Research has demonstrated an association between intimate partner abuse and suicidality, presenting a serious mental health issue. However, studies have differed widely in the samples and methods employed, and in the depth of the investigation. Given the level of heterogeneity in the literature, this systematic review examines, for the first time, the nature of the relationship between intimate partner abuse and suicidality. The three main psychological and medical databases (PsychInfo 1887-March 2011; Medline, 1966-March 2011; Web of Knowledge 1981-March 2011) were searched. Thirty-seven papers on the topic of intimate partner abuse and suicidality were found. With only one exception, all of the studies found a strong and consistent association between intimate partner abuse and suicidality. Significantly, this relationship held irrespective of study design, sample and measurement of abuse and suicidality, thus demonstrating a consistently strong relationship between intimate partner abuse and suicidality. This review highlights that intimate partner abuse is a significant risk factor for suicidal thoughts and behaviours, which has important clinical implications.
研究表明，亲密伴侣虐待与自杀意念之间存在关联，这是一个严重的心理健康问题。然而，研究在样本和方法的使用以及调查的深度上存在很大差异。鉴于文献中存在很大的异质性，本系统综述首次检查了亲密伴侣虐待与自杀意念之间关系的本质。检索了三个主要的心理和医学数据库（PsychInfo 1887 年至 2011 年 3 月；Medline，1966 年至 2011 年 3 月；Web of Knowledge，1981 年至 2011 年 3 月）。共发现了 37 篇关于亲密伴侣虐待和自杀意念的论文。除了一篇之外，所有的研究都发现亲密伴侣虐待与自杀意念之间存在强烈而一致的关联。重要的是，这种关系不受研究设计、虐待和自杀意念的样本和测量的影响，因此证明了亲密伴侣虐待与自杀意念之间存在一致的强烈关系。本综述强调了亲密伴侣虐待是自杀意念和行为的重要危险因素，这具有重要的临床意义。
