Little is known about the role of chronic stress in youth suicidal behaviors. This study examined the relations between specific domains of chronic stress and suicidal behaviors among 131 inpatient youth (M age = 15.02 years) who completed measures of stress, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and suicide intent. After controlling for demographics, diagnostic status, past history of attempt, and life event stress, the predictors of suicidal ideation were chronic stress in family relationships, close friendship, and physical health. Chronic close friendship stress also predicted suicide intent among attempters after controlling for covariates. No domain robustly predicted the presence of an attempt or moderated the relation between life event stress and suicidal behaviors. These findings highlight the role of certain domains of chronic stress in suicidal ideation and suicide intent.
人们对慢性压力在青少年自杀行为中的作用知之甚少。本研究考察了 131 名住院青少年（平均年龄=15.02 岁）在完成压力、自杀意念、自杀尝试和自杀意图测量后，特定慢性压力领域与自杀行为之间的关系。在控制人口统计学、诊断状况、既往尝试史和生活事件压力后，自杀意念的预测因子是家庭关系、亲密友谊和身体健康方面的慢性压力。在控制协变量后，慢性亲密友谊压力也预测了尝试者的自杀意图。没有一个领域能够很好地预测尝试的发生，也没有调节生活事件压力与自杀行为之间的关系。这些发现强调了某些慢性压力领域在自杀意念和自杀意图中的作用。
