There are few research studies from Arab countries on suicide since many cultural and religious factors influence reporting. The purpose of this study was to explore the correlates of near-fatal deliberate self-harm in Qatar. The study comprised a retrospective review of documented data of all patients with a suicide attempt admitted to the only Psychiatry Hospital in Qatar over a 12-month period. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the contributors to near-fatal deliberate self-harm. Out of 165 admissions with self-harm, 47 fulfilled criteria for near-fatal deliberate self-harm. The commonest methods were hanging followed by jumping from a height. The retrospective nature of the study meant a lot of valuable data was missing. Also, lethality scales were not used and thus could not be measured. Men over the age of 25 years, widowed or divorced, and/or with psychotic disorder were more likely to engage in near-fatal deliberate self-harm.
由于许多文化和宗教因素会影响报告，因此阿拉伯国家很少有关于自杀的研究。本研究旨在探讨卡塔尔近乎致命性故意自残的相关因素。该研究包括对卡塔尔唯一一家精神病医院在 12 个月期间收治的所有自杀未遂患者的有记录数据进行回顾性分析。使用逻辑回归分析评估导致近乎致命性故意自残的因素。在 165 例自残住院患者中，47 例符合近乎致命性故意自残的标准。最常见的方法是上吊，其次是从高处跳下。研究的回顾性性质意味着许多有价值的数据缺失。此外，没有使用致命性量表，因此无法进行测量。年龄在 25 岁以上、丧偶或离异、或患有精神障碍的男性更有可能进行近乎致命性的故意自残。
