我们通过比较 65 名最近有自杀企图的青少年及其母亲与 75 名从未尝试过自杀的青少年及其母亲，研究了文化适应、家庭主义和拉丁裔母女关系在自杀企图中的作用。尝试者和非尝试者在文化适应和家庭主义态度方面相似，但尝试者报告与母亲的相互关系和沟通明显少于非尝试者。与未尝试者的母亲相比，尝试者的母亲与女儿的相互关系和沟通较低。相互关系的小幅增加会使自杀企图的可能性降低 57%。文化适应和家庭主义似乎并未在自杀企图中发挥主要作用，但相关因素可能会发挥主要作用。为拉丁裔青少年（尤其是中学青少年）及其家长单独或联合建立学校心理教育小组，并注重提高家长和青春期女儿之间的有效沟通和相互关系，是重要的一级预防策略。
We examined the role of acculturation, familism and Latina mother–daughter relations in suicide attempts by comparing 65 adolescents with recent suicide attempts and their mothers to 75 teens without any attempts and their mothers. Attempters and non-attempters were similar in acculturation and familistic attitudes but attempters report significantly less mutuality and communication with their mothers than non-attempters. Mothers of attempters reported lower mutuality and communication with their daughters than mothers of non-attempters. Small increments in mutuality decreased the probability of a suicide attempt by 57%. Acculturation and familism do not appear to play major roles in suicide attempts but relational factors may. Instituting school-based psychoeducational groups for young Latinas, particularly in middle school, and their parents, separately and jointly, and focusing on raising effective communication and mutuality between parents and adolescent daughters are important primary prevention strategies.
