“…In line with previous studies also in the present study [59][60][61], the number of female exceed those of male suicide attempters in all groups. While, suicide attempts are more common among females [58,[65][66][67][68][69] more males [70,71] die by virtue of completed suicide. According to the World Health Organisation (1999), globally male individuals commit 2-3 times more suicides than females, whereas suicide attempts are more frequent among women compared to men.…”

While suicide can occur throughout the lifespan, worldwide suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people aged between 15 and 29 years. The aim of this multicentre study, conducted in Austria, Germany and Turkey, is to investigate the transcultural differences of suicide attempts among children and adolescents with and without migration background. The present study is a retrospective analyses of the records of 247 young people, who were admitted after a suicide attempt to Emergency Outpatient Clinics of Departments of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of the collaborating Universities including Medical University of Vienna, Charité University Medicine Berlin and Cerrahpaşa School of Medicine and Bakirkoy Training and Research Hospital for Mental Health in Istanbul over a 3-year period. The results of the present study show significant transcultural differences between minors with and without migration background in regard to triggering reasons, method of suicide attempts and psychiatric diagnosis. The trigger event “intra-familial conflicts” and the use of “low-risk methods” for their suicide attempt were more frequent among patients with migration background. Moreover among native parents living in Vienna and Berlin divorce of parents were more frequent compared to parents living in Istanbul and migrants in Vienna. These results can be partly explained by cultural differences between migrants and host society. Also disadvantages in socio-economic situations of migrants and their poorer access to the healthcare system can mostly lead to acute and delayed treatments. Larger longitudinal studies are needed to understand better the impact of migration on the suicidal behaviour of young people.

“…Hasil penelitian ini sejalan dengan penelitian di Turki dan Finlandia yang melaporkan sebagian besar kematian tidak wajar lebih banyak terjadi pada laki-laki dibandingkan perempuan karena sifat laki-laki yang lebih agresif, perilaku impulsif, dan banyak melakukan kegiatan di luar ruangan seperti berenang, mengendarai sepeda motor, dan lain-lain. 10 Kasus kematian tidak wajar yang diautopsi berdasarkan usia mendapatkan bahwa usia 17-25 tahun (masa remaja akhir) ialah usia terbanyak yaitu 18 kasus. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh perselisihan dalam keluarga yang menjadi alasan bunuh diri dan pembunuhan di kalangan kaum muda.…”

Unnatural deaths are not caused by diseases but by others such as accidents, killings, and suicide. The death of someone which is suspected unnaturally, needs to be found out with certainty about the cause of death through an autopsy by a forensic doctor. This study was aimed to obtain the causes of unnatural death cases autopsied at RS Bhayangkara tingkat III Manado and Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado in 2017-2018. This was a retrospective and descriptive study using Visum et Repertum data. The results showed 77 cases of unnatural deaths. As many as 45 cases were autopsied in 2017 and 32 cases in 2018. Most victims were male (68 cases), aged 17-25 years (late adolescence; 18 cases). The most common cause of death was sharp violence (45 cases). In conclusion, most autopsy cases of unnatural deaths were performed on males, aged 17-25 years (late adolescence), and sharp violence as the cause of death.Keywords: unnatural death, cause of death, autopsy Abstrak: Kematian tidak wajar adalah kematian yang tidak disebabkan oleh penyakit, seperti kecelakaan, pembunuhan dan bunuh diri.

“…Although suicide attempts are more frequent among females [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], more males [ 16 , 17 ] die by suicide. Young women are more exposed to risk factors that can lead to suicide attempts, and their vulnerability is also higher, compared to male adolescents [ 18 ].…”

Minors with and without migration background can have different risk factors and triggering reasons for self-harming and suicidal behaviour. We retrospectively analysed the data of 192 children and adolescents to investigate the transcultural differences in self-harming, as well as suicidal behaviour in Austrian, Turkish, and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS)-speaking patients, who were treated in an emergency out-patient clinic in Vienna. Our results showed transcultural differences in both behaviours. In all groups, females had higher rates of suicide attempts and self-harming behaviour than males. While Turkish-speaking patients received treatment more often, after attempted suicide, Austrians and BCS-speaking patients needed treatment more often for acute stress disorder. Suicide attempts and self-harming behaviours were triggered most frequently by intrafamilial problems, but more frequently in migrant patients. Turkish-speaking patients were at a more than 2 times (OR = 2.21, 95%CI: 1.408–3.477) higher risk for suicide attempts, and were triggered almost 3 times (OR = 2.94, 95%CI: 1.632–5.304) more often by interfamilial conflicts. The suicide attempts of BCS-speaking minors were more often caused by relationship and separation crises (OR = 2.56, 95%CI: 1.148–5.705). These transcultural differences in suicidal and self-harming behaviour of minors, demand an increase of transcultural competence to provide optimal treatment of migrant children.
