Abstract This article aims to examine differences in suicidal narrative and suicide crisis syndrome symptoms, and suicidal ideation among those who maintained, lost, and gained employment or student status during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a cross-sectional study based on an online and anonymous self-report questionnaire. Participants were recruited through social media platforms between November 2020 and October 2021. Changes in occupational status were assessed in 2,259 individuals. The sample was divided into four groups according to work (full-time/part-time) and study status (1) maintained, (2) lost, (3) gained, and (4) unemployed. Suicide outcomes were investigated by the Suicidal Narrative Inventory, Suicide Crisis Inventory, and Columbia - Suicide Severity Rating Scale Screener version. Changes in occupational status influenced symptoms of the suicide crisis syndrome and suicidal narrative, but not suicidal ideation. Those who maintained their work, such as full-time/part-time scored lower on the total scores of the Suicidal Narrative Inventory and Suicide Crisis Inventory-2 compared to those who lost their employed status and unemployed. Our findings suggest that it is appropriate to consider changes in employed status as a mental health risk factor during pandemics.

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é examinar diferenças nos sintomas da narrativa suicida e da síndrome de crise de suicídio e ideação suicida entre aqueles que mantiveram, perderam e ganharam emprego ou status educacional durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Trata-se de um estudo transversal baseado em um questionário online. Os indivíduos foram recrutados por meio de plataformas de mídia social entre novembro de 2020 e outubro de 2021. As mudanças no status ocupacional foram avaliadas em 2.259 indivíduos. A amostra foi dividida em grupos de acordo com as mudanças do status ocupacional: (1) aqueles que mantiveram, (2) aqueles que perderam, (3) aqueles que ganharam e (4) desempregados. Desfechos suicidas foram avaliados através do Inventário da Narrativa Suicida, Inventário da Crise Suicida e Columbia - Escala de Classificação da Gravidade do Suicídio. Mudanças no status ocupacional influenciaram sintomas da síndrome de crise de suicídio e narrativa suicida, mas não a ideação suicida. Aqueles que mantiveram seu emprego apresentaram menos sintomas de narrativa suicida e síndrome de crise de suicídio, comparados aos que perderam o emprego e aos desempregados. Esses achados sugerem que é apropriado considerar mudanças no status ocupacional como fator de risco para saúde mental durante pandemias.

Objective: To test the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Brazilian version of the Abbreviated Suicidal Narrative Inventory (SNI-38). Methods: We used an anonymous online questionnaire of the SNI-38 and self-report measures administered between November 2020 and October 2021 in the Brazilian community. Participants were recruited through social media advertisements. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to test the factor structure of the SNI-38. In addition, we assessed internal consistency and convergent validity against stressful life events, suicide crisis syndrome, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. Results: A total of 2,660 participants were included. The eight-factor model of the SNI-38 had a good model fit (χ2[637] = 7,473.98, p < 0.001, comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.99, Tucker-Lewis index [TLI] = 0.99, root mean squared error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.07, standardized root mean residual [SRMR] = 0.06). Notably, all items were significantly and positively loaded onto their respective factors (factor loadings ≥ 0.45). The reliability of all subscales except for goal disengagement ranged from good to high. Furthermore, all subscales except goal disengagement showed positive correlations with variables such as suicide crisis syndrome, stressful life events, lifetime/past month suicidal ideation, and lifetime suicide attempts. Conclusion: These findings provide preliminary support for the validity of the Brazilian version of the SNI-38 as an appropriate, valid instrument for measuring suicidal narratives in Brazilian individuals.
