This study examined the relationship between three types of social support and suicidal ideation and lifetime attempts among a national sample of ethnically diverse sexual minority women (SMW). Participants ( = 150) completed measures of social support and suicidal ideation/attempts. After controlling for socioeconomic status, social support explained 12.3% of the variance in past suicidal ideation and 10.7% in lifetime suicide attempts. Social support from family and significant other were both inversely associated with suicidal ideation, and social support from family inversely with lifetime attempts. Interventions that strengthen family relationships could be a buffer of suicidality in this population.
本研究调查了全国范围内不同种族性少数女性(SMW)样本中三种社会支持类型与自杀意念及终生自杀未遂之间的关系。参与者(n = 150)完成了社会支持及自杀意念/未遂的测量。在控制社会经济地位后,社会支持解释了过去自杀意念变异的12.3%以及终生自杀未遂变异的10.7%。来自家庭和重要他人的社会支持均与自杀意念呈负相关,来自家庭的社会支持与终生自杀未遂呈负相关。加强家庭关系的干预措施可能是该人群自杀行为的一个缓冲因素。
