The study focuses on biographic and social aspects including illness behaviour of psychiatric in-patients who committed suicide in weekend leave.
The authors undertake a retrospective qualitative analysis of 14 cases of inpatient suicide.
11 of 14 patients had been confronted during their weekend leaves with a milieu full of emotional conflicts with their spouses, parents or children. These conflicts had been of considerable subjective significance for the patients, who often experienced feelings of guilt and failure in their relations.
Weekend leave of psychiatric inpatients is to be considered as a risk factor for suicide, a risk that must be taken into account before sending a patient home for the weekend.
该研究聚焦于传记和社会层面,包括在周末休假时自杀的精神科住院患者的患病行为。
作者对14例住院患者自杀案例进行了回顾性定性分析。
14例患者中有11例在周末休假期间与配偶、父母或子女面临充满情感冲突的环境。这些冲突对患者具有相当大的主观意义,患者在人际关系中常常感到内疚和失败。
精神科住院患者的周末休假应被视为自杀的一个风险因素,在让患者回家度周末之前必须考虑到这一风险。
