INTRODUCTION
Suicidality is a critical concern among young people, and a prevalent concern in athletes. This study aimed to investigate the rate of suicidality among youth athletes in sports medicine clinics and to evaluate the risk for suicidality in this population.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review of 8,599 patients (10-18 years old) seen between 2018 and 2022 was conducted using the Ask Suicide-Screening Questionnaire (ASQ). Analyses examined relationships between ASQ responses and demographic, clinical, and sport-related variables.
RESULTS
Amongst athletes, higher competition levels were associated with lower rates of suicidality than those competing at lower levels ( = 0.0162). While female sex was associated with increased suicidality overall, this was not significant within the athlete subgroup.
DISCUSSION
Higher levels of sport competition were associated with lower rates of suicidal ideation, suggesting a potential protective effect.
引言
自杀倾向是年轻人中的一个关键问题，也是运动员群体中普遍存在的问题。本研究旨在调查运动医学诊所中青年运动员的自杀倾向发生率，并评估该人群的自杀风险。
方法
使用自杀筛查问卷（ASQ）对2018年至2022年间就诊的8599名10至18岁患者进行回顾性病历审查。分析检查了ASQ回答与人口统计学、临床和运动相关变量之间的关系。
结果
在运动员中，与低水平比赛的运动员相比，高水平比赛与较低的自杀倾向发生率相关（ = 0.0162）。虽然女性总体上与自杀倾向增加有关，但在运动员亚组中这并不显著。
讨论
较高水平的体育比赛与较低的自杀意念发生率相关，表明可能存在保护作用。
