Childhood maltreatment is a well-known risk factor for depression and suicidal behavior, yet its specific contribution among migrant psychiatric patients remains insufficiently explored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study examined the associations between different forms of childhood maltreatment, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation in migrant inpatients, and tested whether depression mediates these relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this cross-sectional bi-center study, 102 migrant inpatients hospitalized in two university psychiatric units in Rome were assessed using structured interviews. Childhood maltreatment was evaluated with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), depressive symptoms with the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and suicidal ideation with the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). Group differences by continent of origin were analyzed using ANOVAs, while Pearson correlations examined associations among variables. Mediation models tested whether depressive symptoms mediated the link between childhood maltreatment and suicidal ideation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Over one-third of participants reported recent suicidal ideation, and depressive symptoms were in the moderate range. Migrants from Asia showed higher suicidal ideation compared to Europeans, while participants from the Americas reported more severe depressive symptoms. All forms of childhood maltreatment were intercorrelated and significantly associated with both depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation.
