 Amaç: Bu çalışmada, 2019-2023 yılları arasında Uşak ilindeki Acil Servislere intihar girişimi nedeniyle yapılan başvuruların değerlendirilmesi ve toplumsal koruyucu programlar için yol gösterici olması amaçlanmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma, Uşak Üniversitesi Girişimsel Olmayan Araştırmalar Etik Kurulunun 21.09.2023 tarihli ve 176-176-09 numaralı onayıyla, 1 Kasım-31 Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında Uşak İl Sağlık Müdürlüğü arşivinde bulunan 2019-2023 yılları arasındaki 13 yaş ve üzeri intihar girişimlerinde bulunan vakaların kayıtlarının incelenmesiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 947 hasta katıldı, bunların 635i kadındı. İntihar girişimlerinin çoğunluğu 43,2 13-24 yaş arasındaydı. En fazla intihar girişimi, saatlerine göre 18.00-23.59 arasında 40,5 ve yaz mevsiminde 29,8 gerçekleşti. En fazla intihar girişimi Ağustos ayında 10,5 oldu. İntihar girişiminde bulunanların çoğunluğunu ilköğretim mezunları 47,0 ve işsizler 39,4 oluşturdu. Çiftçilerin 42,9 intihar girişim oranı diğer meslek gruplarına göre anlamlı derecede daha yüksekti p0,009. Ailesel sorunlar 31,3, en sık gözlenen intihar girişim nedeniydi. En sık kullanılan intihar girişim yöntemi ilaç-toksik madde kullanımıydı 92,6. Çalışmaya katılanların 21,1i daha önce intihar girişiminde bulunmuştu. İntihar girişiminde bulunanların 24,2sinin daha önce psikiyatrik tanısı konulmuştu. İntihar girişiminde bulunanların 60,4üne ilaç tedavisi aktif kömür uygulanırken, 11,5ine psikiyatrik konsültasyon istendiği gözlendi. İntihar girişiminde bulunan vakaların 69,5i tek görüşme ile sonuçlandı. Sonuç: İntihar girişiminde bulunanların çoğu adölesan ve genç yaş grubundan, kadın, okur yazar olmayan, ilköğretim mezunu ve işsizlerden oluşmaktaydı. Çalışmamıza göre intihar girişimlerinin en sık nedeninin ve yönteminin ailesel sorunlar ve ilaç-toksik madde kullanımı olduğu saptandı. İntihar girişiminde bulunanların tamamına psikiyatrik konsültasyon yapılmasını sağlayacak düzenlemelerin uygulanması, intihar girişiminde bulunanların takibi ve tedavilerinin aile hekimi, psikiyatrist, psikolog ve sosyal hizmet uzmanlarından oluşan bir ekip tarafından yapılması önerilir.
