Differential factors that influence intention during the non-fatal suicidal act in men and women are not studied enough. In a current study, 433 suicide attempters (age 24.89 + 0.98 years, male/female ratio = 1.29) were interviewed, mostly shortly after the attempt. Suicide attempters were stratified into three groups with growing expected fatality (EF) during suicidal act. It was found that the higher EF was associated with higher suicide intent scores, however, the medical severity of attempts, as well as violent/non-violent attempts distribution did not differ between groups. Men and women inside groups had similar suicide intent scores and medical severity, though men demonstrated a 2.4-3.5 times higher proportion of violent attempts (X70-X84), depending on the group. In men higher EF was associated with lower general well-being, higher depression and violence, hopelessness, and total life stress, in women only with total life stress. Moreover, in men and women higher EF was associated with different negative life events under age 18. Prevalence of mental health disturbances was equal among men and women, however, in men prevailed addictions, while in women neurotic and stress-related disorders; among those who expected more fatality the number of people with diagnoses and comorbidity was higher, especially in men. In conclusion, there exist distinct risk factors for EF and higher intent in young men and women attempting suicide, which may not necessarily result in higher medical outcomes but may serve important helping points during post-crisis counseling of young suicide attempters.

“… 19 Gender-related personality variables have been suggested as mediating factors in suicide attempts. 20 In a record review of individuals with suicide attempt treated in an Indian general hospital setting, impulsive suicide attempts were associated with a greater degree of hopelessness and stressors. 21 Following this literature review, three experts from the field of psychiatry and clinical psychology (the first three authors) designed the problem solving strategies, which were further reviewed by other experts and eventually refined.…”

Background: Brief contact interventions such as telephone-based contacts appear to be useful in individuals who attempted suicide. Most studies of telephone-based contacts in such individuals typically consisted of frequent phone reminders for adherence to treatment and seeking help for mental health issues. Telephone-based psychosocial interventions that incorporate elements of supportive and problem-solving strategies are of interest in Indian settings due to their potential application in mitigating the wide mental health gap. Feasibility studies of telephone-based psychosocial interventions could help ascertain the difficulties that arise in the implementation of such treatments. Methods: A multicentric randomized controlled trial (RCT) is currently underway in general hospital settings in two Indian cities to study the efficacy of telephone-based psychosocial interventions in individuals with a recent suicide attempt, with routine telephone contacts (TCs) serving as the comparator. Prior to that RCT, this feasibility study was conducted to assess the acceptability of the telephone-based intervention and telephone contacts. Feasibility was assessed using dropout rates. Acceptability was assessed using participant-rated Likert-based visual analog scores from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater acceptability. Results: Dropout rates and mean acceptability scores for telephone-based psychosocial interventions were 38.5% and 8.63, while those for TCs were 41.7% and 7.57, respectively. Conclusions: Telephone-based psychosocial interventions are feasible and acceptable in individuals with a recent suicide attempt.

Suicide is a self-destructive behavior and social support can be of utmost importance in preventing it. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between personality traits, psychological needs, and perceived social support in individuals with self-harm behaviors in 2017. This study was performed as a cross-sectional study with participation of 115 suicide attempters by poisoning selected via convenience sampling method. The NEO Personality Inventory, the Basic Needs Satisfaction Scale, and the Social Support Questionnaire were used to collect the required data, which were then analyzed using SPSS Statistics. The findings revealed a significant relationship between personality traits, psychological needs, and perceived social support in suicide attempters by intentional poisoning. Some of the personality traits, perceived social support status, and satisfaction with basic psychological needs were important risk factors affecting suicide attempts by intentional poisoning.

Association between personality factors and suicide intent in attempted suicide: Gender as a possible mediator?

Abstract: Certain differences seem to be present between Indian male and female suicide attempters with regard to baseline personality attributes and their role in predicting suicide intent. The import of personality traits as potential targets for suicide prevention is worth exploring further.
