Disrupted social connectedness is associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors among individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs). The current study sought to further characterize this relationship by examining several indices of social connectedness--(a) living alone, (b) perceived social support, (c) interpersonal conflict, and (d) belongingness. Participants (n = 814) were recruited from 4 residential substance-use treatment programs and completed self-report measures of social connectedness as well as whether they had ever thought about or attempted suicide. Multivariate results indicated that interpersonal conflict and belongingness were significant predictors of a history of suicidal ideation, and that belongingness, perceived social support, and living alone were significant predictors of suicide attempt. These results indicate the most consistent support for the relationship between suicidality and thwarted belongingness, and also support the clinical utility of assessing whether individuals live alone.
社交孤立与物质使用障碍(SUD)个体的自杀意念和行为有关。本研究通过考察社交孤立的几个指标来进一步描述这种关系:(a)独居,(b)感知到的社会支持,(c)人际冲突,以及(d)归属感。参与者(n=814)从 4 个住院物质使用治疗项目中招募,并完成了社交孤立的自我报告测量,以及他们是否曾经有过自杀念头或尝试过自杀。多变量结果表明,人际冲突和归属感是自杀意念史的显著预测因素,归属感、感知到的社会支持和独居是自杀企图的显著预测因素。这些结果表明,社交孤立与自杀意念之间的关系最一致,也支持评估个体是否独居的临床实用性。
