| Resumo: | This study investigates the relationship between risk and protective factors and suicidal ideation among teachers, a group often overlooked in suicide prevention efforts. Using the diathesis-stress model as a partial framework, the research explores how depression and anxiety, as risk factors, and emotional intelligence, resilience, and positive thoughts, as protective factors, influence suicidal ideation. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 1,270 Spanish teachers (median age: 46, 70.2% female). Key measures included the Positive and Negative Suicidal Ideation scale (PANSI), the Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale (BEIS-10), the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) for resilience, and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) for depression and anxiety. A network approach was used to examine the relationships between these variables. Results showed that depression had a stronger relationship with negative ideation than anxiety, while emotional intelligence and positive thoughts acted as protective factors. Positive ideation was negatively associated with depression and anxiety, and positively linked to emotional intelligence and resilience. Emotional intelligence emerged as the most critical protective factor. These findings provide valuable evidence to inform the development of emotional management and resilience-building programs aimed at enhancing teachers' mental health and performance, which could also indirectly benefit students. |
