This Hungarian cross-sectional study examined patterns and differences in suicide risk factors across various suicidality groups, including individuals with single or multiple suicide attempts, as well as gender-specific variations. Additionally, it explored these risk factors within a biopsychosocial framework to offer a comprehensive understanding of their interconnected effects.
A total of 300 psychiatric inpatients were recruited from Péterfy Sandor Hospital in Budapest, Hungary, including 146 individuals (48.67%) with a history of suicide attempts and 154 (51.33%) without such a history. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 85 years, with a mean age of 37.98 years (SD = 12.80 for suicide attempters, 13.72 for non-attempters). The overall sample comprised 83 males (27.7%) and 217 females (72.3%). Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the influence of demographic characteristics, life history variables, and psychiatric diagnoses on suicide risk, aiming to identify significant predictors of suicide attempts within a biopsychosocial framework.
Depression was the most prevalent psychiatric diagnosis in the sample. Significant predictors of suicide attempts included family history of suicide (OR = 2.283, = 0.015), prescription drug misuse (OR = 1.900, = 0.047), and nicotine dependence (OR = 1.869, = 0.035). In repeated suicide attempts, bipolar disorder (OR = 5.761, = 0.006), borderline personality disorder (OR = 5.132, = 0.003), depression (OR = 4.064, = 0.004), and job loss (OR = 4.348, = 0.031) emerged as the strongest predictors. Among men, job loss (OR = 4.074, = 0.014) was a prominent risk factor, while among women, having two or more children (OR = 2.740, = 0.036) and a family history of suicide (OR = 2.459, = 0.028) significantly increased suicide risk. Relationship conflict was also associated with higher risk in women (OR = 0.382, = 0.035).
Our research supports the notion that suicide risk factors interact with one another, and in certain cases, their effects may be synergistic-mutually reinforcing-rather than antagonistic. Similarly, protective factors also appear to amplify each other's impact, suggesting a cumulative and interactive model of both risk and resilience.
这项匈牙利横断面研究考察了不同自杀倾向群体(包括有单次或多次自杀未遂经历的个体)的自杀风险因素模式及差异,以及性别特异性差异。此外,该研究在生物心理社会框架内探究了这些风险因素,以全面理解它们的相互关联效应。
从匈牙利布达佩斯的彼得菲·桑多尔医院招募了300名精神科住院患者,其中146人(48.67%)有自杀未遂史,154人(51.33%)无此类病史。参与者年龄在18至85岁之间,自杀未遂者的平均年龄为37.98岁(标准差=12.80),非自杀未遂者的平均年龄为37.98岁(标准差=13.72)。总体样本包括83名男性(27.7%)和217名女性(72.3%)。进行逻辑回归分析以评估人口统计学特征、生活史变量和精神科诊断对自杀风险的影响,旨在确定生物心理社会框架内自杀未遂的显著预测因素。
抑郁症是样本中最常见的精神科诊断。自杀未遂的显著预测因素包括自杀家族史(比值比=2.283,P=0.015)、处方药滥用(比值比=1.900,P=0.047)和尼古丁依赖(比值比=1.869,P=0.035)。在多次自杀未遂中,双相情感障碍(比值比=5.761,P=0.006)、边缘型人格障碍(比值比=5.132,P=0.003)、抑郁症(比值比=4.064,P=0.004)和失业(比值比=4.348,P=0.031)是最强的预测因素。在男性中,失业(比值比=4.074,P=0.014)是一个突出的风险因素,而在女性中,生育两个或更多孩子(比值比=2.740,P=0.036)和自杀家族史(比值比=2.459,P=0.028)显著增加自杀风险。人际关系冲突在女性中也与较高风险相关(比值比=0.382,P=0.035)。
我们的研究支持自杀风险因素相互作用这一观点,在某些情况下,它们的影响可能是协同的——相互增强——而非拮抗的。同样,保护因素似乎也会放大彼此的影响,这表明风险和恢复力存在累积和交互模型。
