Although research has shown positive associations among post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation, the nature of these relations is unclear, especially in African American women. This study examined the associations among these comorbid psychological difficulties in a sample of 136 low-income, African American women. Specifically, the goal of this investigation was to ascertain if overall depressive symptoms, as well as both the cognitive-affective and somatic components of depression, mediated the PTSD-suicidal ideation link. Results from bootstrapping analyses revealed that overall depressive symptoms and the cognitive-affective components of depression, but not the somatic components, mediated the PTSD-suicidal ideation link.
尽管研究表明创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）、抑郁症状和自杀意念之间存在正相关，但这些关系的本质尚不清楚，尤其是在非裔美国女性中。本研究在136名低收入非裔美国女性样本中考察了这些共病心理问题之间的关联。具体而言，本调查的目的是确定总体抑郁症状以及抑郁的认知情感和躯体成分是否介导了PTSD与自杀意念之间的联系。自抽样分析结果显示，总体抑郁症状和抑郁的认知情感成分而非躯体成分介导了PTSD与自杀意念之间的联系。
