“…The annual average suicide mortality rate among Japanese children and adolescents was 1.0 per 100,000 for those aged 10-14 years old and 7.3 for 15-19 year olds in [29,30]. The high proportion of jumping deaths in this age range might highlight the impulsive nature of these deaths which have been linked to phenomena such as school bullying [30].…”

“…Among adolescents these spring blues might emanate from seasonal events such as the start of the academic year and 'exam hell' which have been previously linked to adolescent suicide [35]. The detrimental effects from the stress of these events might also be exacerbated by the fact that young people are in a developmentally sensitive stage of life and can easily be affected negatively by a variety of social and psychological factors [29,36].…”

Objective Injury is the leading cause of death among children and adolescents in Japan. Despite this, until now there has been comparatively little research on this phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to examine if there was seasonal variation in child and adolescent injury mortality in Japan in 2000-2010. Methods Vital statistics injury mortality data were obtained from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan. The seasonality of the major causes of unintentional injury (transport accidents, drowning and suffocation) and intentional injury (suicide and homicide) mortality was examined for children and adolescents aged 0-19. Incidence ratios (IR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to determine the difference between the numbers of observed and expected seasonal deaths. Results The annual average injury mortality rate among children and adolescents was 9.0 per 100,000. Deaths from transport accidents, drowning, suffocation and suicide had a significant seasonality. There was a summer peak for transport accidents (IR 1.15, 95 % CI 1.10-1.19) and drowning (IR 2.00, 95 % CI 1.88-2.11), a spring peak for suicide (IR 1.09, 95 % CI 1.04-1.14), while the incidence of suffocation was higher in winter (IR 1.12, 95 % CI 1.03-1.21). Conclusion Child and adolescent injury mortality from transport accidents, drowning, suffocation and suicide has a pronounced seasonality in Japan. More research is now needed to find the circumstances underpinning different forms of injury mortality in different periods of the year so that effective interventions can be designed and implemented to reduce the burden of injury mortality among Japanese children.

“…The street-intercept methodology provides access to segments of the urban population that are hard to reach and has a high degree of validity and reliability (Green, 1995;Miller et al, 1997;Baseman et al, 1999;Rotheram-Borus et al, 2001;Fortenberry et al, 2007). It is also used frequently in studies of sensitive topics, such as drug use and sexual behavior (Hidaka et al, 2008). In our study, due to the sensitivity of the topic, and in order to get remarks about PLWHA, we talked not only about individual processes but also at a meta-level about social processes.…”

“…El suicidio en la población adolescente se ha incrementado en los últimos años en diversos países (Brausch & Gutierrez, 2010;Brausch & Muehlenkamp, 2007;Christiansen & Frank, 2007;Cox, Murray & Clara, 2004;Dave & Rashad, 2009;Groholt & Ekeberg, 2009;Hidaka, et al, 2008;Kim, 2009;Nrugham, Herrestad & Mehlum, 2010;Wild, Flisher & Lombard, 2004;Waldrop et al, 2007). Algunos de los factores de riesgo asociados con el intento suicida reportados en la literatura internacional son: a) la depresión (Brausch & Gutierrez, 2010;Dori & Overholser, 1999;Groholt & Ekeberg, 2009;Nrugham, et al, 2010;Orbach, Lottem-Peleg & Kedem, 1995;Waldrop et al, 2007;Wild et al, 2004); b) una historia de consumo de drogas lícitas e ilícitas (Hacker, Suglia, Fried, Rappaport & Cabral, 2006;Hidaka et al, 2008;Waldrop et al, 2007), c) aspectos familiares como relaciones conflictivas con los padres (Brausch & Gutierrez, 2010;Nrugham, et al, 2010), la adaptabilidad familiar y los antecedentes de ideación e intentos suicidas en familiares cercanos (Pavez, Santander, Carranza & Vera-Villarroal, 2009, d) algunas dimensiones psicológicas como: una baja auto-estima (Brausch & Gutierrez, 2010;Wild et al, 2004), la autocrítica -visión negativa del self-, el neuroticismo y la desesperanza (Cox et al, 2004;Dori & Overholser, 1999), e) actitudes negativas hacia el cuerpo o insatisfacción con la imagen corporal -percepción de sobrepeso- (Brausch & Muehlekamp, 2007;…”

RESUMENEl propósito fue evaluar si la auto-aceptación es un factor de riesgo del intento de suicidio en adolescentes. Participaron 665 estudiantes de 14 a 20 años (M = 16.7; DE= 1.36); 79 jóvenes (12%) reportaron intento de suicido, 24 fueron varones (M= 16.6 años; DE= 1.21) y 55 mujeres (M= 16.7 años; DE= 1.44). Se trabajó con dos muestras equivalentes, una con jóvenes que reportaron intento suicida (n= 79) y otra sin intento de suicidio (n= 69). Instrumentos: Escala de Auto-aceptación, con cinco dimensiones (rechazo-personal, insatisfacción personal, rechazo-carácter, auto-aceptación de aspectos positivos y auto-aceptación de aspectos negativos) y cinco preguntas sobre intento de suicidio. Los resultados mostraron que los predictores de auto-aceptación para el intento suicida fueron diferentes dependiendo del sexo de los adolescentes, la regresión logística sugiere que en los hombres la aceptación de sus aspectos negativos es un factor protector, pero en el caso de las mujeres, las que reportaron rechazo a su persona tienen un mayor riesgo de repetir el intento suicida. PALABRAS CLAVE: Auto-aceptación, intento de suicidio, adolescentes, factores de riesgo y protección. ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to evaluate self-acceptance in adolescents as a risk factor in attempted suicide. From one sample of 665 students between 14 and 20 years old (M = 16.7; SD = 1.36), only 79 adolescents (12%) reported attempted suicide, of whom 24 were men (M = 16.6) and 55 women (M = 16.7; SD = 1.44). The study included two sample groups, one a group of young people who had reported suicide attempts (n = 79), the other group was composed of people who had not reported suicide attempts (n = 69). A self-acceptance questionnaire which evaluated five dimensions (personal rejection, personal dissatisfaction, character dissatisfaction, self-acceptance of positive aspects and self-acceptance of negative aspects) was administered, and subjects were asked five questions about suicide attempts. The results showed that self-acceptance predictors of suicide attempts were different between the sexes: logistic regression suggests that self-acceptance of negative aspects is a protective factor for men; women who reported personal-rejection have an increased risk of repeating suicide attempts. KEY WORDS: Self-acceptance, attempted suicide, adolescents, risk and protective factors.*Investigación realizada gracias al Programa UNAM-DGAPA-PAPIIT. Clave IN 302212.
