The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of attachment style and emotional security in the family system on suicidal ideation in a sample of young adult female victims of child sexual abuse (CSA). The possible effects of CSA characteristics and other types of child abuse on suicidal ideation were controlled for. The sample consisted of 188 female college students who had been victims of sexual abuse before the age of 18, as well as 188 randomly selected participants who had not experienced CSA. The results showed that both attachment and emotional security were associated with suicidal ideation, even when controlling for both the characteristics of abuse and the existence of other abuses. The strong relationships of emotional security and attachment style with suicidal ideation suggest the importance of early intervention with children who have been sexually abused and their families, in an effort to optimize their attachment style, as well as to decrease emotional insecurity to prevent the onset of symptomatology related to suicidal ideation.
本研究旨在分析依恋风格和家庭系统中的情感安全感对儿童性虐待(CSA)年轻成年女性受害者自杀意念的影响。控制了 CSA 特征和其他类型的儿童虐待对自杀意念的可能影响。样本包括 188 名曾在 18 岁之前遭受性虐待的女大学生,以及 188 名随机选择的未经历 CSA 的参与者。结果表明,依恋和情感安全感都与自杀意念有关,即使在控制了虐待的特征和其他虐待的存在的情况下也是如此。情感安全感和依恋风格与自杀意念的强烈关系表明,对遭受性虐待的儿童及其家庭进行早期干预的重要性,以努力优化他们的依恋风格,并减少情感不安全感,以防止出现与自杀意念相关的症状。
