Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) and suicidality are common reasons for emergency presentations in child and adolescent psychiatry. Therefore, we focused on reasons for emergency presentations as well as specific characteristics of those presenting with NSSI or suicidality to an emergeny psychiatric service. We analyzed data from a German university hospital regarding emergency presentations during a 78 months' period. NSSI and suicidality were rated according to the Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA). Data from 546 emergency presentations was recorded, of which 347 (63.5%) presented for NSSI or suicidality. Given the high percentage, thorough assessment of sucidality as well as providing adequate treatment in emergency settings to establish further care, is of utmost importance.
非自杀性自伤(NSSI)和自杀倾向是儿童和青少年精神病学中急诊就诊的常见原因。因此,我们关注急诊就诊的原因以及向急诊精神科服务机构就诊的NSSI或有自杀倾向者的具体特征。我们分析了一家德国大学医院在78个月期间有关急诊就诊的数据。NSSI和自杀倾向根据哥伦比亚自杀评估分类算法(C-CASA)进行评定。记录了546例急诊就诊的数据,其中347例(63.5%)因NSSI或自杀倾向就诊。鉴于这一高比例,在急诊环境中对自杀倾向进行全面评估并提供适当治疗以建立进一步的护理至关重要。
