We examined the association of sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) with past-week depressive symptoms and past 12-month suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among Korean lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults. A cross-sectional study of 2168 participants was used. Lifetime SOCE was classified as "never experienced," "been advised but not undergone SOCE," and "undergone SOCE." Participants who had undergone SOCE showed 1.44- and 2.35-times higher prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts than those without such practices. Significant associations were also observed between having advice on SOCE alone and all mental health indicators. Strict legal sanctions that prohibit SOCE are required in Korea.
我们研究了性取向改变疗法（SOCE）与韩国男女同性恋、双性恋成年人过去一周抑郁症状和过去 12 个月自杀意念和自杀企图之间的关联。采用了一项对 2168 名参与者的横断面研究。终生 SOCE 分为“从未经历过”、“被建议但未进行 SOCE”和“进行过 SOCE”。接受过 SOCE 的参与者出现自杀意念和自杀企图的比例比没有这种做法的参与者高 1.44 倍和 2.35 倍。仅接受 SOCE 建议也与所有心理健康指标之间存在显著关联。韩国需要严格的法律制裁，禁止 SOCE。
