Among the different research methods on suicide notes, the theoretical conceptual approach allows a particularly thorough understanding of the suicidal act. The present study focuses on 78 suicide notes collected in Geneva, Switzerland, between 2006 and 2014. The socio-demographic and medical data of the writers' notes were collected. The conceptual content of the notes was analyzed by two independent raters using the Leenaars method. The results showed that the concepts that appeared most frequently in the notes were: Inability to adjust, Rejection-aggression, Unbearable pain, and Ego. Very few differences were found in the conceptual content when stratified for age, gender, socio-economic status, or religion. This study confirms and complements the findings of similar studies on the content of suicide notes.
在不同的自杀遗言研究方法中,理论概念方法可以让我们对自杀行为有更深入的理解。本研究聚焦于 2006 年至 2014 年间在瑞士日内瓦收集的 78 封自杀遗言。我们收集了作者遗言的社会人口学和医学数据。通过 Leenaars 方法,两位独立的评估人员对遗言的概念内容进行了分析。结果表明,在遗言中出现频率最高的概念是:无法适应、拒绝-攻击、无法承受的痛苦和自我。在按年龄、性别、社会经济地位或宗教信仰分层时,在概念内容上几乎没有发现差异。这项研究证实并补充了关于自杀遗言内容的类似研究的发现。
