It has been suggested that religion and spirituality have a protective impact on suicide risk in populations living with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This review sought to examine the association between suicide risk among veterans and refugees with PTSD and religion or spirituality as a modifying factor. Two databases, PubMed and Embase, were searched and 10 publications were identified and included. Seven publications found that religion or spirituality was associated with lower suicide risk. The findings in this study suggest that religion and spirituality contain social as well as psychological domains, which should be considered in future interventions and in strategies of prevention of suicide in populations with PTSD. Further high-quality research with well-defined terms of religion and spirituality that investigates the connection to suicide risk of veterans and refugees with PTSD is recommended.
有人认为，宗教和精神信仰对创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）患者的自杀风险具有保护作用。本综述旨在探讨 PTSD 退伍军人和难民的自杀风险与宗教或精神信仰之间的关系，以及宗教或精神信仰是否为一个调节因素。研究人员检索了 PubMed 和 Embase 两个数据库，确定了 10 篇相关文献，并纳入分析。其中 7 篇研究表明，宗教或精神信仰与较低的自杀风险相关。本研究结果表明，宗教和精神信仰包含社会和心理领域，这在未来干预 PTSD 患者的自杀问题以及制定预防自杀策略时应该得到重视。研究人员建议开展更多高质量研究，采用明确的宗教和精神信仰术语来界定相关概念，以进一步探究 PTSD 退伍军人和难民的自杀风险与宗教或精神信仰之间的联系。
