Introduction: Earthquake and people's reaction to it can have long-term psychological consequences. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the structural relationships between earthquake trauma experience and suicidal thoughts with the mediation of mindfulness and rumination.
Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional correlational study. The statistical population of this research included all people over 18 years of age living in Sarpol Zahab city who experienced the November 2017 earthquake. Among them, 320 people were selected using convenience sampling method. To collect data, Traumatic Exposure Severity Scale, The Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation, The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and Ruminative Response Scale were used. For data analysis, Pearson correlation, structural equation modeling and SPSS-26 and AMOS-24 software were used.
Results: The results indicated the fit of the intended model and the experience of earthquake trauma with the mediating role of rumination and mindfulness explained a total of 61% of the variance of suicidal thoughts. The obtained results indicated the indirect effect of the earthquake trauma experience variable on suicidal thoughts through the mediating role of rumination (p<0.05, b=0.51). Also, the obtained results showed the indirect effect of the earthquake trauma experience variable on suicidal thoughts through the mediating role of mindfulness (P < 0.05, b = -0.62).
Conclusions: The findings of this research indicate the importance of mindfulness and rumination structures as an essential clinical concept in preventive and therapeutic interventions related to suicidal thoughts in people with earthquake experience. Future research can take an important step in preventing and treating problems related to suicidal thoughts by adding clinical interventions that aim to pay attention to mindfulness and rumination.
