本研究考察了上海市青少年身体虐待、心理虐待、家庭功能知觉与自杀意念的关系。知觉的家庭功能进行了调查，身体虐待，心理虐待和自杀意念之间的可能的调节剂。采用方便抽样进行横断面调查。本研究以上海市12 ~ 17岁的学生为被试，采用自填式问卷法，共收回有效问卷560份。资料分析方法为描述性统计分析、皮尔逊相关分析及阶层回归分析。结果表明，身体虐待与更大的青少年自杀意念显着相关，而较高水平的家庭功能感知与较低的自杀意念显着相关。然而，心理虐待与自杀意念无关。知觉家庭功能被证明是身体虐待和自杀意念之间的调节剂。具体而言，相互性和家庭沟通调节身体虐待和自杀意念之间的关系。为了减少青少年自杀意念，建议采取措施，防止身体虐待和加强家庭功能。首先，重要的是提高父母对身体虐待的意义和界限的认识，以及它在助长青少年自杀意念方面所起的作用。第二，父母应被教导适当的育儿技巧和知识，并被引导将儿童视为具有独特个性、权利和特权的个体。第三，促进家庭和谐、有效沟通，以及促进家庭成员之间的互信、关怀和理解，是十分重要的。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The present study examined the relationship among physical abuse, psychological abuse, perceived family functioning and adolescent suicidal ideation in Shanghai, China. Perceived family functioning was investigated as a possible moderator between physical abuse, psychological abuse and suicidal ideation. A cross sectional survey using convenience sampling was conducted. A total of 560 valid self-administered questionnaires were completed by the students aged from 12 to 17 in Shanghai. Descriptive statistical analyses, Pearson correlations analyses, and hierarchical regression analyses were adopted as methods of data analyses. Results indicated that physical abuse was significantly associated with greater adolescent suicidal ideation, while a higher level of perceived family functioning was significantly associated with lower suicidal ideation. However, psychological abuse was not associated with suicidal ideation. Perceived family functioning was shown to be a moderator between physical abuse and suicidal ideation. Specifically, mutuality and family communication moderated the relationship between physical abuse and suicidal ideation. To decrease adolescent suicidal ideation, measures are suggested to prevent physical abuse and enhance family functioning. First, it is important to increase the parents' awareness of the meaning and boundaries of physical abuse, as well as the role it plays in contributing to adolescent suicidal ideation. Second, parents should be taught appropriate parenting skills and knowledge and be guided to treat the children as individuals with their unique personality, rights and privileges. Third, it is important to promote family harmony, effective communication as well as mutual trust, concern and understanding among family members. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
