Despite the robust association found between intimate partner violence perpetration and suicidal ideation (Ilgen et al., 2009), the understanding of the development of suicidal ideation among men and women court-mandated to attend batterer intervention programs is limited. Guided by the alcohol myopia model (Josephs & Steele, 1990) and escape theory of suicide (Baumeister, 1990), this cross-sectional study examined the prevalence and severity of suicidal ideation and whether alcohol problems strengthen the relationship between depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. Surveys were administered to 470 men and women court-mandated to attend batterer intervention programs. Results indicated that 33% of the sample experienced suicidal ideation (15% active ideation) during the 2 weeks prior to batterer intervention program entry. Moderation analyses indicated that as alcohol problems increased, the relationship between depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation strengthened. This work aids practitioners in assessing suicidal ideation in batterer intervention settings.
尽管亲密伴侣暴力行为与自杀意念之间存在显著关联(伊尔根等人,2009年),但对于被法院强制要求参加施暴者干预项目的男性和女性中自杀意念的发展情况,我们的了解仍然有限。在酒精近视模型(约瑟夫斯和斯蒂尔,1990年)和自杀逃避理论(鲍迈斯特,1990年)的指导下,这项横断面研究调查了自杀意念的发生率和严重程度,以及酒精问题是否会强化抑郁症状与自杀意念之间的关系。研究人员对470名被法院强制要求参加施暴者干预项目的男性和女性进行了调查。结果显示,在进入施暴者干预项目前的两周内,33%的样本有自杀意念(15%为主动自杀意念)。调节分析表明,随着酒精问题的增加,抑郁症状与自杀意念之间的关系会增强。这项研究有助于从业者在施暴者干预环境中评估自杀意念。
