Previous literature suggests that low self-esteem is a risk factor for suicide attempts, but no meta-analyses have been conducted to assess this association in adolescents/young adults. The present study examined the relationship between low self-esteem and suicide attempts in young people (12-26 years old).
Meta-analyses were performed using random-effects models (ES) and odds ratio (OR). Heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses were performed.
From 26,883 initial titles, 22 studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 9 studies had data that could be included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed that youths with lower self-esteem were more likely to have future suicide attempts, with an effect size (self-esteem as continuous variable) of d = .58 (95% CI = .44 - .73) and, for low self-esteem (categorical variable) an OR = 1.99 (95% CI = 1.39-2.86; p < .001).
A low level of self-esteem is a risk factor for suicide attempts in adolescents/young adults.
以往文献表明，低自尊是自杀未遂的一个风险因素，但尚未有荟萃分析来评估青少年/年轻人中这种关联。本研究旨在检验年轻人（12-26 岁）中低自尊与自杀未遂之间的关系。
使用随机效应模型（ES）和优势比（OR）进行荟萃分析。进行了异质性和敏感性分析。
从 26883 个初始标题中，有 22 项研究符合纳入标准，其中 9 项研究有可纳入荟萃分析的数据。荟萃分析表明，自尊心较低的年轻人更有可能有未来的自杀企图，其效应量（自尊作为连续变量）为 d =.58（95% CI =.44 -.73），对于低自尊（分类变量），OR = 1.99（95% CI = 1.39-2.86；p <.001）。
低自尊是青少年/年轻人自杀未遂的一个风险因素。
