Abstract

Objectives: Although suicide is a major public health problem, little research has addressed factors linked to suicide risk in U.S. Asian ethnic subgroups, including the U.S. Chinese population. In this study, we investigate the relationship between racial discrimination and suicidal ideation among Chinese immigrants in the U.S., as well as the mediating and moderating role of coping.

Method: This is a secondary analysis of online survey data from 501 Chinese immigrants in the U.S. Perceived racial discrimination and problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidant coping were measured. Mediation and moderation analyses were conducted to determine whether the three types of coping served as mediators or moderators between racism and suicidal ideation.

Results: Chinese immigrants who perceived racial discrimination were more likely to engage in suicidal ideation (OR = 1.38, 95% CI [1.05, 1.81]). Greater use of problem-focused coping was associated with decreased risk of suicidal ideation (OR = 0.38, 95% CI [0.26, 0.54]). The interaction of racial discrimination and problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidant coping did not significantly predict suicidal ideation (p > .05), but the mediating effects of emotion-focused and avoidant coping were significant.

Conclusions: Greater attention should be paid to the detrimental effects of racial discrimination on suicidal ideation among Chinese immigrants. A focus on strengthening problem-focused coping and reducing emotion-focused and avoidant coping among Chinese immigrants should lead to effective suicide prevention strategies.

中国移民的种族歧视、应对方式和自杀意念。

研究目的：虽然自杀是一个重大的公共卫生问题，但很少有研究涉及与美国亚裔亚群（包括美国华人）自杀风险相关的因素。在本研究中，我们调查了美国华人移民中种族歧视与自杀意念之间的关系，以及应对措施的中介和调节作用：本研究对来自 501 名美国华人移民的在线调查数据进行了二次分析，测量了他们对种族歧视的感知以及问题应对、情绪应对和回避应对。我们进行了中介分析和调节分析，以确定这三种应对方式在种族主义和自杀意念之间是否起到中介或调节作用：结果：认为受到种族歧视的中国移民更有可能产生自杀倾向（OR = 1.38，95% CI [1.05，1.81]）。更多地采用以问题为中心的应对方式与自杀倾向风险的降低有关（OR = 0.38，95% CI [0.26，0.54]）。种族歧视与以问题为中心的应对方式、以情绪为中心的应对方式和回避型应对方式的交互作用对自杀意念的预测并不显著（P > .05），但以情绪为中心的应对方式和回避型应对方式的中介效应显著：结论：应更加关注种族歧视对中国移民自杀倾向的不利影响。重点加强华裔移民的问题应对，减少情绪应对和回避应对，应有助于制定有效的自杀预防策略。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
