The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak may have affected the mental health of patients at high risk of suicide. In this study we explored the wish to die and other suicide risk factors using smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) in patients with a history of suicidal thoughts and behaviour. Contrary to our expectations we found a decrease in the wish to die during lockdown. This is consistent with previous studies showing that suicide rates decrease during periods of social emergency. Smartphone-based EMA can allow us to remotely assess patients and overcome the physical barriers imposed by lockdown.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫情可能影响了有自杀高风险患者的心理健康。在本研究中,我们使用基于智能手机的生态瞬时评估(EMA),对有自杀想法和行为史的患者的死亡意愿及其他自杀风险因素进行了探究。与我们的预期相反,我们发现在封锁期间死亡意愿有所下降。这与之前的研究结果一致,即社会紧急状态期间自杀率会下降。基于智能手机的EMA能够让我们远程评估患者,并克服封锁带来的物理障碍。
