Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between gender and suicidal ideation as well as to identify the correlation between age and suicidal ideation among university students. Other than that, this study also aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, and stress with suicidal thought. Research had been conducted includes all the faculty located in Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). This study adopted a quantitative method and a total of 377 undergraduate students were selected as the participants of this research. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the descriptive statistics and inferential statistics based on this study. There were three types of analysis that were used in analyzing the collection of data which was known as the Chi-Square test, Pearson's correlation test, and multiple regression test. Findings showed that gender did not affect the occurrence of suicidal ideation. In addition, suicidal ideation was not found to be significant among young adults in UNIMAS. The findings also revealed that only depression and anxiety were significantly related to the suicidal ideation and can be used as the predictors for suicidal ideation to occur. However, stress was not significantly related to the suicidal ideation and it cannot be one of the predictors.
