To identify risk and protective factors associated with greater emotional distress and suicide ideation among international college students. International students ( = 435) from two Midwestern and two Southeastern universities in the US. Online surveys were administered that measured emotional distress, past-year suicide ideation, entrapment, cultural stress, family conflict, perfectionism, ethnic discrimination, interpersonal needs, ethnic identity, and cultural sanctions against suicide. In final linear regression analyses, higher levels of entrapment, unmet interpersonal needs, and ethnic discrimination were significantly associated with increased emotional distress. Only unmet interpersonal needs remained significantly associated with greater past-year suicide ideation in a multivariate regression analysis. Clinicians working with international students and prevention programmers targeting this population should address students' perceptions of entrapment, ethnic discrimination, and especially unmet interpersonal needs in efforts to decrease or prevent students' feelings of emotional distress and suicide ideation.
为了确定与国际大学生更大的情绪困扰和自杀意念相关的风险和保护因素。 来自美国中西部和东南部的四所大学的留学生（ = 435）。 进行了在线调查，测量了情绪困扰、过去一年的自杀意念、困境感、文化压力、家庭冲突、完美主义、种族歧视、人际需求、民族认同和文化对自杀的制裁。 在最终的线性回归分析中，较高的困境感、未满足的人际需求和种族歧视与情绪困扰增加显著相关。 在多变量回归分析中，只有未满足的人际需求与更大的过去一年自杀意念显著相关。 与国际学生合作的临床医生和针对这一人群的预防计划人员应该解决学生对困境感、种族歧视以及特别是未满足的人际需求的看法，以减少或预防学生的情绪困扰和自杀意念。
