Suicide has constituted a critical public health problem for many decades. The number of completed suicide is traditionally high in Iran. The objective of the present study was to describe the patterns of methods of suicide among registered deaths due to suicide in Hamada, western Iran.
In this cross-sectional study, all completed suicide cases (n=146) were included from March 2004 through March 2005 based on Hamadan's Forensic center registered deaths because of suicide. Supplementary data were gauged through a questionnaire from the attempters’ relatives. All statistical analyses were performed using version 13 of the statistical software package SPSS and an alpha level of .05 for all statistical tests.
Prevalence of completed suicide was 8.3 per 100,000 in Hamadan, Iran. From 146 cases, the male-to-female ratio was 7.1:1. Average age of cases was 33.9 yr (Min=10, Max=94) across all age groups, males show consistently higher completed suicide rates than females. Of the 69.2% were from urban population versus 30.8% form rural population. The most common method of suicide was hanging (78.1 %). Other common methods were poisoning (11.6%), and self-burning (6.2%).
Suicide rate in Hamadan is high among males through hanging which can be due tosubstance dependency and unemployment.
几十年来，自杀一直是一个严重的公共卫生问题。在伊朗，传统上自杀死亡人数一直居高不下。本研究的目的是描述伊朗西部哈马丹登记的自杀死亡案例中的自杀方式模式。
在这项横断面研究中，纳入了2004年3月至2005年3月期间哈马丹法医中心登记的所有自杀死亡案例（n = 146）。通过对未遂者亲属进行问卷调查来收集补充数据。所有统计分析均使用统计软件包SPSS 13版进行，所有统计检验的α水平为0.05。
伊朗哈马丹的自杀死亡患病率为每10万人8.3例。在146例案例中，男女比例为7.1:1。所有年龄组的案例平均年龄为33.9岁（最小 = 10岁，最大 = 94岁），男性的自杀死亡率始终高于女性。其中69.2%来自城市人口，30.8%来自农村人口。最常见的自杀方式是上吊（78.1%）。其他常见方式是中毒（11.6%）和自焚（6.2%）。
哈马丹男性通过上吊的自杀率很高，这可能是由于物质依赖和失业。
