Carers of loved ones who repeatedly express suicidal intent and/or engage in suicidal behavior may experience a sense of anticipation of eventual suicide due to the potential of a fatal act of self-harm. An understanding of John Rolland's concept of anticipatory loss may help clinicians understand and attend to the experiences of carers of adults who engage in repeated suicidal behavior. Indeed, there appear to be some similarities between this model of anticipatory loss and experiences of informal carers, indicating that the phenomenon, which is hitherto under-explored in the suicidology field, may merit further consideration.

具有持久自杀倾向的成年人的非正式照顾者可能会经历预期损失吗？

反复表达自杀意图和/或从事自杀行为的亲人的照顾者可能会因为可能发生致命的自残行为而产生对最终自杀的预期。了解约翰罗兰的预期损失概念可能有助于临床医生了解和关注那些反复自杀行为的成年人的照顾者的经历。事实上，这种预期损失模型与非正式照顾者的经历之间似乎存在一些相似之处，这表明这一现象在自杀学领域迄今尚未得到充分探索，可能值得进一步考虑。
