Objective To systematically evaluate the correlation between interpersonal stress and suicidal ideation. Methods The PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were searched to collect studies on the correlation between interpersonal pressure and suicidal ideation from database inception to April 27, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 14.0 software. Results A total of 42 studies including 3 cohort studies, and 39 cross-sectional studies, with a total sample size of 193 810 participants were included. Meta-analysis showed that the risk of suicidal ideation was higher in people who had experienced interpersonal pressure than in people who had not (OR=2.11, 95%CI 1.99 to 2.23, P<0.01). Subgroup analysis showed that people in the Americas who had experienced interpersonal pressure were more strongly associated with suicidal ideation than people in other regions of the studied area. Young adults in the study who had experienced interpersonal pressure were more strongly associated with suicidal ideation than other studied age groups; People who had experienced partner pressure were more strongly associated with suicidal ideation than those who had experienced other types of interpersonal pressure. Conclusion This study shows that people who have experienced interpersonal pressure are at greater risk of suicidal ideation, and there are certain differences among study areas, subjects and types of interpersonal pressure. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
