Change in Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS) score
Zeitfenster: Pre-intervention - baseline (T1), post-intervention - at completion of 6 weekly sessions (T2), and at 6 week follow-up (T3)
|
The BSS is a self-report 19-item scale preceded by five screening items.
The BSS and its screening items are intended to assess a patient's thoughts, plans and intent to commit suicide.
All 24 items are rated on a three-point scale (0 to 2) total scores could range from 0 to 48.
No specific cut-off scores exist to classify severity or guide patient management.
Increasing scores reflect greater suicide risk, and any positive response merits investigation.
