To describe the characteristics of the suicide attempts attended in a health district over 10 years (June 1989 to December 1998).
Cross-sectional, descriptive study.
Primary care, rural health district.Patients. Everyone attended after a suicide attempt (55 cases).
Data of the following variables were obtained from the legal reports: sex, age, place of residence, prognosis, means used and year of attempt. 51% were women and 49% men. Average age was 34.07, SD 3.82. 96% occurred in the health district. 38% had light prognosis, 49% serious, 7% very serious and 4% uncertain. The means used was ingestion of drugs in 44% of cases. 72% of the attempts occurred in the last 5 years.
There were no differences between the sexes. Most of the patients were under 35. Drug overdose was the method of choice. Suicide attempts are on the up. Primary care authorities and doctors need to become more conscious of potentially suicidal conduct.
描述一个健康区10年间(1989年6月至1998年12月)自杀未遂事件的特征。
横断面描述性研究。
农村健康区的初级保健机构。患者:所有自杀未遂后前来就诊的人(55例)。
从法律报告中获取以下变量的数据:性别、年龄、居住地、预后、自杀方式及自杀年份。51%为女性,49%为男性。平均年龄为34.07岁,标准差为3.82。96%的事件发生在该健康区。38%预后较轻,49%严重,7%非常严重,4%不确定。44%的病例自杀方式为服药过量。72%的自杀未遂事件发生在过去5年。
两性之间无差异。大多数患者年龄在35岁以下。药物过量是首选的自杀方式。自杀未遂事件呈上升趋势。初级保健机构及医生需要更加关注潜在的自杀行为。
