Different psychosocial factors might have an impact on suicidal behaviour and evidence shows that there may be an association between monthly, diurnal and circadian changes and suicidal behaviours.
In the present study we analysed retrospectively records of 2232 youth, who were treated in emergency units of state hospitals in Istanbul/Turkey after attempting suicide.
The majority of the suicide attempters were females (81.6%). In both sexes, suicide attempts most frequently occurred at the beginning of the calendar week and between evening and midnight.
This study shows that suicide attempts in youth follow diurnal and circadian changes. As suicide attempts of youth most frequently occurred at the beginning of the calendar week and between evening and midnight, health services such as specialized counselling for youth should especially be available during this time.
不同的社会心理因素可能会对自杀行为产生影响，且有证据表明，月度、昼夜及昼夜节律变化与自杀行为之间可能存在关联。
在本研究中，我们回顾性分析了2232名青少年的记录，这些青少年在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的国立医院急诊科因自杀未遂接受治疗。
大多数自杀未遂者为女性（81.6%）。在两性中，自杀未遂最常发生在日历周开始时以及傍晚至午夜之间。
本研究表明，青少年自杀未遂行为遵循昼夜及昼夜节律变化。由于青少年自杀未遂最常发生在日历周开始时以及傍晚至午夜之间，因此在此期间应特别提供诸如针对青少年的专业咨询等医疗服务。
