Suicide within the construction industry in Queensland, Australia was reportedly high in a recent Royal Commission report. The current study examined the incidence and causes of suicide in this industry using psychological autopsy and focus group investigations. A total of 64 male suicides occurred over the seven-year period, representing a crude suicide rate of 40.3 per 100,000, significantly greater than the working age Australian male rate. Young employees were at excessive risk with separation/divorce, relationship problems, and untreated psychiatric conditions the major contributors. Focus groups emphasized the importance of work/home interface factors and industry-specific factors preceding suicide.
据澳大利亚昆士兰州近期的一份皇家委员会报告称，该州建筑业的自杀率很高。本研究通过心理解剖和焦点小组调查，对该行业自杀的发生率及原因进行了考察。在这七年期间，共发生了64起男性自杀事件，粗自杀率为每10万人中有40.3人自杀，显著高于澳大利亚工作年龄男性的自杀率。年轻员工面临的风险过高，分居/离婚、人际关系问题以及未治疗的精神疾病是主要促成因素。焦点小组强调了工作/家庭界面因素以及自杀前特定行业因素的重要性。
