Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of perceived social support and depression on suicidal ideation in inpatients receiving substance abuse disorder treatment.
Method: A total of 110 inpatients in an Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center were included in the study. A sociodemographic and clinical information form, Beck Depression Inventory, Suicidal Ideation Scale, and Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale were administered to all patients.
Results: No significant correlation was identified between total social support score and suicidal ideation, whereas a weak negative but statistically significant correlation was found between social support from family and suicidal ideation scores (r=-0.231; p=0.016). The mean value of suicidal ideation was 2.22 in the non-depressed groupand 10.13 in the severely depressed group. We also found thatpatients whowere exempted from military service and those who had attempted suicide before had statistically significantly higher scores on the suicidal ideation scale.
Conclusion: In patients diagnosed with substance use disorder, various factors may increase the risk of suicidal behavior. In particular, patients with insufficient social support, depressive symptoms, unable to carry out their military service and those who have attempted suicide before should be closely followed for suicidal ideation.

Madde Kullanım Bozukluğu İle Hastaneye Yatırılan Hastalarda Depresyonun Şiddeti ve Algılanan Sosyal Desteğin İntihar Düşüncesi Üzerindeki Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızda, madde kullanım bozukluğu nedeniyle yatan hastalarda algılanan sosyal desteğin ve çeşitli belirleyicilerinin intihar düşüncesini nasıl etkilediğini ve depresyon ile ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçladık.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya Alkol Madde Tedavi Merkezinde yatarak tedavi gören 110 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Hastalara sosyodemografik ve klinik bilgi formu, Beck Depresyon Envanteri, İntihar Düşüncesi Ölçeği ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği uygulandı.
Bulgular: Toplam sosyal destek puanı ile intihar düşüncesi arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon saptanmazken, aileden alınan sosyal destek ile intihar düşüncesi puanları arasında negatif yönde zayıf ancak istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon bulundu (r=-0.231; p=0.016). İntihar düşüncesi ortalama değeri depresyonda olmayan grupta 2,22 iken ağır depresyonda olan grupta 10,13'tür. Ayrıca, askerlikten muaf olan ve daha önce intihar girişiminde bulunmuş olan hastaların intihar düşüncesi ölçeğinden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksek puan aldıkları bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Madde kullanım bozukluğu tanısı almış hastalarda çeşitli faktörlerin intihar davranışını rislini arttırabilceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Özellikle sosyal desteği yetersiz, depresif semptomları olan, askerlik görevini yerine getiremeyen ve daha önce intihar girişiminde bulunmuş hastalar intihar düşüncesi açısından yakından takip edilmelidir..
