Though no-suicide agreements are widely used and often recommended for suicidal patients, their sparse empirical support leads to questions regarding their use with patients of various ages. To answer this question, 46 licensed psychologist members of a Southern state psychology association answered questions regarding their beliefs and attitudes about no-suicide agreements. Such agreements were considered more appropriate for adults or adolescents than children. They were judged highly appropriate with moderately suicidal patients and were expected to help patients postpone suicide until after a crisis had past and to help reduce clinicians' anxiety.
尽管不自杀协议被广泛使用,并且经常被推荐给有自杀倾向的患者,但它们缺乏实证支持,这引发了关于其在不同年龄段患者中使用的问题。为了回答这个问题,南方某州心理协会的46名有执照的心理学家成员回答了关于他们对不自杀协议的信念和态度的问题。这类协议被认为对成年人或青少年比对儿童更合适。他们被判定对中度自杀倾向的患者非常合适,并有望帮助患者将自杀推迟到危机过去之后,并有助于减轻临床医生的焦虑。
