Parental history of a suicide attempt increases children's risk for suicidal behavior. This study examined parental perceptions of and willingness to engage in suicide prevention programs for children whose parents have a history of attempting suicide. Semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted with nine parents who had a history of suicide attempt. Parents described three key elements they perceived to be necessary for this type of suicide prevention program: (a) parental involvement and education, (b) child education and counseling, and (c) timeliness of intervention. Parents also identified three barriers that could hinder program participation: (a) fear, stigma, and embarrassment; (b) finances, insurance, time, and transportation; and (c) lack of education. Incorporating these key components within suicide prevention programs as well as addressing identified barriers may increase familial participation and help reduce suicide risk in youth with a parental history of suicide attempt.

父母有自杀未遂史会增加孩子出现自杀行为的风险。本研究调查了父母对为有自杀未遂史的孩子开展自杀预防项目的看法以及参与这些项目的意愿。对九位有自杀未遂史的父母进行了半结构化定性访谈。父母们描述了他们认为这类自杀预防项目必需的三个关键要素：（a）父母的参与和教育；（b）孩子的教育和咨询；（c）干预的及时性。父母们还指出了可能阻碍项目参与的三个障碍：（a）恐惧、耻辱感和尴尬；（b）资金、保险、时间和交通；（c）缺乏教育。将这些关键要素纳入自杀预防项目并解决已识别的障碍，可能会提高家庭参与度，并有助于降低有父母自杀未遂史的青少年的自杀风险。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
