Psychological autopsy studies have been widely used to identify the cause of suicide. However, gender is one of the most frequently replicated predictors for suicide. To identify further the significant risk factors for suicide among males and females separately.
Data were obtained from The Turkish-Istanbul Forensic Medicine Institute Morgue Department for all suicides deaths from April to August 2002 in Istanbul. 124 completed suicides were included in the study.
This study findings suggest that unemployed, not married or in a de facto relationship, previous suicide attempt, and alcohol or substance abuse were common amongst those who died by suicide. Most of the victims were male; the most frequent suicide methods were hanging and jumping down a high building followed by firearms. Both males and females were most frequently affected by psychiatric disorders. It was found that 108 cases that did not receive psychiatric care attempted suicide for the first time and committed suicide.
This finding suggests that suicides should be investigated by an expert team and not by the police and victims' relatives only to determine whether they are really suicides or not.
心理尸检研究已被广泛用于确定自杀的原因。然而，性别是自杀最常被重复预测的因素之一。为了进一步确定男性和女性自杀的显著风险因素。
数据来自 2002 年 4 月至 8 月期间伊斯坦布尔土耳其法医研究所停尸房部门所有自杀死亡的情况。本研究共纳入 124 例完成自杀的病例。
本研究结果表明，失业、未婚或处于事实婚姻关系、有过自杀未遂史以及酗酒或滥用药物在自杀死亡者中较为常见。大多数受害者为男性；最常见的自杀方式是上吊和从高楼跳下，其次是使用枪支。男女患者均受精神障碍的影响最为常见。研究发现，有 108 例没有接受精神科治疗的患者首次尝试自杀并自杀身亡。
这一发现表明，应该由专家小组而不是警察和受害者家属来调查自杀事件，以确定他们是否真的是自杀。
