摘要
目的:全球三分之一的自杀死亡病例发生在青少年和年轻人身上,自杀已成为年轻人的第二大死因。近 80% 的自杀死亡发生在中低收入国家,许多非洲国家的自杀率高于全球平均水平。然而,干预措施却很少。我们对预防非洲青少年自杀的咨询干预措施进行了范围界定:我们对 Medline、Embase、PyscINFO、African Index Medicus、Global Heath Database 和 Proquest Dissertations and Theses Global 数据库进行了结构化检索。只要研究描述了在非洲进行的咨询干预,以 22 岁以下的参与者为研究对象,并包含与自杀相关的结果,就符合纳入条件:去除重复内容后,共筛选出 1808 篇标题和摘要,并确定了 10 篇研究进行全文审阅。其中,6 项研究包括成年参与者,但未对青少年的结果进行分类,2 项研究未对干预措施进行描述,2 项研究未包含相关结果。因此,没有研究符合纳入条件:这篇空洞的综述突出表明,对于这一威胁生命的公共卫生挑战,公开发表的研究成果明显不足,这也是对改进非洲青少年自杀预防工作的明确要求。
A profound absence of counseling interventions for suicide prevention among youth in Africa: A call to action based on an empty scoping review.
Objective: One-third of all global suicide deaths occur among adolescents and young adults, making suicide the second leading cause of death among young people. Nearly 80% of suicide deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, and many African nations have higher rates of suicide than global averages. However, interventions are scarce. We conducted a scoping review of counseling interventions for suicide prevention among youth in Africa.
Method: We performed structured searches of the Medline, Embase, PyscINFO, African Index Medicus, Global Heath Database, and Proquest Dissertations and Theses Global databases. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they described a counseling intervention conducted in Africa, focused on participants under age 22, and included a suicide-related outcome.
Results: After removal of duplicates, 1808 titles and abstracts were screened and 10 studies were identified for full-text review. Of these, six included adult participants and did not disaggregate results for youth, two did not describe an intervention, and two did not include a relevant outcome. Thus, no studies were eligible for inclusion.
Conclusions: This empty review highlights the striking absence of published research on a life-threatening public health challenge, representing a distinct call to action for improved efforts in adolescent suicide prevention in Africa.
期刊介绍:
An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information - The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
