Self- Compassion and Social Support on Suicidal Ideation among Broken Home University Students

Abstract

Students from broken home families are vulnerable to psychological distress that may trigger suicidal ideation. This study aims to examine the relationship and influence of self-compassion and social support on suicidal ideation among broken home students at Universitas Islam 45 Bekasi. The research employed a quantitative method with a correlational design. A total of 112 students were selected using convenience sampling. Instruments used included the Self-Compassion Scale (α = 0.865), Social Support Scale (α = 0.943), and the Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (ASIQ) (α = 0.955). Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression. Results showed a significant negative correlation between self-compassion (r = -0.249; p = 0.008) and social support (r = -0.336; p = 0.000) with suicidal ideation. Simultaneously, both variables accounted for a 26.6% reduction in suicidal ideation (R² = 0.266; F (2,109) = 19.732; p = 0.000).
