The rates and associated features of suicidal ideation among 5,641 patients seeking routine, nonsuicide related care in an inner-city emergency department were examined. Approximately 8% of patients seeking routine care in the emergency department reported some form of suicidal ideation within the past 2 weeks. Suicidal ideation was common in individuals who were single with poorer mental health, had higher depression, and had received some drug or alcohol treatment in the past 3 months or had used cocaine or marijuana in the past 30 days. Improved screening procedures could help to identify routine care patients who are at risk for suicide.
研究了 5641 名在市区急诊室寻求常规非自杀相关治疗的患者中自杀意念的发生率和相关特征。大约 8%的在急诊室寻求常规治疗的患者报告在过去 2 周内有某种形式的自杀意念。在过去 3 个月接受过药物或酒精治疗或过去 30 天内使用过可卡因或大麻的单身且心理健康较差、抑郁程度较高的个体中，自杀意念较为常见。改进的筛选程序可以帮助识别有自杀风险的常规护理患者。
