Özet:

 


Objective: The
aim of this study was to detect the frequency of suicide attempts as well as
psychological disorders for the individuals that attempt to commit suicide in
the province of Sivas and clarify the relation between suicide attempts and the
relevant characteristics.  


Method: The socio-demographic
information was collected during the clinical interview. Structured clinical
interview for axis I disorders based on DSM-IV (Structured
Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, SCID-I) and structured clinical interview for
personality disorders based on DSM-III-R (Structured Clinical Interview for
DSM-III-R, SCID-II) were administered, consecutively. 


Results: Majority of the suicide attempters were
women, at the 18-29 age group, people with low level of education, housewives
and unemployed people of low socio-economical status whose parents also have a
low education profile and people who belong to the core family structure. The
most common method of suicide attempts was taking high doses of drugs. The most
frequent reported reason for suicide was family disputes (33%). 61% of the
cases were identified as having an axis I disorder and 58% were identified as
having an axis II disorder. The most frequent axis I diagnosis was major
depressive disorder and the most frequent axis II diagnosis was borderline
personality disorder. Mood disorders were more common among married people,
people at age 30 or older, people who have a history of a psycho-social stress
factor before attempt and among those who have previous suicide attempts.
Cluster B personality disorders were more common among people with
dysfunctional family relationships, split family, alcohol abuse and previous
suicide attempts. 


Conclusions: In-depth assessment for cases with depressive
disorder and borderline personality disorder should include inquiry about
previous suicide attempts and these cases should receive appropriate treatment.
It should be kept in mind that the probability of suicide attempts is high for
these cases.
