Abstract

BACKGROUND

Greece has been in the grip of a severe economic crisis since 2008. It is well known that suicide attempts and actual suicides increase during periods of recession and austerity. The main aim of this study was to examine the economic crisis in relation to recorded suicide attempts in Chania, Greece, from 2008 to 2015, also taking unemployment rates into consideration.

METHODS

During the research period from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2015, 436 suicide attempts (females: n = 305 and males: n = 131) were recorded in the archives of the General Hospital of Chania. The data collected, analyzed, and used in the present study were from the archives of the emergency outpatient unit of the hospital. The unemployment data are from the Hellenic Statistical Authority.

RESULTS

The rate of suicide attempts peaked in 2012 and remained relatively high until 2015. The most common suicide attempt method was poisoning by medication, with a percentage of 74.4%. In addition, the most prominent stressors related to the suicide attempts were family problems and relationship problems between couples: 40.2%. There was a statistically significant relationship between suicide attempts and unemployment rates (adjusted RR: 1.08; 95% CI, 1.07-1.09).

CONCLUSIONS

Severe economic crisis seems to increase the rates of suicide attempts. The need for more detailed investigation is essential to provide insight into this global problem.

摘要

背景

自2008年以来，希腊一直深陷严重的经济危机之中。众所周知，在经济衰退和紧缩时期，自杀未遂及实际自杀事件会有所增加。本研究的主要目的是考察2008年至2015年希腊干尼亚地区记录在案的自杀未遂事件与经济危机之间的关系，同时也将失业率纳入考量。

方法

在2008年1月1日至2015年12月31日的研究期间，干尼亚综合医院的档案中记录了436起自杀未遂事件（女性：n = 305，男性：n = 131）。本研究收集、分析和使用的数据来自该医院急诊门诊部门的档案。失业数据来自希腊统计局。

结果

自杀未遂率在2012年达到峰值，并一直保持在较高水平直至2015年。最常见的自杀未遂方式是服药中毒，占比74.4%。此外，与自杀未遂相关的最突出压力源是家庭问题和夫妻关系问题，占40.2%。自杀未遂与失业率之间存在统计学上的显著关系（调整后的相对风险：1.08；95%置信区间，1.07 - 1.09）。
