This paper describes a preliminary study examining the relative power of measures of perceived family support, hopelessness, and depression for the classification of suicide attempters and nonattempters in a series of 8- to 13-year-old psychiatric inpatients. Results of a stepwise discriminant-function analysis indicated that a measure of a child's perceived family support discriminated between suicide attempters and nonattempters with an 88% accuracy rate. The addition of measures of hopelessness and depression at later steps did not lead to improved classification. The results are interpreted as providing strong support for a link between suicide attempts in children and perceptions of low family support.
本文描述了一项初步研究，该研究考察了感知到的家庭支持、绝望感和抑郁程度的测量指标，对一系列8至13岁精神科住院儿童中自杀未遂者和非自杀未遂者进行分类的相对效力。逐步判别函数分析结果表明，一项关于儿童感知到的家庭支持的测量指标，对自杀未遂者和非自杀未遂者的区分准确率为88%。在后续步骤中加入绝望感和抑郁程度的测量指标，并未提高分类效果。这些结果被解释为有力支持了儿童自杀未遂与低家庭支持感知之间的联系。
