To investigate the rate and method of attempted suicides in a catchment area in Turkey as part of the WHO-EURO Multicentre Study on Suicidal Behaviour.
All hospitals in the catchment area were screened to identify suicide attempts for 4 years between January 1, 1998, and December 31, 2001.
In the 4-year period, 737 individuals attempted suicide (514 women and 223 men). The mean annual rate per 100,000 was 46.89 for men and 112.89 for women. The parasuicide rate increased by 93.59% between 1998 and 2001. The most frequent method used by both men and women was self-poisoning.
Compared with the results from other European research centres, attempted suicide rates in Turkey were relatively low. However, the increase in rates was striking. This upward trend may be related to the intense economic difficulties, increasing unemployment, and rapid social change experienced in Turkey in recent years. The risk groups appeared to be younger and female.
作为世界卫生组织欧洲区域办事处关于自杀行为的多中心研究的一部分，调查土耳其某集水区的自杀未遂率及方法。
对集水区内所有医院进行筛查，以确定1998年1月1日至2001年12月31日这4年间的自杀未遂情况。
在这4年期间，有737人自杀未遂（514名女性和223名男性）。男性每10万人的年均发生率为46.89，女性为112.89。1998年至2001年间，准自杀率上升了93.59%。男性和女性最常使用的方法都是自我中毒。
与其他欧洲研究中心的结果相比，土耳其的自杀未遂率相对较低。然而，发生率的上升很显著。这种上升趋势可能与土耳其近年来经历的严重经济困难、失业率上升和快速的社会变革有关。风险群体似乎是年轻人和女性。
