Limited research has been undertaken on suicide in developing countries. This paper aims to investigate characteristics of suicide attempts in Hamadan district of Iran.
A prospective study was conducted in all university hospitals in the Hamadan district of Iran and patients admitted for attempted suicides were included. All cases were assessed by psychiatrists and visited by two trained interns of Medicine.
The incidence rate per 100,000 persons of attempted suicides was 228.6 for males and 263.1 for females; moreover, 344.9 for rural areas and 222.7 for urban areas. The suicide attempt was the highest in the 15 to 24 age category for both sexes and regions.
Suicide is a complex, long-term outcome that requires multifaceted theoretical constructs for the appropriate study of its antecedents. Findings of this study along with other studies in Iran revealed that unemployed men, housewives, and rural women, high-school students, and those with a low level of education were at higher risk of suicidal behaviors.
在发展中国家,针对自杀的研究有限。本文旨在调查伊朗哈马丹地区自杀未遂的特征。
在伊朗哈马丹地区的所有大学医院开展了一项前瞻性研究,纳入因自杀未遂入院的患者。所有病例均由精神科医生评估,并由两名受过培训的医学实习生进行访视。
每10万人中自杀未遂的发生率,男性为228.6,女性为263.1;此外,农村地区为344.9,城市地区为222.7。在所有性别和地区中,15至24岁年龄组的自杀未遂率最高。
自杀是一个复杂的长期结果,需要多方面的理论架构来恰当研究其成因。本研究的结果以及伊朗的其他研究表明,失业男性、家庭主妇、农村女性、高中生以及教育程度低的人群自杀行为风险更高。
