自杀行为是伤害和死亡的主要原因，因此确定保护因素的研究至关重要。研究表明，感恩和生活困难，耐心是性格的优势，可能会防止与最终意义和自杀风险的斗争有害的联系。然而，没有研究评估它们在经历急性/严重心理健康问题的人中的效用。我们测试了他们的保护功能的横截面数据从成人（法师=31.83岁; SD =14.84;范围=18-82）住院的基督教精神病住院设施（Mstay =6.37天，SD =4.64）。感恩与生活艰辛忍耐在意义挣扎与自杀风险之间的正向关系中起调节作用。具体来说，感恩和生活困难的耐心保护免受意义斗争作为自杀的风险因素，通过改善抑郁症状的机制分开。这一发现为感恩和耐心干预提供了初步支持，作为标准精神病治疗的辅助手段，以最大限度地降低自杀风险。
Suicidal behavior is a leading cause of injury and death, so research identifying protective factors is essential. Research suggests gratitude and life hardships patience are character strengths that might protect against the deleterious association of struggles with ultimate meaning and suicide risk. However, no studies have evaluated their utility among people experiencing acute/severe mental health concerns. We tested their protective function with cross-sectional data from adults (Mage =31.83 years; SD =14.84; range =18-82) hospitalized in a Christian psychiatric inpatient facility (Mstay =6.37 days, SD =4.64). Gratitude and life hardships patience moderated the positive relation between meaning struggles and suicide risk. Specifically, gratitude and life hardships patience protected against meaning struggles as a risk factor for suicide through mechanisms separate from ameliorating depressive symptoms. This finding provides initial support for gratitude and patience interventions as an adjunct to standard psychiatric treatment for minimizing suicide risk.
