Çalışmada araştırma yöntemi olarak nitel bir yöntem olan durum calismasi kullanilmistir. Elde edilen verilerin analiz edilmesi icin betimsel içerik analizi uygulanmistir. Turkiye’deki intihar olaylarıyla ilgili haberler internette “mobbing ve intihar” yazılarak bulunduktan sonra analizler yapılmıştır. Bu intihar vakalarının 12'si araştırmacılar tarafından mobbing ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Bu vakalar cinsiyet, yaş, meslek, intihar türü, intihar notu, psikiyatrik tedavi, mobbing iddiası ve mobbing türü gibi değişkenler açısından incelenmiştir. Analizler sonucunda mobbing nedeniyle intihar edenlerin çoğunluğunu kadınların oluşturduğu ve intiharların en sık gerçekleştiği yaş aralığının 25-34 yaş aralığı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İntihar edenlerin çoğunluğunun bekar oldukları bulgusu ortaya konmuştur. İntiharların en sık gerçekleştiği meslek grubunun doktorlar olduğu ve en yaygın intihar şeklinin yüksekten atlama olduğu bulunmuştur. İntihar edenlerin bir kısmının psikiyatrik tedavi gördüğü tespit edilmiştir. İntihar edenlerin neredeyse yarısının intihar notu bıraktığı görülmüştür. En sık karşılaşılan mobbing biçimlerinin ise; tehdit, iş baskısı, aşağılama, tecrit, umursamama, dedikodu, iftira, yaşam tarzına müdahale, keyfi uygulamalar, mesleki ilerlemenin engellenmesi ve fiziksel şiddet oldukları ortaya konmuştur.
