychological flexibility, and meaning-centered coping. Method: Data were collected from a sample of 652 participants. Mediation and moderation analyses were conducted to examine the mediating and moderating role of psychological flexibility and meaning-centered coping in the relationship between childhood psychological maltreatment and suicide cognitions among Turkish adults. Results: The results of the study indicated significant negative and positive relationships between psychological maltreatment, suicide cognitions, psychological flexibility, and meaning-centered coping. The findings suggest that psychological flexibility and meaning-centered coping have a serial mediating effect on the relationship between psychological maltreatment and suicide cognitions. Furthermore, according to the study results, psychological flexibility plays a moderating role both between psychological maltreatment and suicidal cognitions and between meaning-centered coping and suicidal cognitions. Conclusions: The study suggests that psychological maltreatment can be considered as a risk factor and meaning-centered coping and psychological flexibility as protective factors in suicide prevention studies.

    Psychological vulnerability, emotional problems, and quality-of-life: Validation of the brief suicide cognitions scale for Turkish college students
    (Springer, 2024) Arslan, Gokmen; Turk, Nuri; Kaya, Alican
    The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Brief Suicide Cognitions Scale (BSCS-T) and to explore the mediating role of emotional problems in the relationship between psychological vulnerability and suicide cognitions and quality of life among Turkish young adults. Participants were 418 students in Turkiye. The sample included 181 female (43.3%) and 237 male (56.7%) students aged 18-35 years (mean = 22.86, SD = 3.03). The results provided evidence to support the use of the BSCS-T as a means of identifying young people at high risk of suicide. Furthermore, the results showed that psychological vulnerability significantly and positively predicted emotional problems and suicidal cognitions among college students. In addition, psychological vulnerability negatively predicted students' quality of life, and emotional problems played a mediating role between psychological vulnerability and both suicide cognitions and quality of life. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to reduce suicide risk and improve psychological well-being. Further research in this area can contribute to suicide prevention efforts and the development of effective strategies to support at-risk individuals in college settings.
