Abstract

Previousresearch has found that stigma tends to impair help-seeking intention in a suicidal crisis for university students across the globe. Yet very little research has investigated how suicide-specific stigma affects help-seeking intention in a suicidal crisis amonguniversity students in the Indonesian context. This research examines the adverse relationship between suicide stigmaand help-seeking intention. A total of 284 university students in Jakarta, aged 18–24 years (M= 20.14, SD = 1.18), participatedin the study.Linear regression analysis demonstrated that suicide stigma positivelycontributes to the intention to seek help from both formal and non-formal sources. These resultscontradictprevious findings, possibly due to the unique culture in Indonesia.Theoretical and practical implications are discussed for Indonesian suicideprevention efforts.

Bahasa Abstract

Banyak penelitian telah menemukan bahwa stigma menghambat niatan pencarian bantuan di masa bunuh diri pada mahasiswa dari berbagai belahan dunia. Hanya sedikit riset di Indonesia yang membahas mengenai bagaimana stigma spesifik bunuh diri mempengaruhi niatan pencarian bantuan pada mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki kontribusi stigma bunuh diri terhadap niatan pencarian bantuan. Mahasiswa sarjana di Jakarta (N=284), berusia 18 hingga 24 tahun (M = 20,14, SD = 1,18), berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Analisis regresi linear menunjukkan bahwa stigma bunuh diri berkontribusi positif terhadap niatan pencarian bantuan formal dan non-formal pada mahasiswa universitas di Jakarta. Hasil studi ini berlawanan dengan penemuan sebelumnya, dikarenakan adanya budaya yang khas di Indonesia. Implikasi teoretis dan praktis dibahas untuk upaya pencegahan bunuh diri di Indonesia.
