The relationship between suicide attempts and the experience of intimate partner physical violence has been examined in recent literature. The present study extended this literature by examining the relationship between intimate partner rape and suicidal ideation in a sheltered sample of battered women. Fifty women were recruited from a regional shelter setting for battered women in a Midwestern city in the United States. Fifty-eight percent had experienced intimate partner rape. More than one-third of the sample confirmed experiencing suicidal ideation at least "some of the time" within the past week. Experiencing intimate partner rape was significantly associated with suicidal ideation and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Tests of mediation revealed that both PTSD and depressive symptoms mediated the relationship between intimate partner rape and suicidal ideation.
近期文献探讨了自杀未遂与亲密伴侣身体暴力经历之间的关系。本研究通过调查受虐妇女庇护样本中亲密伴侣强奸与自杀意念之间的关系,扩展了这一文献。从美国中西部城市一家为受虐妇女设立的地区庇护所招募了50名女性。58%的人曾经历过亲密伴侣强奸。超过三分之一的样本证实,在过去一周内至少“有时”有自杀意念。经历亲密伴侣强奸与自杀意念、创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状和抑郁显著相关。中介效应检验表明,PTSD和抑郁症状均介导了亲密伴侣强奸与自杀意念之间的关系。
