Introduction: Suicide is the main leading causes of death worldwide. Problem solving skills and hopelessness are known as two important indicators for predicting suicidal thoughts and preventing suicide attempts in depressed patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas in the relationship between problem solving styles and despair in people attempting suicide in Hashminejad Hospital of Mashhad.
Materials and Methods: This research was a descriptive correlational study based on Structural Equation Model. The statistical population of the study included all the people who attempted suicide in Hashminejad Hospital of Mashhad (December to March in 2022); moreover, 201 patients completed the questionnaires after obtaining their consent. The instruments of present research included Yang’s (1998) primary maladaptive schema questionnaire, Beck’s (1974) frustration, and Cassidy and Long’s (1996) problem solving styles. In order to analyze the data in the descriptive statistics section, frequency report, mean and standard deviation were used and path analysis was used to evaluate the hypothetical model by SPSS software version 26 and Amos software version 24.
Results: The results of the Structural Equation Model showed that all the indicators had a good fit in the hypothetical model and the desired model was confirmed. Furthermore, the path coefficients showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between direct paths from problem solving styles to early maladaptive schemas and problem solving style to despaire. However, there was not any significant relationship between the direct path from early maladaptive schemas to despair. Additionally, the indirect coefficients showed that early maladaptive schemas played a mediating role in the relationship between problem solving styles and despair.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the present research, the variable of problem-solving styles plays a role in the interaction with the mediating role of primary incompatible schemas in explaining despair in people attempting to commit suicide. Therefore, problem solving styles can predict suicidal patients’ the level of hopelessness.
