Özet:

 

Background and aims: Suicide rates vary
 in different cultures. The reasons for this difference
 are investigated, and attitudes, which are considered as important determinants of future
 behavior are becoming more important in this
 research field. The aim of this study is detemine
 psychiatrists’ attitudes towards suicide living
 in two countries with very different suicide
 rates. Methods: Seventy nine Slovenian (34
 men, 45 women; mean age: 47.5±9.9), and 106
 Turkish (75 men, 31 women; mean age:
 34.3±6.9) psychiatrists joined the study.
 Attitudes Towards Suicide Questionnaire
 (ATTS) were filled out by the participants.
 Results: Four (1.6%) (1 Turkish, 3 Slovenian) of
 the participating psychiatrists reported that they
 have attempted suicide in the previous year.
 Turkish psychiatrists held less permissive attitudes
 towards suicide and their attitudes
 towards euthanasia were more disapproving.
 Percentage of psychiatrists who reported that
 they were prepared to help a person in suicidal
 crisis by taking contact were 79.4% for Turkish
 and 94.9% for Slovenians. Conclusions: This
 study implied that professionals with similar
 educational backgrounds such as psychiatrists
 could have different attitudes towards suicide in
 different cultures. The relatively low percentage
 of psychiatrists reporting that they were prepared
 to help a person in a suicidal crisis points
 out the need for continious medical education in
 Turkey.
