Background: Previous work suggests that reasons for living (RFL) are associated with suicide ideation; however, the relationship between RFL and suicide attempts among individuals with suicide ideation remains unclear. Such an examination is necessary to delineate whether RFL are associated with suicide attempts above and beyond their association with suicide ideation. Aims: This study examined the relationship between RFL and suicide attempts among young adults with a lifetime history of suicide ideation. Method: Undergraduate students (N = 163) completed surveys assessing demographics, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and RFL. Results: Individuals with a history of both suicide ideation and attempt reported significantly lower RFL than individuals with a history of suicide ideation but no suicide attempt. Among individual RFL-YA subscales, only Coping Beliefs was significantly associated with a suicide attempt history. Limitations: The cross-sectional nature of this study precludes any conclusions about the potential protective effects of RFL against suicide attempts, and the college student sample limits generalizability of the findings. Conclusion: Further research is needed to understand whether RFL prospectively predict suicide attempts among individuals with suicide ideation and whether interventions that bolster RFL might reduce suicide risk.

有终生自杀意念的年轻人的生活和自杀企图的原因。

背景：先前的研究表明，生存原因 (RFL) 与自杀意念有关；然而，在有自杀意念的个体中，RFL 与自杀企图之间的关系仍不清楚。这种检查对于描述 RFL 是否与自杀未遂相关，超出其与自杀意念的相关性是必要的。目的：本研究调查了 RFL 与终生有自杀意念史的年轻人的自杀企图之间的关系。方法：本科生 (N = 163) 完成了评估人口统计、自杀想法和行为以及 RFL 的调查。结果：有自杀意念和企图自杀史的人报告的 RFL 显着低于有自杀意念史但没有自杀企图的人。在各个 RFL-YA 分量表中，只有应对信念与自杀未遂史显着相关。局限性：本研究的横断面性质排除了关于 RFL 对自杀企图的潜在保护作用的任何结论，并且大学生样本限制了研究结果的普遍性。结论：需要进一步的研究来了解 RFL 是否可以前瞻性地预测有自杀意念的个体的自杀企图，以及支持 RFL 的干预措施是否可以降低自杀风险。
