PROBLEM
Suicide incidences among adolescents and youths during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdowns have been reported across the world. However, no studies have been carried out to investigate cumulative nature, patterns, and causative factors of such suicide incidences.
METHODS
A purposive sampling of Google news between 15 February and 6 July was performed. After excluding duplicate reports, the final list comprised a total of 37-suicide cases across 11 countries.
FINDINGS
More male suicides were reported (21-cases, i.e., 56.76%), and the mean age of the total victims was 16.6 ± 2.7 years (out of a total of 29 cases). About two-thirds of the suicides were from three countries named India (11-cases), UK (8-cases), and the USA (6-cases). Out of 23-student victims, 14 were school-going students. Hanging was the most common suicide method accounting in 51.4% of cases. The most common suicide causalities were related to mental sufferings such as depression, loneliness, psychological distress, and so forth, whereas either online schooling or overwhelming academic distress was placed as the second most suicide stressors followed by TikTok addiction-related psychological distress, and tested with the COVID-19.
CONCLUSIONS
The finding of the temporal distribution of suicides concerning lockdowns may help in exploring and evolving public measures to prevent/decrease pandemic-related suicides in young people.
问题
在 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）封锁期间，世界各地都报告了青少年和青年的自杀事件。然而，尚未进行研究来调查此类自杀事件的累积性质、模式和原因。
方法
在 2 月 15 日至 7 月 6 日期间，对谷歌新闻进行了有意抽样。在排除重复报告后，最终名单共包括来自 11 个国家的 37 例自杀案例。
结果
报告的男性自杀案例更多（21 例，即 56.76%），总受害者的平均年龄为 16.6±2.7 岁（共 29 例）。约三分之二的自杀案例来自三个国家，分别是印度（11 例）、英国（8 例）和美国（6 例）。在 23 名学生受害者中，有 14 人是在校学生。上吊是最常见的自杀方法，占 51.4%的案例。最常见的自杀原因与抑郁、孤独、心理困扰等精神痛苦有关，而在线学校教育或学业压力过大被列为其次的自杀压力源，其次是与 TikTok 成瘾相关的心理困扰，并且与 COVID-19 相关。
结论
关于封锁期间自杀事件的时间分布的发现可能有助于探索和制定公共措施，以防止/减少大流行期间年轻人的自杀事件。
