父母自杀的儿童和青少年幸存者同时经历两个压力事件:(1) 失去主要照顾者,(2) 重要人物自杀身亡。人们认为这些年轻人出现心理健康问题的风险较高,但尚未对这些幸存者的研究进行系统审查。对已发表文献的全面检索发现了九项研究。现有的研究提供了关于父母自杀对后代精神和心理社会结果影响的适度但不一致的证据。需要在方法上进行更严格的研究来为这些幸存者的事后预防工作提供信息和指导。
Child and adolescent survivors of parental suicide experience two stressful events simultaneously: (1) the loss of a primary caregiver, and (2) suicidal death of a significant person. These youths are thought to be at increased risk for mental health problems, but a systematic review of studies on these survivors has not yet been conducted. A comprehensive search for published literature identified nine studies. The existent studies provided modest yet inconsistent evidence on the impact of parental suicide on offspring psychiatric and psychosocial outcomes. More methodologically rigorous research is needed to inform and guide postvention efforts for these survivors.
