BACKGROUND
Prevention of suicide is one of the most important issues of community medicine in the world. Because of high accessibility of people to different drugs in our society, one of the easiest ways of suicide is intentional self-poisoning. In this study, demographic factors and health status of the patients with intentional self-poisoning were evaluated.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted in the poisoning referral center on 384 patients aged 15-40 years who committed intentional self-poisoning. Information was gathered using two questionnaires about demographic characteristics and the general health status of the patients.
RESULTS
70.5% of the patients had easy accessibility to drugs. Most of the patients were women (62.5%) and single (51%). History of psychological disease was demonstrated in 82.5% of patients. In terms of general health status, the most common problems were social dysfunction (97.57%) and depression (88.9%).
CONCLUSION
Easy accessibility to drugs and psychological problems may increase the risk of intentional self-poisoning. Being religious and the consequent hopefulness may have a positive protecting effect for the prevention of intentional self-poisoning.
背景
预防自杀是全球社区医学最重要的问题之一。由于在我们的社会中人们能够轻易获取不同药物，自杀最简便的方式之一就是故意自我中毒。在本研究中，对故意自我中毒患者的人口统计学因素和健康状况进行了评估。
方法
在中毒转诊中心对384名年龄在15至40岁之间的故意自我中毒患者进行了一项横断面研究。使用两份关于患者人口统计学特征和总体健康状况的问卷收集信息。
结果
70.5%的患者能够轻易获取药物。大多数患者为女性（62.5%）且未婚（51%）。82.5%的患者有心理疾病史。就总体健康状况而言，最常见的问题是社会功能障碍（97.57%）和抑郁（88.9%）。
结论
轻易获取药物和心理问题可能会增加故意自我中毒的风险。有宗教信仰以及由此产生的希望感可能对预防故意自我中毒具有积极的保护作用。
