This descriptive research was conducted to estimate the method of suicide and suicidal intent among hospitalised suicide attempters at Pakistan Ordinance Factory (POF) Hospital, Wah Cantt, from December 2012 to June 2013. Data were collected from 49 hospitalised suicide attempters through purposive sampling technique by using Suicidal Intent Scale. Majority of suicide attempters (92%) used self-poisoning as the method of suicide regardless of their gender, age, occupation, past medical history, past psychiatric history, and history of suicide and psychiatric illness in their families. Additionally, most of them (43%) reported high level of suicidal intent, while 16 (33%) reported medium suicidal intent and 12 (24%) reported mild suicidal intent. Keeping in view the fact that majority of suicide attempters used self-poisoning as a method and most of them reported high level of suicidal intent, it is important to plan preventive measures.
本描述性研究旨在评估2012年12月至2013年6月期间在瓦赫坎特巴基斯坦 Ordnance Factory（POF）医院住院的自杀未遂者的自杀方式和自杀意图。通过目的性抽样技术，使用自杀意图量表从49名住院自杀未遂者中收集数据。大多数自杀未遂者（92%）使用自我中毒作为自杀方式，无论其性别、年龄、职业、既往病史、既往精神病史以及家族中的自杀和精神疾病史如何。此外，他们中的大多数（43%）报告有高度自杀意图，16人（33%）报告有中度自杀意图，12人（24%）报告有轻度自杀意图。鉴于大多数自杀未遂者使用自我中毒作为方式，且大多数人报告有高度自杀意图，制定预防措施很重要。
