- 00:00Hello, my name is Madison,
- 00:02and today I'll be talking about my poster
- 00:04called The Role of Social Support and
- 00:06Loneliness in the Relationship Between
- 00:09borderline personality disorder and
- 00:10suicide risk among Incarcerated Adults.
- 00:14UPD is a mental disorder that
- 00:16is very over represented within
- 00:18the criminal justice system.
- 00:20Oftentimes, it's associated with severe
- 00:22parasuicidal or suicidal behavior.
- 00:24The suicidal behavior presents a management
- 00:26concern within jails and prisons.
- 00:28This highlights the importance of
- 00:30understanding mechanisms that increase
- 00:32suicide risk for incarcerated people.
- 00:34With BPD, prior research has identified
- 00:36interpersonal factors such as lack
- 00:38of perceived social support and
- 00:40loneliness as contributors to suicidal
- 00:42behavior among non incarcerated.
- 00:44People with BPD This study seeks
- 00:47to examine this relationship among
- 00:50people who are incarcerated.
- 00:52We had 184 people who participated
- 00:54in our study and they were all asked
- 00:57to complete a structured interview
- 00:59for the DSM 4 Access to Disorders,
- 01:02the Beck Scale for suicidal Ideation,
- 01:04the Multidimensional scale for
- 01:05Perceived Social support,
- 01:06and the UCLA Loneliness Scale.
- 01:08You can see here that all of
- 01:10our variables were correlated.
- 01:12We had a total of 69 people who
- 01:15met criteria for BPD and then below
- 01:18you can see other descriptive
- 01:20statistics for our sample.
- 01:22The first model that examined the
- 01:25mediating effect of social support in
- 01:27their relationship between BPD diagnosis
- 01:29and suicidal ideation was significant,
- 01:32and the model looking at the mediating
- 01:35effect of loneliness in the relationship
- 01:37between BPD diagnosis and pseudo
- 01:40suicidal ideation was also significant.
- 01:42This indicates that individuals with
- 01:44BPD who are incarcerated could benefit
- 01:46from interventions that address
- 01:48interpersonal relationships and loneliness.
- 01:50These interventions may help to reduce
- 01:53suicidal or parasuicidal behaviors among
- 01:55individuals with BPD who are incarcerated.
- 01:58Future research should examine
- 01:59other mechanisms to the relationship
- 02:01between BPD and suicide among
- 02:03individuals who are incarcerated.
- 02:05Thank you.
