According to investigations of WHO, suicide is one of the top three chief reasons for the deaths of juveniles. And in China it is the first reason for the deaths of the young people aged from 15 to 34, which is especially evident in college students. At present, the trend of suicide among students is increasing. The suicides of college students are closely related with their psychological health. College students'suicides have become a prominent and sensitive issue for the work of mental health care in colleges, and it has brought bad effect and continuous impact to society, families and individuals. Therefore, this research has studied on factors of college students'trend of suicides, which contributes theoretical value and significant practical meaning to build up a college students'suicides preventative system. On one hand, this research redefines the trend of suicide and enriches the theory of students'psychological health education which altogether contribute to the psychological health of college students and preventative work against the suicides of college students. On the other hand, this research has specific meaning in improving the college students'psychological health.Proceeding from psychology, this research builds up a precautionary system in a comprehensive way by investigation and research on related factors, which will fundamentally reduce the probability of college student suicide. According to related researches, suicides are considered as a result of the interrelated effects of individual psychology, family and social factors. Based on the above purpose and hypothesis, this research analyzes all the factors related to suicides of college students with open questionnaires, talks and a comprehensive study of the former researches in this field. Then a theoretical hypothesis is put forward and a comprehensive questionnaire on the suicidal trends of college students is made. With a trial test of samples and an analysis of the result, the items in the questionnaire are edited, and a comprehensive questionnaire on the suicidal trends of college students is finally made. Together with the EPQ-RSC, the Ego Harmony Questionnaire and the questionnaire on the test of harmonious relationship between college students and the questionnaire of the social adaptability of college students, a comprehensive questionnaire is formed, which is used for 2,466 students aged between 16 to 28 in 5 colleges and universities. With an analysis of the investigation, the following conclusions are made:1) Students with a suicidal tendency vary vastly in schools, sexes, grades, academic achievements, relationship with fellow students, and family structure.2) Students with a suicidal tendency vary vastly in schools.
