This study assesses the various socio-demographic correlates, the method adopted and the psychiatric disorders in patients with attempted suicide.Out of 208 cases presented to the hospital, one hundred individuals with suicide attempt were included in the present study. They were evaluated for socio-demographic profile and psychiatric illness on the basis of ICD-10 criteria.Analysis of the results showed that single males outnumbered single females, whereas married females outnumbered married males in suicidal attempt. The prevalence of suicidal attempt was high among males with psychiatric illness, whereas more female suicide attempters were without psychiatric illness. The most common psychiatric illnesses were found to be mood disorders (35%) and adjustment disorders (13%) as per the ICD-10 criteria. Family type, economic status and education levels appears to be playing non significant role in suicide attempt in this part of the country Marital status and psychiatric illnesses are playing important role in suicide attempt. Other demographic variables, though, were statistically non significant, but, below 30 years of age group, low socio-economic status, low education and nuclear families were found to be more vulnerable factors for suicide.
这项研究评估了各种社会人口统计学相关因素、采用的方法以及尝试自杀患者的精神障碍。在 208 例就诊的病例中，有 100 例自杀未遂者被纳入本研究。根据 ICD-10 标准，对他们的社会人口统计学特征和精神疾病进行了评估。结果分析显示，单身男性多于单身女性，而已婚女性多于已婚男性。有精神疾病的男性自杀未遂的发生率较高，而更多的女性自杀未遂者没有精神疾病。根据 ICD-10 标准，最常见的精神疾病是心境障碍（35%）和适应障碍（13%）。家庭类型、经济状况和教育水平似乎在该国的这一部分地区对自杀未遂没有起到重要作用。婚姻状况和精神疾病在自杀未遂中起着重要作用。其他人口统计学变量虽然在统计学上没有显著意义，但在 30 岁以下年龄组、社会经济地位较低、教育程度较低和核心家庭中，自杀的脆弱因素更多。
