- Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the validity and the realibility of Suicide Probability Scale (SPS) developed by Cull and Gill to aid in the assessment of suicide risk in adolescent and adults, in clinical sample. Method: 428 subjects (272 women, 156 men) were included in the study. Patients (n=217) were recruited from inpatients and outpatients followed up in the clinic of a university hospital. Controls (n=211) were recruited from the general population. All the subjects gave informed consent. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Cronbach Reliability analysis, Pearson moment products correlation coefficients and t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported the validity of factor structure of SPS which was obtained in the original study. The results of Cronbach Realibility analysis demonstrated high internal consistency and split-half reliabilities confirmed the reliability of the scale. The total score of the SPS were correlated significantly with the scales of Beck Depression Scale, Beck Hopelessness Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale scores as expected. Also the findings showed that SPS differentiated suicide attempters with controls and also the groups which have suicide ideation with which do not. The cut off point was 110 for both psychiatric patients and controls. Conclusion: The findings showed SPS is a valid and reliable measure for clinical samples in Turkey.
