Psychological inflexibility, or how individuals respond to distressing internal experiences, may be a modifiable risk factor for suicide in veterans. It was hypothesized that psychological inflexibility would predict suicidal ideation after accounting for established risk factors at baseline and 1 year later. Post-9/11 veterans (N = 309) completed clinical interview and self-report measures at baseline and 1-year follow-up. Results indicated that psychological inflexibility predicted severity of suicidal ideation at both baseline and 1 year later, after accounting for established risk factors. Psychological inflexibility is an important marker of risk for suicidal ideation, and could be a target for interventions aimed at reducing suicide.
心理僵化，即个体对痛苦内省体验的反应方式，可能是退伍军人自杀的一个可改变的风险因素。本研究假设，在基线和 1 年后，心理僵化会预测自杀意念，且这种预测作用独立于既定风险因素。共有 309 名参加过 9.11 事件的退伍军人完成了基线和 1 年后的临床访谈和自我报告。结果表明，在控制既定风险因素后，心理僵化可以预测基线和 1 年后自杀意念的严重程度。心理僵化是自杀意念风险的一个重要标志，并且可以作为降低自杀率的干预目标。
