ABSTRACT

Background: Suicide is one of the psychosocial problems. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the cause and cause of suicide in order to reduce the number of suicide rates and causes. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was designed. Referring to Shahid Rahimi Hospital in Khorramabad, the information of poisoning patients referred to the first half of 2018 was collected through a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 18 demographic and general questions that were used to complete the interview with suicide attempters or first-degree relatives. To determine the validity or validity of the questionnaire, the content validity method was used. Subsequent surveys and discussions were carried out by several of them. On the question of the history of psychiatric illness in the questionnaire, the patient's illness was confirmed after interviewing the clinical psychologist of the poisoning department. After collecting the data and entering them in SPSS version 21, descriptive indicators such as mean, standard deviation and the percentages and graphs were plotted and we used the Chi-square test to examine the relationships between the variables. Results: Out of 222 patients, 36.5% of the patients were males and 63.5% were females. Age was 25.7% less than 20 years, 46.4% was between 20 to 29 years old, 18% 30-39 years old, 7.2% 40-49 years old and 2.7% 50 years and older. 54.1% of single patients, 42.3% were married, and 3.6% were divorced. The motive for suicidal attempts was 28.7%, the difference with the spouse, 21.7%, the difference with the parents, 22.2%, the love failure, 7 / 15% of the alert to the relatives, 3.5% of the financial problem, 3% of the mental illness, 1.3% of the underlying illness and 0.4% of the educational failure, and 3.5% of the cases were unknown. As shown in Table 18, Chi-square test confirmed the significant relationship between sex with suicidal attempt and suicidal motivation. There was no significant relationship between suicidal attempt and marital status and motivation. There is no meaningful relationship between marital status, employment status, history of addiction in the family, the history of addiction in the individual and the income of patients by suicidal methods. There was a significant relationship between suicide, age, place of residence and education using suicidal methods. There was a significant relationship between suicidal ideation and age and motivation. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study and their comparison with other studies, it is concluded that the suicidal motives of patients with poisoning are mainly differences with their husbands, differences with parents and love failure that are related to age and the sex of these patients is related. Therefore, planning based on these cases is recommended to reduce the prevalence of suicides.
