精神健康已被证明可以减少自杀行为、抑郁症状和绝望。人际需求受挫会增加自杀行为的风险。本文旨在探讨非裔美国妇女的精神健康、受挫的人际需求和负面结果包括自杀意念、绝望和抑郁症状之间的相互关系。66名非洲裔美国妇女（M = 36.18; SD = 11.70）完成了自我报告问卷，研究对象是在过去一年中经历过人际暴力的妇女。中介分析显示，受挫的归属感，而不是感知负担，显著中介了精神幸福感与三个结果之间的关系。本研究首次考察了人际需求受阻对精神健康与消极心理结果之间关系的影响。精神健康对社会孤立感具有保护作用，这可能会减少一个人产生消极心理后果的风险。加强精神和社会联系感的治疗可能会减少自杀念头、绝望和抑郁症状。
Spiritual well-being has been shown to reduce suicidal behavior, depressive symptoms, and hopelessness. Thwarted interpersonal needs have been shown to increase risk of suicidal behavior. This paper aims to explore the interrelationships among spiritual well-being, thwarted interpersonal needs, and negative outcomes including suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and depressive symptoms among African American women. Sixty-six African American women (M = 36.18; SD = 11.70), from a larger study of women who had experienced interpersonal violence within the past year, completed self-report questionnaires. Mediation analyses revealed that thwarted belongingness, but not perceived burdensomeness, significantly mediated the relations between spiritual well-being and the three outcomes. This study provides the first examination of the role of thwarted interpersonal needs on the link between spiritual well-being and negative psychological outcomes. Spiritual well-being serves a protective role against feelings of social isolation, which may reduce one's risk of negative psychological outcomes. Treatments that bolster a sense of spirituality and social connectedness may reduce suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and depressive symptoms.
