摘要

目的：在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，美国黑人成年人的自杀率在全国范围内有所上升，尽管有限的经验证据证明了解释这一人群中自杀风险如何发展的途径。我们研究了非组织的宗教参与、感恩和孤独的经历，以及它们与美国黑人成人自杀意念的关系。方法：我们分析了基于概率的995名美国黑人成年人样本的数据，这些样本于2022年4月至6月完成了在线调查。我们从国家民意研究中心的AmeriSpeak小组中招募了参与者。我们应用结构方程建模技术来测量宗教信仰、积极心理学和心理健康变量之间的直接和间接关联。我们测试了在大流行期间，非组织的宗教信仰是否通过感恩的感觉和covid -19特有的孤独形式与自杀意念间接相关。结果：测量模型与数据拟合较好。结构模型结果显示，非组织性宗教涉入与感恩正相关(β = 0.51；p = .02)。此外，covid -19特有的孤独形式与过去一年的自杀意念呈正相关(β = 0.11；p = 0.01)。然而，非组织性的宗教参与与covid -19相关的孤独感或自杀意念没有直接关系。结论：公共卫生官员应该考虑到感恩和孤独的感觉，作为可以利用的机制，在诸如COVID-19大流行等公共卫生紧急情况期间，为黑人成年人制定循证自杀预防干预措施提供信息。

Measuring Whether Gratitude and Loneliness Mediate the Link Between Non-organizational Religiosity and Suicidal Ideation: Evidence From Black Adults During COVID-19.

Objectives: Suicides among Black adults in the United States increased nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic, although limited empirical evidence documents the pathways that explain how suicide risk may develop in this population. We examined experiences of non-organizational religious involvement, gratitude, and loneliness and their relation to suicidal ideation among Black adults in the United States.

Methods: We analyzed data from a probability-based sample of 995 Black adults in the United States who completed online surveys from April through June 2022. We recruited participants from the AmeriSpeak panel at the National Opinion Research Center. We applied structural equation modeling techniques to measure direct and indirect associations among religiosity, positive psychology, and mental health variables. We tested whether non-organizational religiosity was indirectly associated with suicidal ideation via feelings of gratitude and COVID-19-specific forms of loneliness during the pandemic.

Results: The measurement model demonstrated a good fit to the data. Structural model results indicated that non-organizational religious involvement was positively related to gratitude (β = 0.51; P < .001); in turn, feelings of gratitude were associated with reduced suicidal ideation (β = -0.12; P = .02). Moreover, COVID-19-specific forms of loneliness were positively associated with past-year suicidal ideation (β = 0.11; P = .01). Non-organizational religious involvement, however, was not directly associated with feelings of COVID-19-related loneliness or suicidal ideation.

Conclusions: Public health officials should account for feelings of gratitude and loneliness as mechanisms that can be leveraged to inform the development of evidence-based suicide prevention interventions for Black adults during public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
