Understanding what motivates suicidal behavior is critical to effective prevention and clinical intervention. The Inventory of Motivations for Suicide Attempts (IMSA) is a self-report measure developed to assess a wide variety of potential motivations for suicide. The purpose of this study is to examine the measure's psychometric and descriptive properties in two distinct populations: 1) adult psychiatric inpatients (n = 59) with recent suicide attempts (median of 3 days prior) and 2) community participants assessed online (n = 222) who had attempted suicide a median of 5 years earlier. Findings were very similar across both samples and consistent with initial research on the IMSA in outpatients and undergraduates who had attempted suicide. First, the individual IMSA scales demonstrated good internal reliability and were well represented by a two factor superordinate structure: 1) Internal Motivations and 2) Communication Motivations. Second, in both samples unbearable mental pain and hopelessness were the most common and strongly endorsed motivations, while interpersonal influence was the least endorsed. Finally, motivations were similar in men and women -- a pattern that previous work was not in a position to examine. Taken together with previous work, findings suggest that the nature, structure, and clinical correlates of suicide attempt motivations remain consistent across diverse individuals and situations. The IMSA may serve as a useful tool in both research and clinical contexts to quickly assess individual suicide attempt motivations.

自杀动机:来自临床和社区样本的越来越多的证据。

了解导致自杀行为的原因对于有效预防和临床干预至关重要。自杀动机清单(IMSA)是一种自我报告指标,旨在评估各种潜在的自杀动机。这项研究的目的是在两个不同的人群中检查该量度的心理计量和描述特性:1)最近自杀未遂(中位数为三天)的成人精神病住院患者(n = 59)和2)在线评估的社区参与者222)曾在5年前中途自杀。这两个样本的发现非常相似,并且与对自杀未遂的门诊患者和大学生进行IMSA的初步研究一致。第一,各个IMSA量表显示出良好的内部可靠性,并由两个因素的上级结构很好地表示:1)内部动机和2)沟通动机。其次,在这两个样本中,难以忍受的精神痛苦和绝望是最普遍且受到强烈认可的动机,而人际交往的影响则是最不被认可的动机。最后,男女动机相似-这种模式以前的工作无法研究。结合以前的工作,发现表明自杀企图动机的性质,结构和临床关联在不同的个人和情况下保持一致。IMSA可以在研究和临床环境中用作有用的工具,以快速评估个人自杀未遂的动机。1)内部动机和2)交流动机。其次,在这两个样本中,难以忍受的精神痛苦和绝望是最普遍且受到强烈认可的动机,而人际交往的影响则是最不被认可的动机。最后,男女动机相似-这种模式以前的工作无法研究。结合以前的工作,发现表明自杀企图动机的性质,结构和临床关联在不同的个人和情况下保持一致。IMSA可以在研究和临床环境中用作有用的工具,以快速评估个人自杀未遂的动机。1)内部动机和2)交流动机。其次,在这两个样本中,难以忍受的精神痛苦和绝望是最普遍且受到强烈认可的动机,而人际交往的影响则是最不被认可的动机。最后,男女动机相似-这种模式以前的工作无法研究。结合以前的工作,发现表明自杀企图动机的性质,结构和临床关联在不同的个人和情况下保持一致。IMSA可以在研究和临床环境中用作有用的工具,以快速评估个人自杀未遂的动机。而对人际关系的影响却最少。最后,男女动机相似-这种模式以前的工作无法研究。结合以前的工作,发现表明自杀企图动机的性质,结构和临床关联在不同的个人和情况下保持一致。IMSA可以在研究和临床环境中用作有用的工具,以快速评估个人自杀未遂的动机。而对人际影响力的认可最少。最后,男女动机相似-这种模式以前的工作无法研究。结合以前的工作,发现表明自杀企图动机的性质,结构和临床关联在不同的个人和情况下保持一致。IMSA可以在研究和临床环境中用作有用的工具,以快速评估个人自杀未遂的动机。
