这份报告探讨了低收入的非洲裔美国妇女自杀企图的历史中，母亲对自杀意念的保护作用。以前研究家庭因素与自杀风险之间关系的结果在这一人群中不一致，表明家庭既可以加剧也可以降低风险。关于母亲身份与自杀风险之间联系的研究很少，但与家庭和儿童相关的担忧已被确定为与自杀企图风险降低相关的独特原因。自认为是非洲裔美国妇女（N= 146），年龄18-64，谁试图自杀在过去的12个月内从一个大型城市公立医院招募。一个自举中介模型进行了测试，使用母亲的人口统计学措施作为预测因素，生活的原因（RFL）规模作为中介，贝克自杀意念量表作为结果。该模型解释了自杀意念变异的41%，RFL的间接效应具有统计学显著性。这些研究结果提供了实证支持的假设，即母亲是保护自杀意念的非裔美国妇女的自杀企图的历史。未来的研究应寻求确定如何将母性状态的保护功能纳入对这一高危人群的临床干预措施中可能有助于提高治疗效果。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2024阿帕，保留所有权利）
This report examines the protective role of motherhood against suicidal ideation among low-income African American women with a history of suicide attempts. Findings from previous studies examining the relations between family factors and suicide risks are inconsistent in this population, indicating that family could both exacerbate and reduce risks. Research on the link between motherhood-status specifically and suicide risk is rare, but family and child-related concerns have been identified as unique reasons for living associated with reduced risk of suicide attempt. Self-identified African American women (N= 146), ages 18–64, who attempted suicide within the previous 12 months were recruited from a large urban public hospital. A bootstrapping mediation model was tested using motherhood status from the demographics measure as the predictor, the Reasons for Living (RFL) scales as the mediator, and the Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale as the outcome. The model accounted for 41% of the variance in suicidal ideation and the indirect effect of RFL was statistically significant. These findings provide empirical support for the hypothesis that motherhood is protective against suicidal ideation among African American women with a history of suicide attempts. Future research should seek to determine how incorporating the protective function of motherhood status in clinical interventions with this high-risk population might help to improve treatment effectiveness.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
