Abstract

While suicide attempt survivors often choose to conceal their suicidal thoughts and behaviors to avoid stigma, concealment might also limit the support they receive. This study evaluated a peer-led strategic disclosure intervention for suicide attempt survivors (N = 38) who were randomized to either a 6-hour group disclosure intervention or waitlist control. Results showed a significant group-by-time interaction from baseline to post-intervention on two measures of self-stigma, depression, and self-esteem, but not for other variables. Effect sizes were medium to large. Findings suggest that suicide attempt survivors may benefit from interventions that address self-stigma and disclosure.

摘要

虽然自杀未遂幸存者经常选择隐瞒他们的自杀想法和行为以避免耻辱，但隐瞒也可能会限制他们获得的支持。这项研究评估了针对自杀未遂幸存者（ N = 38）的同伴主导的战略披露干预， 他们被随机分配到 6 小时的小组披露干预或候补名单控制。结果显示，从基线到干预后，自我耻辱感、抑郁和自尊这两项指标存在显着的按时间分组交互作用，但其他变量则不然。影响大小从中到大。调查结果表明，自杀未遂幸存者可能会受益于解决自我污名化和披露问题的干预措施。
