Background: Suicidal behavior is one of the fundamental strains in the area of
mental health. One of the most considerable suicidal behaviors is the suicidal
ideation which is an important predictor for suicide completion. This study
has conducted the role of borderline personality disorder, impulsivity, and
excitement-oriented coping style in predicting soldiers’ suicidal ideation.
Materials and Methods: A total of 1,659 soldiers were selected through
multi-level cluster sampling method. Data were collected using Beck Suicide
Ideation Scale (BSSI), the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-III),
UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale, and Coping Style Questionnaire (CSQ).
Results: The result has indicated that not only the borderline personality
disorder directly affects the suicidal ideation but it could also have a role in
predicting the suicidal ideation via the way of directly influencing the other
variants. The findings resulting from the method analysis are indicative of
the intermediary role of excitement-oriented coping style and impulsivity
regarding the relationship between the borderline personality disorder and
suicidal ideation.
Conclusion: Therefore, the research findings exhibited that the relationship
between the borderline personality disorder and the suicidal ideation could be
more precisely and comprehensively explained via the intermediary variants
such as the excitement-oriented coping style and impulsivity. Screening and
identifying soldiers through diagnosing the borderline personality disorder
and hyper impulsivity and also those individuals more frequently using the
excitement-oriented coping style are effective for the purpose of restricting
access to weapons in prevention of suicide attempt.
