The objective of this study was to forecast suicidal ideation among medical students by examining maladaptive perfectionism, irrational beliefs, and academic burnout. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study encompassed all medical university students in Tehran during the 2022-2023 academic year. A sample of 150 students was selected using Tabachnick and Fidell's formula and the available sampling method. Data collection instruments included the Suicidal Ideation Scale (STS, Mohamadifar et a, 2013), the Maladaptive Perfectionism Scale (MPS, Stoeber & Rambow, 2007), the Irrational Beliefs Test (IBT, Jones, 1986), and the School burnout inventory (SBI, Salmela-Aro & Näätänen, 2005). Multivariate regression analysis was utilized to analyze the data. The results indicated that suicidal ideation among medical students could be predicted by maladaptive perfectionism, academic burnout, and irrational beliefs (p < 0.05), accounting for 36.4% of the variance in suicidal thoughts. The study concludes that maladaptive perfectionism, academic burnout, and irrational beliefs significantly influence suicidal ideation in medical students.
