Analysis of characteristics among unemployed callers to the psychological support hotline in Beijing
Unemployed callers who are female, aged 19-29 or unmarried/divorced exhibited higher levels of psychological distress and suicide risk. Notably, while callers with a history of psychiatric diagnoses reported lower levels of suicidal ideation, they demonstrated higher levels of hopelessness and depressive symptoms. These findings warrant attention, and hotline services should implement timely identification, psychological support, and targeted interventions to effectively alleviate psychological distress and reduce potential suicide risk in these high-risk groups.
