The effects of current and expected future climate change on mental health outcomes are of increasing concern. In this context, the importance of meteorological factors on suicidal behavior is receiving growing attention in research.
Systematic review article with qualitative synthesis of the currently available literature, looking at the association between meteorological variables and attempted and completed suicide.
Criteria-based, systematic literature search according to the PRISMA criteria. Peer-reviewed original research studies were included without time limits.
A total of 99 studies were included and grouped according to the research analysis based on daily, weekly, monthly and annual data. The majority of the studies reported a statistical association with at least one meteorological variable. The most consistent positive correlation was shown between temperature and suicidal behavior. However, the results are not conclusive and in part contradictory. The reported studies differed distinctively in terms of study design. Meteorological parameters may be associated with suicidal behavior. Future research in this area is needed to provide further clarity. Despite existing knowledge gaps, the current findings may have implications for suicide prevention plans.
当前及预期未来气候变化对心理健康结果的影响日益受到关注。在此背景下,气象因素对自杀行为的重要性在研究中受到越来越多的关注。
对现有文献进行定性综合的系统综述文章,探讨气象变量与自杀未遂及自杀死亡之间的关联。
根据PRISMA标准进行基于标准的系统文献检索。纳入无时间限制的同行评审原始研究。
共纳入99项研究,并根据基于每日、每周、每月和每年数据的研究分析进行分组。大多数研究报告了与至少一个气象变量的统计关联。温度与自杀行为之间呈现出最一致的正相关。然而,结果并不确凿,部分相互矛盾。报告的研究在研究设计方面存在显著差异。气象参数可能与自杀行为有关。该领域需要进一步的研究以提供更清晰的结果。尽管存在知识空白,但当前的研究结果可能对自杀预防计划有启示作用。
