Psychosocial risks and protective factors of suicidal behaviors among youths in Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Belitung nursing journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Youth suicidal behavior is a critical public health concern worldwide. Addressing suicidal behaviors among youth is essential; however, limited research has explored the complex relationships between psychosocial risk and protective factors influencing suicidal behavior in Saudi youth, especially within their unique cultural and religious context. Bridging this gap is vital for developing culturally sensitive prevention strategies. Objective: This study aimed to investigate psychosocial risk and protective factors associated with suicidal behaviors among Saudi youth. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from May to August 2024 with 400 university students. Data were collected using standardized and validated instruments. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests to explore demographic associations with suicide risk, correlation matrices, a suicide heatmap to visualize factor interrelations, scatterplots, and multiple linear regression to identify significant predictors. Results: Findings showed that 11.8% of youth were classified as at suicidal risk. Suicide risk behavior correlated positively with life stressors ( Conclusions: Although suicide prevalence among Saudi youth is relatively low, a significant minority remains at risk, particularly those experiencing family problems, low income, and who have no friends. Life stressors and unmet interpersonal needs are major risk factors. These findings emphasize the vital role of nursing practice in suicide prevention through routine screening, counseling, stress management, and fostering social support. Integrating these strategies in academic and community settings can enhance mental health outcomes and reduce suicide risk among Saudi youth.
