OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the possible interaction between religious beliefs and psychiatric disorders among Black Americans.
METHODS
In this study, we used data of 5181 adult Black Americans who had participated in National Survey of American Life (NSAL) from February 2001 to June 2003. Variables such as socio-demographics, religious beliefs, and psychiatric disorders were entered in a Cox regression to determine the possible interaction between psychiatric disorders (0, 1, ≥2) and the subjective religiosity on age of onset of suicidal thought among the participants. Main outcome was age of the first serious suicidal ideation.
RESULTS
A dose-dependent effect of number of psychiatric disorders on suicidal ideation was observed. Psychiatric disorders had a higher impact on age of suicidal ideation among those with low self-reported religiosity.
CONCLUSION
Religious beliefs may buffer the effect of psychiatric disorders on suicidal thought. Blacks who are less religious and suffer psychiatric disorders are at the highest risk for early suicidal ideation.
目的
评估美国黑人宗教信仰与精神疾病之间可能存在的相互作用。
方法
在本研究中，我们使用了2001年2月至2003年6月参加美国生活全国调查（NSAL）的5181名成年美国黑人的数据。将社会人口统计学、宗教信仰和精神疾病等变量纳入Cox回归，以确定精神疾病（0、1、≥2）与参与者自杀念头开始年龄的主观宗教信仰之间可能存在的相互作用。主要结果是首次出现严重自杀念头的年龄。
结果
观察到精神疾病数量对自杀念头有剂量依赖性影响。在自我报告宗教信仰较低的人群中，精神疾病对自杀念头出现年龄的影响更大。
结论
宗教信仰可能缓冲精神疾病对自杀念头的影响。宗教信仰较少且患有精神疾病的黑人出现早期自杀念头的风险最高。
