摘要
Suicidal ideation (SI) is a highly prevalent public health issue in the veteran population and is increasingly common in veterans who are diagnosed with other mental health conditions, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 2020). The present study has an initial aim of examining changes in SI over treatment, and it is hypothesized that SI will decrease across PTSD treatments. A second aim is to examine the association of SI status with PTSD symptoms across treatment, and it is hypothesized that PTSD symptomatology will decrease at similar rates over the course of treatment for those who did and did not endorse SI at pretreatment. Participants included 717 (86.3% male) veterans who participated in outpatient treatment within a Veterans Affairs Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (VA PTSD) specialty clinic between July 2014 and December 2017. Descriptive analyses found that 37.2% of veterans endorsed SI at pretreatment, while 18.6% endorsed SI at posttreatment. The relationship between pre- and posttreatment SI was significant, chi(2)(1, N = 247) = 23.77, p < .001. A significant proportion of veterans who endorsed SI at pretreatment no longer endorsed SI at posttreatment (64.7%). There were no differences in changes in PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) scores across treatment for those with and without SI at pretreatment. While those who endorsed SI at pretreatment had higher PCL-5 scores throughout treatment, they experienced a similar rate of improvement in symptoms as those without SI at pretreatment. This finding suggests that the presence of SI does not reduce the effectiveness of PTSD treatment. Limitations include the use of a single-item measure of SI, lack of adequate power to detect difference among treatments, and a cross-sectional design. Clinical and research implications are discussed.
