Abstract
FARAJ, Razaw Nury Hama. Gender disparities in suicidal ideation among university students: A quantitative study. PsychTech [online]. 2023, vol.7, n.1, pp.24-29. Epub Sep 30, 2023. ISSN 2184-1004. https://doi.org/10.26580/pthj.art55-2023.
This study investigated gender-based differences in suicidal ideation among Koya University students. A total of 209 students participated in the study, comprising 104 females and 105 males. A scale for suicidal ideation was adopted to answer the research questions. The research was conducted using a quantitative survey design, and a non-random sampling technique (convenience sampling) was employed to collect the sample. The results indicated a statistically significant difference between males and females regarding suicidal ideation, with a higher prevalence among female students. These findings provide important insights into the issue of suicide among university students in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
