Abstract

Suicide is one of leading causes of death among adolescents around the world, including in Indonesia. Dysfunctional familial relationships are major risk factors for suicidal behavior, and Indonesia’s unique culture and values shape the communication pattern and power dynamics among parents and adolescent children. This school-based longitudinal study aimed to determine the prevalence of suicide attempts and suicidal ideation in urban Jakarta adolescents and to examine the association with family communication pattern. The Family Communication Pattern Questionnaire (FCPQ) and Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) were completed by 531 students from five high schools in Jakarta selected by multistage random sampling. Associations between YRBS and FCPQ responses were analyzed using logistic regression. The YRBS revealed higher prevalence of suicidal ideation (8.1%) and attempt (5.5%) than in previous studies from Indonesia. In contrast to several previous reports, however, family communication pattern was not a strong predictor of suicide attempt by adolescents. Conversation orientation with the mother was a significant predictor of suicidal ideation according to logistic analysis (p<.05). Adolescents reporting suicidal ideation as well as those with a history of suicide attempt should be referred for professional treatment.
