There is growing concern over the potential for increased suicide risk in vulnerable populations as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds. To contextualize this risk during the first weeks of the nationwide lockdown efforts, we had 1,013 U.S. adults complete questionnaires assessing worries over COVID-19, insomnia severity, and suicidal ideation. Anxiety about COVID-19 correlated positively with insomnia severity and suicidal ideation. Analysis revealed that the statistical association between pandemic fears and suicidal thinking was fully accounted for by insomnia severity, suggesting that interventions aimed at improving sleep may be useful in reducing suicide risk during the current pandemic.
随着新冠疫情的发展，人们越来越担心弱势群体自杀风险增加的可能性。为了解全国封锁措施最初几周内的这种风险，我们让1013名美国成年人填写问卷，评估对新冠疫情的担忧、失眠严重程度和自杀意念。对新冠疫情的焦虑与失眠严重程度和自杀意念呈正相关。分析表明，疫情恐惧与自杀想法之间的统计关联完全由失眠严重程度来解释，这表明旨在改善睡眠的干预措施可能有助于降低当前疫情期间的自杀风险。
