BACKGROUND
Gender is often related to different life stressors and mental health disorders, but a limited amount of research examines risks of suicidal ideation of probationers by gender.
AIMS
The aim of this study was to examine gender differences in suicidal ideation of probationers.
METHOD
Using a national sample of 3,014 male and 1,306 female probationers with data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2009-2011), multivariate regression analysis was conducted.
RESULTS
Male and female probationers display similar demographic characteristics although their life circumstances and experiences seem different. Female probationers in the study were more likely to experience financial, psychological, and residential stressors than male probationers were. Female probationers were also more likely to have received medical and/or psychiatric treatments. Female probationers were exposed to more suicidal ideation risks than male probationers were. Additionally, no protective factors to suicidal ideation were found for female probationers.
CONCLUSION
The findings suggest that a gender-specific approach to suicidal ideation of probationers may lessen the prevalence of suicidal ideation of this largely neglected population.
背景
性别常与不同的生活压力源及心理健康障碍相关，但仅有有限的研究考察缓刑犯自杀意念风险的性别差异。
目的
本研究旨在考察缓刑犯自杀意念的性别差异。
方法
使用来自全国药物使用和健康调查（2009 - 2011年）的3014名男性和1306名女性缓刑犯的全国样本数据，进行多变量回归分析。
结果
男性和女性缓刑犯虽生活环境和经历不同，但呈现出相似的人口统计学特征。本研究中的女性缓刑犯比男性缓刑犯更易经历经济、心理和居住方面的压力源。女性缓刑犯也更有可能接受过医疗和/或精神治疗。女性缓刑犯比男性缓刑犯面临更多的自杀意念风险。此外，未发现女性缓刑犯存在预防自杀意念的保护因素。
结论
研究结果表明，针对缓刑犯自杀意念采取针对性别的方法可能会降低这一很大程度上被忽视群体的自杀意念发生率。
