Eligible patients met the 1987 ACR classification criteria for RA. Suicidal ideation was assessed through structured psychiatric interviews. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction were evaluated using the PHQ-9, HAM-A, ISI, and ASEX, respectively, while QoL was measured with the EQ-5D-5L. Correlation analyses and structural equation modeling (SEM) explored interrelationships among psychiatric disturbances. Multivariable regression was applied to identify predictors of suicidal ideation, psychiatric symptoms, and QoL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 187 participants (mean age 56.9\u2009\u00b1\u200912.7 years; 84.0% female), 13.4% reported suicidal ideation. Anxious (45.5%), insomnia (48.1%) and depressive symptoms (28.3%) were highly common, and depressive, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms were strongly interrelated (e.g., r\u2009=\u20090.74\u20130.80). The mean EQ-5D-5L index value was 0.6\u2009\u00b1\u20090.2, indicating moderate impairment in overall QoL. SEM confirmed high correlation between psychiatric (DEP, ANX) and behavioral (SLP, SEX) disturbances. Multivariable analysis showed that high disease activity, joint deformity, and treatment-related adverse effects were consistently associated with suicidal ideation, psychiatric symptoms, and impaired QoL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Suicidal ideation and other psychiatric disturbances are commonly observedamong patients with RA in Vietnam.
