The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) helps you measure 3 major aspects of hopelessness:
-
Feelings about the future
-
Loss of motivation
-
Expectations.
It is designed to measure an individual's attitudes about their long-term future and consists of 20 true/false items with patients either endorsing a pessimistic statement or denying an optimistic statement. The BHS acts as a powerful predictor of suicidal intent.
