Abstract

Background: The scientific literature indicates that people from sexual minorities may be at increased risk for mental health difficulties. Moreover, parental support could play a protective role against poor mental health. The objective of this study was to examine whether a person's sexual orientation was related to a greater risk of mental health problems in a representative sample of adolescents. In addition, the study analyzed the possible moderating effect of parental support in the relationship between sexual orientation and mental health, as also moderated by participant gender.

Method: The sample consisted of 1790 secondary-school students. Indicators of emotional and behavioral difficulties, symptoms of depression, psychotic-like experiences, suicidal behavior, well-being, and self-esteem were assessed.

Results: The results indicated significant main effects of gender and sexual orientation. Having a diverse sexual orientation (i.e., lesbian/gay, bisexual and questioning) was related to increased risk of mental health difficulties. Moreover, the results showed a significant interaction effect of gender and sexual orientation on suicidal behavior. Finally, the results showed the moderating effect of parental support and gender in the relationship between sexual orientation and suicidal behavior.

Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of promoting sexual minority youths' mental health and well-being.

父母支持和性别调节青少年性取向与自杀行为的关系。
背景:科学文献表明,性少数群体出现心理健康问题的风险可能会增加。此外,父母的支持可以对心理健康不良起到保护作用。这项研究的目的是在一个有代表性的青少年样本中检验一个人的性取向是否与更大的心理健康问题风险有关。此外,本研究还分析了父母支持在性取向与心理健康关系中的可能调节作用,以及受参与者性别的调节作用。方法:以1790名中学生为样本。评估情绪和行为困难指标、抑郁症状、精神病样经历、自杀行为、幸福感和自尊。结果:性别和性取向是影响大学生心理健康的主要因素。拥有不同的性取向(即女同性恋/男同性恋、双性恋和质疑性取向)与心理健康困难的风险增加有关。此外,性别和性取向对自杀行为有显著的交互作用。最后,研究结果显示父母支持和性别对性取向与自杀行为的关系有调节作用。结论:这些发现强调了促进性少数青少年心理健康和幸福的重要性。
