Adolescent suicide is a serious global health concern. Although familial transmission of suicidal behaviors has been identified in previous research, the effects of parental gender remain unknown. This study identified the influence of parental suicidal behaviors on suicide attempts among adolescent girls. We collected data through a cross-sectional, nationwide, population-based survey in South Korea and evaluated data from 890 adolescent girls (aged 12-18 years) who had attempted suicide and their parents. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors related to suicide attempts among adolescent girls. The final model indicated that mothers' suicidal plans and attempts ( = 6.39, = 12.38, respectively) were important risk factors for suicide attempts in adolescent girls. Future studies should identify specific methods for effective prevention and treatment through path analysis of the related factors affecting suicidal behavior of adolescents according to their parents' gender.
青少年自杀是一个严重的全球健康问题。尽管之前的研究已经确定了自杀行为在家庭中的传递,但父母性别的影响尚不清楚。本研究旨在确定父母的自杀行为对少女自杀企图的影响。我们通过在韩国进行的一项横断面、全国性、基于人群的调查收集数据,并评估了 890 名有自杀企图的少女及其父母的数据。采用分层逻辑回归分析与少女自杀企图相关的风险因素。最终模型表明,母亲的自杀计划和尝试(=6.39,=12.38)是少女自杀企图的重要危险因素。未来的研究应通过根据父母性别分析影响青少年自杀行为的相关因素的路径分析,确定针对父母性别制定具体的有效预防和治疗方法。
