PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE The purpose of this conceptual article is to discuss the minority stress model and its potential applicability as a model for examining the higher rates of suicidality in people with disabilities. METHOD This conceptual article is based in the empirical literature on the minority stress model and the literature exploring the experiences of both proximal (e.g., internalized stigma, self-concealment) and distal (e.g., harassment, violence, and discrimination) minority stress among people with disabilities. It also draws from the literature on suicidality and disability. RESULTS After establishing the higher rates of suicidality among people with disabilities as evidenced in the existing literature and discussing our gaps in the knowledge about the factors that drive this phenomenon, I discuss the minority stress model, which posits that elevated rates of suicidality among individuals with disabilities can be explained by a combination of proximal and distal stressors related to one's marginalized status. I then discuss the ways in which this model could be applied to suicidality and psychological distress in individuals with disabilities, drawing on research that establishes that they experience these proximal and distal stressors at high rates. CONCLUSIONS The minority stress model is potentially useful for conceptualizing the higher rates of suicidality among people with disabilities, both alone and in conjunction with other models of suicide, in a manner that addresses disability justice and the experiences and effects of chronic, pervasive marginalization. Recommendations for research, and policy, including strategies for addressing both internalized ableism and disability-related discrimination and harassment, are provided.

检查少数压力模型在解释残疾人自杀行为方面的潜在适用性。

目的/目的这篇概念性文章的目的是讨论少数群体压力模型及其作为检查残疾人较高自杀率模型的潜在适用性。方法这篇概念性文章基于关于少数群体压力模型的实证文献，以及探讨人们近端（例如，内化的耻辱感、自我隐瞒）和远端（例如，骚扰、暴力和歧视）少数群体压力的经历的文献。有残疾。它还借鉴了有关自杀和残疾的文献。结果 在现有文献中证明残疾人的自杀率较高，并讨论了我们在驱动这种现象的因素方面的知识差距之后，我讨论了少数群体压力模型，它假定残疾人的自杀率升高可以通过与边缘化状态相关的近端和远端压力源的组合来解释。然后，我讨论了如何将该模型应用于残障人士的自杀和心理困扰，借鉴研究表明他们会以高频率体验这些近端和远端压力源。结论 少数人压力模型可能有助于将残疾人的较高自杀率概念化，无论是单独还是与其他自杀模型结合使用，以解决残疾正义以及长期普遍边缘化的经历和影响的方式。研究和政策建议，包括解决内化能力障碍和与残疾相关的歧视和骚扰的策略。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
