This study examined demographic and psychosocial correlates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in women with histories of sexual assault in childhood and/or adulthood identified from a national sample of women. Multivariate analyses showed that women with histories of sexual assault in both childhood and adulthood reported significantly greater odds of lifetime suicide attempts, controlling for demographic factors and other psychosocial characteristics. As predicted, younger age (marginal), stressful life events (marginal), depression, PTSD, and alcohol dependence symptoms were also significantly associated with suicidal ideation. Furthermore, number of lifetime traumatic events and depression were each associated with lifetime odds of suicide attempts. Implications for studying the role of sexual trauma and other psychosocial factors in relation to women's suicidal behavior are discussed.
本研究调查了从全国女性样本中识别出的、有童年期和/或成年期性侵犯史的女性自杀意念和自杀未遂的人口统计学及心理社会相关因素。多变量分析显示，童年期和成年期均有性侵犯史的女性，在控制了人口统计学因素和其他心理社会特征后，报告的终身自杀未遂几率显著更高。如预期的那样，较年轻的年龄（边缘显著）、压力性生活事件（边缘显著）、抑郁、创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和酒精依赖症状也与自杀意念显著相关。此外，终身创伤事件的数量和抑郁各自与终身自杀未遂几率相关。本文讨论了研究性创伤和其他心理社会因素在女性自杀行为中所起作用的意义。
