Abstract

Suicide among women is a growing problem in Trinidad and Tobago. Despite efforts to reduce suicide, the etiology of suicidal behaviors in this region has rarely been examined. Using the National Women's Health Survey for Trinidad and Tobago in 2018 (n = 1,079), this study examined the causes of suicidality through concepts contained in Agnew's general strain theory, such as negative stimuli (i.e., intimate partner violence [IPV]) and negative emotion (i.e., depression). By estimating structural equation models, this study found that IPV was strongly related to depression and suicidality. Particularly, depression mediated the effect of IPV on suicidality.

亲密伴侣暴力与自杀：特立尼达和多巴哥妇女的一般应变理论适用性》。

在特立尼达和多巴哥，妇女自杀问题日益严重。尽管该地区努力减少自杀现象，但却很少对自杀行为的病因进行研究。本研究利用2018年特立尼达和多巴哥全国妇女健康调查（n = 1,079），通过阿格纽的一般应变理论中包含的概念，如负面刺激（即亲密伴侣暴力[IPV]）和负面情绪（即抑郁），研究了自杀的原因。通过估计结构方程模型，本研究发现亲密伴侣暴力与抑郁和自杀密切相关。尤其是，抑郁在 IPV 对自杀倾向的影响中起中介作用。
