在美国,四分之一的杀人自杀死亡是儿童。电影自杀,涉及父母或照顾者肇事者的杀人自杀子集,是涉及儿童的最常见的杀人自杀形式。虽然这些事件有重大影响,研究导致这些事件的可改变因素的研究相对较少。
这项研究的目的是确定自杀自杀死亡的环境模式和影响因素,关注男性和女性肇事者之间的个人和人际差异。
这项研究利用了国家暴力死亡报告系统(NVDRS)的数据,其中包括2013年至2015年间在美国32个州向NVDRS报告的76起自杀事件。
我们进行了定性的内容分析,它是在Marzuk中接地的,Tardiff,和赫希(1992)框架。我们回顾了自杀-自杀叙述,并就自杀-自杀叙述中出现的代码或主题进行了对话。根据需要添加了其他代码,并对叙述进行追溯编码,以确保代码得到一致应用。
关系冲突和心理健康问题在男性和女性犯罪者中很常见,但是这些因素的表现差异很大。对于女性肇事者来说,关系冲突,心理健康问题,和儿童的慢性健康问题通常共同发生。相比之下,关系冲突,暴力史,和暴力的后果(例如,法律问题,工作问题)更常见于男性肇事者中。
自杀-自杀是可预防的暴力行为,有许多促成因素。我们的发现强调了预防努力以识别人际交往经验的必要性,尤其是男性和女性犯罪者之间的差异。
One-quarter of homicide-suicide deaths in the U.S. are children. Filicide-suicide, a subset of homicide-suicide involving parent or caregiver perpetrators, is the most common form of homicide-suicide involving children. While these incidents have significant impacts, relatively few studies examine modifiable factors that contribute to these incidents.
The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of circumstances and contributing factors for filicide-suicide deaths, focusing on the individual and interpersonal differences between male and female perpetrators.
This study utilized data from the National Violent Deaths Reporting System (NVDRS), which included 76 filicide-suicide incidents reported to NVDRS in 32 U.S. states between 2013 and 2015.
We conducted a qualitative content analysis, which was grounded in the Marzuk, Tardiff, and Hirsch (1992) framework. We reviewed the filicide-suicide narratives and engaged in conversations about codes or themes that emerged for the filicide-suicide narratives. Additional codes were added as needed, and narratives were retroactively coded to ensure codes were consistently applied.
Relationship conflict and mental health issues were common among male and female perpetrators, but the manifestation of these factors differed greatly. For female perpetrators, relationship conflict, mental health issues, and children\'s chronic health issues commonly co-occurred. In contrast, relationship conflict, history of violence, and consequences of violence (e.g., legal issues, job problems) more commonly co-occurred among male perpetrators.
Filicide-suicides are preventable acts of violence with numerous contributing factors. Our findings highlight the need for prevention efforts to recognize interpersonal experiences, particularly differences between male and female perpetrators.
