Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Suicidal ambivalence is considered a characteristic condition of suicidal individuals. At the same time, there is a lack of a uniform definition, conception and assessment of suicidal ambivalence. On this background, the current scoping review aims to explore the extent, range, and nature of research activity on suicidal ambivalence and to summarize research findings.
METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in four different databases (PubMed, Psychinfo, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) using an array of search terms (e.g., ambivalence, internal suicide debate, reasons for living and reasons for dying, wish to live and wish to die).
RESULTS: In total, 28 articles published between 1977 and 2023 were included in the scoping review. The study situation lacks a clear definition, conceptualization and operationalization of suicidal ambivalence. Nonetheless, suicidal ambivalence is a common experience in persons contemplating suicide and suicidal ambivalence seems to be present before, during and after a suicide attempt. Suicidal ambivalence is associated with diverse markers of negative/positive mental health as well as suicidal ideation and behavior.
CONCLUSIONS: Results point to the relevance of suicidal ambivalence. At the same time, there are large gaps in knowledge about the development, impact and therapeutic responsiveness of suicidal ambivalence.

摘要：
背景：自杀矛盾心理被认为是自杀个体的特征状态。同时,缺乏统一的定义，自杀矛盾心理的概念和评估。在这个背景下,当前的范围审查旨在探讨范围，范围,以及自杀矛盾心理研究活动的性质，并总结研究结果。
方法：在四个不同的数据库中进行了系统的文献检索（PubMed，Psychinfo,WebofScience,和谷歌学者)使用一系列搜索词(例如，矛盾心理,内部自杀辩论,生活的原因和死亡的原因，希望生活和希望死亡)。
结果：总计，1977年至2023年发表的28篇文章被纳入范围审查。研究情况缺乏明确的定义，自杀矛盾的概念化和操作化。尽管如此，自杀矛盾是一个常见的经验，在人考虑自杀和自杀矛盾似乎存在之前，在自杀未遂期间和之后。自杀矛盾情绪与消极/积极心理健康以及自杀意念和行为的不同标志有关。
结论：结果指出自杀矛盾的相关性。同时,关于发展的知识存在很大差距，自杀矛盾心理的影响和治疗反应。
