Numerous studies have been conducted globally to assess the compliance level of newspapers with the World Health Organization's media guidelines for responsible suicide reporting. To identify and review such studies conducted in Muslim-majority countries between 2014 and 2022, we searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases. We identified 12 eligible studies from Pakistan ( = 4), Bangladesh ( = 2), Malaysia ( = 1), Indonesia ( = 1), Iraq ( = 1), Iran ( = 1), Nigeria ( = 1), and Egypt ( = 1). These studies indicated an overall lack of adherence to the guidelines. However, the level of nonadherence was particularly high in Pakistan. Effective suicide prevention programs may help in promoting responsible reporting of suicide.
全球范围内进行了大量研究，以评估报纸对世界卫生组织负责任自杀报道媒体指南的遵守程度。为了识别和审查 2014 年至 2022 年间在穆斯林占多数的国家进行的此类研究，我们检索了 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 数据库。我们从巴基斯坦（4 项研究）、孟加拉国（2 项研究）、马来西亚（1 项研究）、印度尼西亚（1 项研究）、伊拉克（1 项研究）、伊朗（1 项研究）、尼日利亚（1 项研究）和埃及（1 项研究）中确定了 12 项符合条件的研究。这些研究表明总体上不遵守这些准则。然而，在巴基斯坦，不遵守的程度尤其高。有效的自杀预防计划可能有助于促进负责任的自杀报道。
