This review explores the literature to test the hypothesis that 'moral objections to suicide (MOS), especially the conviction of going to hell after committing suicide, exert a restraining effect on suicide and suicidality.' Medline and PsycInfo were searched using all relevant search terms; all relevant articles were selected, rated and reviewed. Fifteen cross-sectional studies were available on this topic, and raise sufficient evidence to confirm a restraining effect of MOS, and sparse data on fear of hell. MOS seem to counteract especially the development of suicidal intent and attempts, and possibly the lethality of suicidal attempts. A differential pattern of influence of MOS on the suicidal continuum is suggested.
本综述通过研究文献来验证“对自杀的道德反对（MOS），尤其是对自杀后会下地狱的深信，对自杀及自杀倾向具有抑制作用”这一假设。使用所有相关检索词对Medline和PsycInfo进行了检索；挑选出所有相关文章并进行评分和综述。关于该主题有15项横断面研究，这些研究提供了充分证据来证实MOS的抑制作用，而关于对地狱恐惧的数据则较为稀少。MOS似乎尤其能对抗自杀意图和自杀未遂行为的发展，也可能降低自杀未遂行为的致死性。研究表明MOS对自杀连续体的影响存在差异模式。
