SP - 628 EP - 630 VL - 30 IS - 6 N2 - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between early trauma experience and depression and suicidal tendency of patients with depression.

METHODS: Four hundred and forty-one patients with depression (depression group) and 154 healthy controls (control group) were enrolled. Early Trauma Inventory-Short Form was adopted to assess the early trauma experience, and Beck Depressive Inventory (BDI) was employed to evaluate the suicidal tendency of patients with depression. Mann-Whitney nonparametric test and Binary Logistic regression analysis were performed to explore the association between early trauma and depression and suicidal tendency of patients with depression.

RESULTS: There was significant difference in the score of emotional abuse between depression group and control group (P < 0.001). Score of emotional abuse (β = 0.410, P < 0.001) and total scores of BDI (β = 0.134, P < 0.001) were included in the ultimate regression equation, and the predictive efficiency of the equation was 81.1%.

CONCLUSION: Patients with depression have more early emotional abuse experience. Early emotional abuse experience is associated with suicidal tendency of patients with depression, and can increase the risk of suicide.
