摘要
背景:美国约有 12% 的人口患有行动不便症;女性在行动不便者中所占比例较高。与非残疾人相比,行动不便者的自杀风险更高。在过去二十年中,女性使用枪支自杀的人数有所增加。本研究旨在描述和探讨行动不便女性与非行动不便女性持枪自杀前的重要环境变量(如社会人口学、健康指标等):这是对国家暴力死亡报告系统限制访问数据库中的叙述性数据进行的二次比较和回顾性分析。通过文本挖掘和人工审核确定了行动不便者,随后对其进行了总结性的内容分析。采用皮尔逊/费舍尔 X2 或 t 检验来评估行动不便者与非行动不便者之间的环境变量差异:结果:在持枪自杀的女性死者中,行动不便者通常年龄较大(p结论:在年龄、就业状况、抑郁情绪、人际关系问题和身体疼痛等方面,有行动障碍的女性持枪自杀者可能有别于无行动障碍的自杀者。这些变量作为持枪自杀的独立风险因素的重要性可通过前瞻性研究设计进行检验,进而为制定有针对性或兼顾残疾问题的预防策略提供信息。
Circumstantial variables preceding firearm suicide among females with and without mobility disability in the USA: comparative analysis using data from the National Violent Death Reporting System.
Background: Mobility disability impacts approximately 12% of the US population; females are overrepresented among persons with mobility disability. Those with mobility disability are at increased risk of suicide compared with their non-disabled counterparts. Suicide using a firearm has increased among females in the last two decades. This study aims to describe and explore significant circumstantial variables (eg, socio-demographic, health indicators) preceding firearm suicide among females with mobility disability as compared with females without mobility disability.
Methods: This is a secondary comparative, retrospective analysis of the narrative data from the National Violent Death Reporting System Restricted Access Database. Persons with mobility disability were identified through text mining and manual review and subsequently analysed with a summative form of content analysis. Pearson/Fisher's X2 or t-tests were used to assess differences in the circumstantial variables between those with and without mobility disabilities.
Results: Among female firearm suicide decedents, persons with mobility disability were more commonly older (p<0.001), identified as a homemaker (p<0.001), were perceived to be in a depressed mood before death (p<0.05), had a history of suicidal thoughts (p<0.05) and were perceived to have physical pain (p<0.001); they less commonly had relationship problems (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Females with mobility disability who die by firearm suicide may be differentiated from suicide decedents without mobility disability by age, employment status, depressive mood, relationship problems and physical pain. The significance of these variables as independent risk factors for firearm suicide may be tested with prospective study designs, which in turn may inform the development of targeted or disability-inclusive prevention strategies.
