Objectives: An accurate and easy-to identify form is needed for the early evaluation of suicidal ideation in high-risk patients. Therefore, this study examined the validity and reliability of a Korean version of Ultra-Short Suicidal Ideation Scale (K-USSIS). Methods: A total of one hundred sixty one psychiatric university-affiliation general hospital patients completed K-USSIS. For the data analyses, we used correlation analysis, internal consistency analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: First, the scale had good internal consistency with a Cronbach’s α of 0.94. Second, confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated the reasonable fit of a single-factor model (CFI=0.99, TLI=0.98, SRMR=0.01, RMSEA=0.10). Finally, convergent validity analysis revealed a significant positive correlation with depression, anxiety, and hopelessness. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the K-USSIS has good psychometric properties and can serve as a valuable tool for screening for suicidal ideation and early intervention in Korean psychiatric patients.
