In 30cases (11.7%), there was recurrent suicide attempt. Themost common psychiatric diagnosis was depression (n=14, 5.4%). The marriage rate of women was higher thanthat of men (p0.057).Conclusion: Suicide attempts are more common inyoung, low-educated and married women.

Özet

Amaç: İntihar girişimi tamamlanmış intihar için önemli bir risk etkenidir. İntihar girişimi için riskli olan olguların belirlenmesi koruyucu ve önleyici yaklaşım açısından önemlidir. Bu araştırmada amacımız, hastanemiz acil servisine başvuran intihar girişimi olgularının sosyodemografik ve klinik özelliklerini geriye dönük olarak araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma, Eylül 2014-Aralık 2015 tarihleri arasında intihar girişimi nedeni ile acil servisimize başvuran 257 olgunun, acil tıp kliniği intihar girişimleri kayıt formunun ve psikiyatrik konsultasyonlarının geriye dönük olarak incelenmesi ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Olguların 156’si (%60.7) kadın, 101’i (%39.3) erkekti. %42.8’si 15-24 yaş aralığındaydı ve %51’i bekardı. %42.4’ü işsiz, 136’sı (%52.9) ilkokul mezunuydu. 30 olguda (%11.7) tekrarlayıcı intihar giri şimi vardı. En sık görülen psikiyatrik tanı, depresyondu (s=14, %5.4). Kadınların evlilik oranı erkeklerden yüksekti (p0.057). Sonuç: Genç, eğitim seviyesi düşük ve evli kad ınlarda intihar girişimi daha sık görülmektedir. İntihar girişimi açısından riskli olan bu gruplara yönelik psikososyal müdahaleler intihar girişimi ve tamamlanmış intiharları önlemek açısından önemlidir.
