In this study, we examined the relationship between suicide attempts and low-lethal self-harm behavior in a sample of psychiatric inpatients. Using a cross-sectional approach, we surveyed 107 participants about their histories of suicide attempts, including overdoses, as well as various low-lethal self-harm behaviors. Compared with those without such histories, individuals with histories of suicide attempts, including overdoses, were significantly more likely to report a greater number of: 1) low-lethal self-harm behaviors; 2) specific symptom clusters of self-harm behavior (i.e., self-mutilation, substance abuse, medically self-defeating behaviors); and 3) specific individual self-harm behaviors (e.g., torturing oneself with self-defeating thoughts, abusing prescription medications). These data suggest that suicide attempts and low-lethal self-harm behavior are likely to co-exist in many psychiatric inpatients.
在本研究中，我们在一组精神科住院患者样本中考察了自杀未遂与低致死性自我伤害行为之间的关系。我们采用横断面研究方法，就107名参与者的自杀未遂史（包括过量服药）以及各种低致死性自我伤害行为进行了调查。与没有此类病史的人相比，有自杀未遂史（包括过量服药）的个体更有可能报告更多的以下情况：1）低致死性自我伤害行为；2）自我伤害行为的特定症状群（即自残、药物滥用、医学上的自我挫败行为）；3）特定的个体自我伤害行为（例如，用自我挫败的想法折磨自己、滥用处方药）。这些数据表明，自杀未遂与低致死性自我伤害行为很可能在许多精神科住院患者中共存。
