To investigate the link between empathy, perceived social support, and depressive and grieving symptoms in suicide survivors.
Scores on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG), Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD), Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), and the Social Support section of the Interpersonal Questionnaire were collected from 265 survivors. Relations were tested via multivariate regression models.
Lower Perspective Taking (PT) was related with higher levels of BDI score, and higher Personal Distress (PD) was associated with higher BDI, ICG, and PGD scores. Higher levels of Social Support were related with higher BDI and ICG (but not PGD) scores.
Empathic PD and PT, and perceived social support are differently associated with depression and grief-related symptoms. Empathy-focused psychotherapies and empowerment of social support may reduce symptoms in suicide survivors.
探讨同理心、感知社会支持与自杀幸存者的抑郁和悲伤症状之间的联系。
对 265 名幸存者进行贝克抑郁量表(BDI)、复杂悲伤量表(ICG)、延长悲伤障碍(PGD)、人际反应指数(IRI)和人际关系问卷社会支持部分的评分。通过多元回归模型测试关系。
较低的观点采择(PT)与较高的 BDI 评分相关,较高的个人困扰(PD)与较高的 BDI、ICG 和 PGD 评分相关。较高的社会支持水平与较高的 BDI 和 ICG(但不是 PGD)评分相关。
同理心的 PD 和 PT 以及感知的社会支持与抑郁和与悲伤相关的症状有不同的关联。以同理心为重点的心理治疗和增强社会支持可能会减轻自杀幸存者的症状。
