Little research has focused on suicide-related symptoms in female servicemembers, despite high rates of suicidal behaviors. This study examined sex differences in suicide-related risk factors in 3,374 U.S. Army Recruiters (91.9% male). Female servicemembers had a greater number of past major depressive and suicidal ideation episodes than males; there were no differences in suicide attempt histories or mental health visits. Females reported significantly fewer symptoms of current suicidal ideation, perceived burdensomeness, and acquired capability. No significant sex differences emerged for thwarted belongingness, insomnia, or agitation. Our findings provide evidence for sex differences in rates of suicide-related symptoms among military personnel.
尽管自杀行为发生率很高，但针对女性军人自杀相关症状的研究却很少。本研究调查了3374名美国陆军征兵人员（91.9%为男性）自杀相关风险因素的性别差异。女性军人过去患重度抑郁症和有自杀意念发作的次数比男性更多；自杀未遂史或心理健康就诊次数没有差异。女性报告的当前自杀意念、感知负担和获得自杀能力的症状明显较少。在归属感受挫、失眠或激动方面未出现显著的性别差异。我们的研究结果为军事人员自杀相关症状发生率的性别差异提供了证据。
