“…30 Despite the fact that most studies in the literature focus on suicide or SA rates for the age range between 10 and 15 years, [31][32][33][34][35][36] other studies have described the rates interpreted as SA in the age group of 5 to 10 years. 3,19,37,38 Again, it should be noted that the discrepancy exists because there is no consensus regarding the minimum acceptable age to classify the event as SA or suicide in children. Traditionally, scholars who adhere to Piaget's theory argue that children under the age of 7 are incapable of understanding death or presenting intentionality of dying.…”

“…16,17 These studies show that children in this age range can understand aspects such as causality, inevitability (the understanding that every human being dies one day), universality (death occurs for every living being), irreversibility (death occurs and the person cannot be revived), and cessation of mental and bodily functions as a result of death. 18 Studies developed in several countries, such as Argentina 19 and the United States, 20 have used SIB records to study mortality in children under 10 years of age. In these studies, mortality in this group was interpreted as SA and, consequently, suicide.…”

Objective: To describe and analyze data on self-injurious behavior (SIB) and related mortality in children under 10 years old in Brazil. Methods: A descriptive study was performed using secondary public health care data extracted from the Hospital Information System (Sistema de Informac¸õ es Hospitalares, SIH) and Mortality Information System (Sistema de Informac¸õ es sobre Mortalidade, SIM) in Brazil. The databases are available for online access at http://datasus.saude.gov.br/. Results: In Brazil, according to SIH data, 11,312 hospitalizations of patients under 10 years of age were recorded from 1998 to 2018 as resulting from SIB (ICD-10 X60-X84 codes). Of these, 65 resulted in death. According to the SIM, from 1996 to 2016, 91 deaths related to SIB were recorded, 81 (89%) in children aged 5 to 9 years, nine (9.9%) in children aged 1 to 4 years, and one (1.1%) in a child below 1 year of age. Conclusion: These results highlight the relevance of creating measures to better understand SIB and related mortality in this age group. They also reveal the vulnerability of children in Brazil and warrant further studies to address these issues.

“…En esta región, se destaca la población adolescente (es decir, la comprendida por personas de entre 10 y 19 años) por estar afectada especialmente por la problemática, con una estructura de muertes liderada por homicidios, suicidios y accidentes de transporte (3) . Esta situación es corroborada también al interior de los países que la componen, incluso desde décadas pasadas (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) .…”

A partir de considerar el incremento de la violencia en el mundo, sus implicancias para la población joven y la escasez de estudios relativos al tema según sector socioeconómico, se planteó el objetivo de analizar la mortalidad adolescente por causas violentas según nivel de Necesidades Básicas Insatisfechas (NBI), en Argentina, entre los trienios 2006-2008 y 2012-2014. Para ello, se llevó a cabo un estudio cuantitativo y descriptivo, desde un enfoque sociodemográfico, con base en información estadística oficial. Se calcularon tasas de mortalidad para la población de 10 a 19 años, desagregadas por nivel de NBI, sexo, edad y grupo de causas violentas. Los resultados mostraron un incremento de la mortalidad para el conjunto de causas violentas independientemente del nivel de NBI, mayormente en varones de 15 a 19 años. En particular, aumentó la mortalidad por accidentes de transporte y eventos de intención no determinada (todos los niveles de NBI), otros accidentes y suicidios (mayores niveles de NBI) y homicidios (menores niveles de NBI). Surge así la necesidad de desplegar acciones “a medida” para reducir la mortalidad en todos los casos.

“…Suicides have shown an increasing trend in Argentina (Quinlan-Davidson, Sanhueza, Espinosa, Escamilla-Cejudo, & Maddaleno, 2014; Bella et al, 2013); the prevalence of suicide among men is nearly three-fold compared to women (Quinlan-Davidson et al, 2014). In Argentina, suicides comprise 9% of deaths by unnatural causes, 27% of emergency department visits are related to suicidal ideation and attempts, and within six months, 22% reattempt and 34% are readmitted (Arie, 2002; Serfaty, Foglia, Masaútis, & Negri, 2002; Teti et al, 2013).…”

Suicidality among nonadherent patients living with HIV in Buenos Aires, Argentina: prevalence and correlates

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Of those in the general population hospitalized for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in Argentina, many reattempt suicide and are readmitted. However, few studies in Argentina have examined suicidal ideation and suicide-related behaviors among people living with HIV (PLHIV) and none have examined these factors among nonadherent PLHIV, though the prevalence of suicidal ideation in this group may be higher than in the general population and also than in other groups of PLHIV. This study of PLHIV in Buenos Aires, Argentina, examined the correlates of suicidal ideation in nonadherent PLHIV. Nonadherent patients with HIV (N = 118) were recruited from two clinics providing outpatient healthcare services to PLHIV in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Participants completed assessments on demographic characteristics, depression and suicidality, stigma, and self-efficacy. Participants were HIV-infected men (51%) and women (49%) with a median age of 40 years (IQR = 11). About half had completed high school or more, two-thirds were employed, and had a mean monthly income of 4196.79 (SD = 3179.64) Argentine pesos (USD$221). Thirty-three (28% [95% CI 20.3, 37.3]) participants reported suicidal ideation in the past two weeks, and one-third (35.6% [27.1, 44.9]) reported lifetime suicidal ideation. In bivariate analyses, attending a public clinic, being female, younger, unemployed, and experiencing greater stigma and depression were associated with suicidal ideation. In multivariable logistic regression, stigma interacted with the number of years since HIV diagnosis to predict suicidal ideation. The impact of stigma on suicidal ideation decreased with time since HIV diagnosis, suggesting that suicidal ideation may arise following HIV diagnosis due to perception of HIV-related stigma. Interventions to reduce perceived stigma during the period following HIV diagnosis may reduce suicidal ideation in this population. Organizational initiatives that explore HIV stigma microagressions in the healthcare setting may be needed to optimize health outcomes.
