Abstract   (1866 Views)
Aims: Military service is a significant transitional period often characterized by unique psychological and environmental challenges. This study investigated the relationships between suicidal ideation, mindfulness, and sensory processing patterns in soldiers.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 soldiers, assessing their sensory processing patterns, mindfulness, and suicidal ideation using standardized questionnaires and scales. Regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of suicidal ideation.
Findings: Sensory sensitivity (B=-0.068, p=0.024) and the non-judging facet of mindfulness (B=0.069, p=0.040) significantly predicted suicidal ideation in soldiers. Higher sensory sensitivity was linked to lower levels of suicidal ideation, while non-judging was associated with increased ideation. Other sensory processing patterns and aspects of mindfulness did not significantly predict suicidal ideation. The regression model explained a modest proportion of the variance in suicidal ideation (R²=0.071).
Conclusion: Sensory sensitivity and the non-judging facet of mindfulness predict suicidal ideation among soldiers.
