Suicide, as one of the greatest problems of maladjustment to the military environment, has been a subject of investigation in the Army of Serbia and Montenegro (former Yugoslav Army) for more than six decades. The Suicide Prevention Program was implemented in December 2003. The aim of the study was to follow-up the application of the Suicide Prevention Program in the Army of Serbia and Montenegro and its effect on the suicide rate and to compare its incidence in civilians. Results of the program application showed that the number of suicides in the Army of Serbia and Montenegro was constantly reducing over the period 2004 to 2005. For soldiers, it was even four times less than in the civilian male population, particularly in the period of adaptation to the military environment. Since the Suicide Prevention Program in the Army of Serbia and Montenegro proved to be successful in decreasing the suicide number, it should be further improved and routinely applied.
自杀作为适应军事环境方面最严重的问题之一,在塞尔维亚和黑山军队(前南斯拉夫军队)中已成为六十多年来的调查课题。自杀预防计划于2003年12月实施。该研究的目的是跟踪塞尔维亚和黑山军队中自杀预防计划的实施情况及其对自杀率的影响,并比较其在平民中的发生率。计划实施结果表明,2004年至2005年期间,塞尔维亚和黑山军队中的自杀人数持续减少。对于士兵而言,这一数字甚至比平民男性人口少四倍,尤其是在适应军事环境期间。由于塞尔维亚和黑山军队的自杀预防计划在减少自杀人数方面被证明是成功的,因此应进一步改进并常规应用。
