Abstract: Objective To investigate the rate of suicidal ideation among medical students and the influencing factors, so as to provide theoretical basis for psychological intervention. Methods From May to June 2020, 749 students from various medical colleges and universities were selected by random cluster sampling method and surveyed online with a self-developed Basic Situation Questionnaire and Chinese version of Beck Suicide Ideation Scale. A total of 686 complete and valid questionnaires were collected. The detection of suicidal ideation, protective factors and risk factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Suicidal ideation was detected in 62(9.038%)medical students, and there was no statistical significance between genders(P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences in the detection rate among variables such as family type, degree of family harmony, relationship with parents, parental divorce or separation, and occurrence of negative events(P<0.05). The average score of students with suicidal ideation was 9.11±4.09, and there was no significant difference in the scores between genders(P>0.05). However, there were significant differences in the scores of variables such as place of residence, mothers educational level, social relations, availability of help during psychological distress, and presence of severe chronic diseases(P<0.05). Binary classification Logistic regression showed that incomplete family type (OR=1.474, P<0.05), unavailability of help during psychological distress(OR=4.269, P<0.05), and chronic diseases(OR=1.989, P<0.05)were risk factors for suicidal ideation. Multiple linear regression showed that residence in rural areas, mother with low education level, severe chronic diseases, and perfectionism affected the scores of suicidal ideation. Conclusion The detection rate of suicidal ideation in medical students in this study is lower than that in previous studies; however, due attention is needed for the psychological intervention aiming at risk factors.
