BACKGROUND: Maternal suicidal ideation and attempt is a global health concern. The lack of suicide data, particularly among mothers in the perinatal period is concerning and needs to be addressed OBJECTIVE: The study assessed suicidal ideation, attempt, and associated factors during pregnancy and the postpartum period amongst women with known psychiatric diagnoses. METHODS: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among systematic random samples of 379 and a face-to-face interview was used. Suicidal ideation and attempt were assessed by using a composite International diagnostic interview (CIDI). Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 26. Bivariate and multivariate binary logistic analyses were done to identify associated factors to both suicidal ideation and attempt. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant associations. RESULT: Suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt were found to be 37.2 % and 17.9%, respectively. Divorced marital status, unknown monthly income, the presence of adverse life events, the presence of financial conflict and anxiety symptoms were variables associated with suicidal ideation. Marital conflict, lifetime adverse events, low level of social support, daytime sleepiness depression & stress symptoms were factors associated with suicidal attempts. Whereas monthly income and social support were protective factors of suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt respectively.
