Objective: This study investigates the correlation between suicidal behavior and various stress factors in a sample of hospitalized adolescents with depression. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 254 adolescent patients with depression from Aug 2022 to May 2024. Participants were assessed using PHQ-11, CTQ-SF, and SSMSS. Results: The suicide group (150 cases) had higher stress levels, more severe childhood trauma, and a higher prevalence of females, alcohol consumption, and lower age compared to the non-suicide group (104 cases). Risk factors included lower age, poor interpersonal relationships, emotional abuse, and alcohol consumption. Conclusion: The study highlights the need to address stress factors and provide psychological support to safeguard adolescents' mental health.
