Abstract

433 medical and mental health institutions in the Netherlands took part in an investigation into the incidence of suicide and suicide attempts in children. The investigation is also concerned with the form that suicidal behaviour takes and an attempt is made to identify demographic and social characteristics of the children involved. The results show that suicide attempts do not constitute a very large problem in children aged 5-14; attempts hardly occur at all in children under the age of 11, but the incidence increases with age. It is also clear that children who make suicide attempts live in a problematic background situation.

摘要

荷兰的433家医疗和心理健康机构参与了一项关于儿童自杀及自杀未遂发生率的调查。该调查还关注自杀行为的表现形式，并试图确定相关儿童的人口统计学和社会特征。结果表明，自杀未遂在5至14岁的儿童中并非一个非常严重的问题；11岁以下的儿童几乎完全没有自杀未遂情况，但发生率会随着年龄增长而上升。同样明显的是，有自杀未遂行为的儿童生活在有问题的背景环境中。
