Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the self-perceived reasons of suicide attempts among sexual and gender minorities (SGM). We surveyed SGM living in Canada (n = 2778) and respondents who had attempted suicide answered open-ended questions about their perceived reason(s) of their first/only attempt (FOA) and last attempt (LA) (for those who attempted multiple times). Responses were double-coded and categorized as discrete findings. A quarter (25%, n = 695) of the total sample reported a history of suicide attempt, of whom 72% reported multiple attempts. Respondents described a wide variety of reasons for their suicide attempts, with an important number of individuals reporting multiple reasons (corresponding to 47.5% of FOA and 43% of LA). Emotional issues (FOA:42.1%, LA:44.0%) were the most prevalent category of reasons for suicide attempts followed by experience of mental illness (FOA:30.1%, LA:36.1%). Other common reasons included violence (FOA:23.2%, LA:10.2%), interpersonal conflict (FOA:13.4%, LA:6.0%), stress related to life circumstances (FOA:9.5%, LA:16.7%), relationship issues (FOA:7.9%, LA:13.3%), and minority stress related to sexuality (FOA:11.1%, LA:6.2%) and gender identity (FOA:5.0%, LA:6.8%). SGM assessments of the reasons underlying their suicide attempts yielded a variety of factors, many of which were absent from the literature on SGM suicide but amenable to tailored interventions.

加拿大性少数群体和性别少数群体自杀未遂的自认为原因。
本研究旨在探讨性与性别少数群体(SGM)自我认知的自杀未遂原因。我们对居住在加拿大的 SGM(n = 2778)进行了调查,曾试图自杀的受访者回答了开放式问题,内容涉及他们认为的首次/唯一自杀未遂(FOA)和最后一次自杀未遂(LA)(针对多次自杀未遂者)的原因。对回答进行了双重编码,并将其归类为离散结果。在所有样本中,有四分之一(25%,n = 695)的受访者报告有自杀未遂史,其中 72% 的受访者报告有多次自杀未遂史。受访者描述了自杀未遂的各种原因,其中相当多的人报告了多种原因(相当于 47.5% 的 FOA 和 43% 的 LA)。情绪问题(FOA:42.1%,LA:44.0%)是最常见的自杀未遂原因,其次是精神疾病经历(FOA:30.1%,LA:36.1%)。其他常见原因包括暴力(FOA:23.2%,LA:10.2%)、人际冲突(FOA:13.4%,LA:6.0%)、与生活环境有关的压力(FOA:9.5%,LA:16.7%)、人际关系问题(FOA:7.9%,LA:13.3%),以及与性行为(FOA:11.1%,LA:6.2%)和性别认同(FOA:5.0%,LA:6.8%)有关的少数群体压力。对 SGM 自杀未遂原因的评估发现了多种因素,其中许多因素在有关 SGM 自杀的文献中并不存在,但却可以进行有针对性的干预。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
