The most common method of suicide in Poland is hanging, especially among men. However, women tend to overdose on medications to commit suicide. Considering suicide attempts, poisoning, which involves overdosing various substances, is the most commonly used method. The purpose of the present study was to analyze suicide attempts by intoxication, suicides, and substances that influenced the state of consciousness of suicide victims in Poland in the years covered by the study.
A descriptive analysis was made based on the data obtained from the registers of the General Police Headquarters of Poland and the Statistics Poland for the years 1999-2020.
During the 21-year study period, 161,655 cases of suicide attempts were recorded in Poland, 106,169 of which resulted in suicides. Results showed that out of 14,660 self-poisoning suicide attempts, there were 2258 cases of suicide poisoning deaths in the analyzed study period. According to the data of the General Police Headquarters of Poland, the total number of suicides of all causes was 106,169. Self-poisoning suicides accounted for 2.1% of all cases of suicides.
Due to the distribution of suicide registration systems in Poland, data available in this area should be interpreted with caution.
波兰最常见的自杀方式是上吊,尤其是男性。然而,女性倾向于服用过量药物自杀。考虑到自杀企图,涉及过量服用各种物质的中毒是最常用的方法。本研究的目的是分析波兰在研究期间涉及意识状态的中毒自杀企图、自杀和影响自杀者的物质。
基于从波兰总警察局登记处和波兰统计局获得的数据进行描述性分析,时间跨度为 1999 年至 2020 年。
在 21 年的研究期间,波兰共记录了 161655 例自杀企图,其中 106169 例导致自杀。结果表明,在 14660 例自我中毒自杀企图中,分析期间有 2258 例自杀中毒死亡。根据波兰总警察局的数据,所有原因导致的自杀总数为 106169 例。自我中毒自杀占所有自杀案例的 2.1%。
由于波兰自杀登记系统的分布,应谨慎解释该领域的可用数据。
