“…Among these, 10 (50%) individuals had a history of suicide. Thus, overall the frequency of attempted suicide among our sample was 12%, much higher than the 1% reported among adult males in the Islamic Republic of Iran [26]. In regression analysis, only self-harming behaviour and major depression predicted attempted suicide.…”

Data are lacking about the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and suicidal behaviour in incarcerated adolescents in Asia. This cross-sectional study evaluated the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and the prediction of suicidal attempts in 100 incarcerated males aged 12-19 years in Shiraz. Data were collected in face-to-face interview using the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (Farsi version). The mean age was 16.8 (SD 1.3) years and mean age at first imprisonment was 16.0 (SD 1.5) years. Nearly 70% of the adolescents had at least one current psychiatric disorder, the commonest being: conduct disorder (55%), oppositional defiant disorder (48%) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (33%); 11% had major depressive disorder and 2% schizophrenia. In all, 20% had self-harmed without intent to kill themselves and 12% had attempted suicide, 50% of whom had tried more than once. In logistic regression analysis only self-harming behaviour and major depressive disorder were significant predictors of attempted suicide.

“…Young people who have self-harming behaviour have an increased risk of complete suicide and the two are strongly correlated [25]. The rate of attempted suicide in our country is about 1% among adult males [26]. In our study, 20 (20%) adolescents had self-harming behaviour, most of whom were repeated self-harmers.…”

“…Although provided statistics on suicide behaviors by the national suicide registration are somewhat far less than some highly cited epidemiological studies estimates (3,(15)(16)(17)(18) and the systematic review on suicide behaviors in Iran, yet is the most comprehensive and only nationwide registry of suicide in Iran. Furthermore, we can hope that the development of this program in the future would provide more accurate estimates of suicide in Iran and we think that it could be a proper model for other countries especially in the Middle East where we share common cultural, regional and ethnical characteristics.…”

Background: Suicide behaviors cause a large portion of Disability adjusted life years worldwide. Objectives: The aim of this research was to study the trend, correlations and discrepancy of registered suicide incidents in Iran from 2009 to 2012 using data from the Iranian suicide registry. Materials and Methods:Suicide registry entries throughout the country between 2009 and 2012, including suicidal attempts and suicides, were collected. Data on age, gender, occupational, marital and residential status along with suicide method, history of previous attempt and history of medical or mental disorders were registered by health service provision staff at the service centers. Geographic mapping and statistical analysis were performed.Results: Amongst the 252911 attempted suicides during the period, we found suicide attempt and suicide rate of 30.5 -44.8 and 1.76 -2.23 per 100000 individuals, respectively, denoting overall suicide fatality rate of 2.63%. The rate of suicide attempt in different provinces ranged between 0.7 and 271.1 and the rate of suicide between 0.17 and 17.7 per 100000 individuals. Attempted suicides showed more fatality in males, elderly, widow/widowers, divorced and unemployed subjects as well as in residents of rural areas. The most common attempt methods were medication overdose (84%), and the most common suicide methods were hanging (30.3%), medications overdose (28.1%) and self-burning (17.9%); these methods are found at different rates in various parts of the world. Conclusions:While the registry could provide us the most valid data on suicide, the wide range of suicide and suicide attempt rates in different provinces not only could question this statement but also could highlight the importance of studying the ethnic/geographic variations in suicide epidemiology with improved suicide registry and surveillance systems.

“…Müslüman toplumlarda intihar oranlarının daha düşük olduğu bildirilmiştir (37). Örneğin, 2005 yılında İran'da genel nüfusta yapılan bir çalışmada yaşam boyu intihar girişimi oranı %1.4 (erkeklerde %0.9, kadınlarda %2) olarak bulunmuştur (38). Aile içi bağlar, komşuluk ilişkileri ve toplumsal bağların kuvvetli olması da intihardan koruyucu bir etkiye sahiptir.…”

Araştırmalar / Researches ÖZET Sivas il merkezinde intihar davranışının yaygınlığı ve bazı sosyodemografik faktörlerle ilişkisiAmaç: Bu çalışmada, Sivas il merkezinde intihar davranışının yaygınlığı ve bu davranış ile bazı sosyodemografik değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntem: Çalışmanın örneklemini, tabakalı örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 18-65 yaş aralığındaki 1117 birey oluş-turdu. Çalışma iki aşamada gerçekleştirildi. İlk aşamada, daha önce saptanan 500 hanedeki 18-65 yaş aralığın-daki katılımcılar sosyodemografik bilgi formu, intihar davranış ölçeği ve intihar düşünce ölçeğini doldurdu. İkin-ci aşamada, görüşmeciler intihar girişimi öyküsü olanlara SCID-I ve SCID-II ölçeklerini uyguladı. Bulgular: Yaşam boyu intihar davranışının yaygınlık oranı %2.23, yaşam boyu intihar planı veya girişiminin yaygınlık oranı %3.58, son bir yılda intihar düşüncesinin yaygınlık oranı %1.43, yaşam boyu intihar girişiminin yaygın-lık oranı %1.43 ve yaşam boyu intihar niyetinin yaygınlık oranı ise %0.62 olarak bulundu. İntihar davranışı istatistiksel olarak istemeden yapılan evliliklerde, isteyerek yapılan evliliklere göre anlamlı şekilde daha fazlaydı. Yine evlilik süresinin artmasıyla birlikte, hem intihar davranışı hem de intihar düşüncesi anlamlı şekilde azalmaktaydı. İntihar düşüncesi oranı alkol kullanım öyküsü olanlarda, olmayanlara göre anlamlı şekilde daha yüksekti. Tartışma: Bu çalışmada ortaya çıkan intihar davranışı, intihar düşüncesi ve intihar girişimi oranları, batı ülkele-rinde yapılan çalışmalarda elde edilen oranlara göre daha düşüktür. Bunun nedenleri arasında, çalışmalar arasındaki yöntemsel farklılıklarla çalışmaların yapıldığı toplumlar arasındaki dini ve kültürel farklılıklar sayılabilir. Anahtar kelimeler: İntihar davranışı, epidemiyoloji, genel nüfus ABSTRACT The prevalence of suicidal behaviour and its correlation with certain sociodemographic variables in Sivas provinceObjective: In this study, investigation of suicidal behaviour and its correlation with certain sociodemographic variables in Sivas province in Turkey was aimed. Methods: The sample group of this research consisted of 1117 individuals in the age range of 18-65, selected by using stratified sampling method. The study was performed in two stages. In the first stage, sociodemographic data form, the Suicide Behaviour Scale, the Suicide Ideation Scale were administrated to the participants who were selected from 500 homes. In the second stage, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis-I Disorders and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis-II Disorders and the Suicide Intention Scale were administrated to persons who had suicide attempt history. Results: While the prevalence of lifetime suicide behaviour was found to be as 2.23%, the prevalence of lifetime suicide planning or attempt was 3.58%, suicide ideation for the last one year 1.43%, lifetime suicide attempt 1.43%, and lifetime suicide intention was 0.62%. Suicidal behaviours were more frequent in involuntary marriages than in voluntary ones. Wi...
