The aim of this paper is to review the literature on suicide attempts in Malaysia. PsycINFO, PubMed, and Medline databases from 1845 to 2012 and detailed manual search of local official reports from the Ministry of Health and the Malaysian Psychiatric Association and unpublished dissertations from 3 local universities providing postgraduate psychiatric training were included in the current review. A total of 38 studies on suicide attempts in Malaysia were found and reviewed. Twenty-seven (76%) of the studies on suicide attempts were descriptive studies looking at sociodemographic data, psychiatric illnesses, and methods and reasons for suicide attempts. No study has been conducted on treatment and interventions for suicide attempts and the impact of culture was rarely considered. The review showed that in order for researchers, clinicians, and public health policy makers to obtain a better understanding of suicide attempts in Malaysia, more systematic and empirically stringent methodologies and research frameworks need to be used.
本文旨在综述马来西亚自杀未遂方面的文献。本次综述纳入了1845年至2012年的PsycINFO、PubMed和Medline数据库，以及对马来西亚卫生部和马来西亚精神科协会的地方官方报告进行的详细人工检索，还有来自3所提供研究生精神科培训的当地大学的未发表论文。共检索并综述了38项关于马来西亚自杀未遂的研究。其中27项（76%）自杀未遂研究为描述性研究，涉及社会人口统计学数据、精神疾病以及自杀未遂的方法和原因。尚未有关于自杀未遂治疗与干预的研究，且很少考虑文化的影响。综述表明，为使研究人员、临床医生和公共卫生政策制定者更好地了解马来西亚的自杀未遂情况，需要采用更系统、实证更严格的方法和研究框架。
