Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada intihar girişimi nedeniyle acil servise başvuran olguların intihar girişiminden önceki son bir yıldaki özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Retrospektif tipte yapılan çalışma kapsamında bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesi acil servisine 1 Ağustos 2018-1 Ağustos 2019 tarihleri arasında İntihar girişimi ile başvuran 135 hastanın dosyası incelendi. Çalışmanın verileri veri toplama formu aracılığıyla hastane kayıtları üzerinden toplandı.
Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 31,24±11,31 olup, %53,3’ü erkekti. Hastaların %36,3’ü ilkbaharda, %94,8’inin son bir yılda 1-3 kez intihar girişiminde bulunduğu ve %62,3’ünün ilaç içerek kendini öldürmek istediği belirlendi. İntihar girişimi ile başvuran hastaların %34,8’inin son bir yıl içinde en az bir kez psikiyatriste gittiği, %78,5’inin son bir yılda en az bir kez acil servise başvurduğu, %84,4’ünün intihar girişimi öncesi hastaneye başka şikayetler ile başvuruda bulunduğu saptandı. Hastaların %80’ine acil serviste psikiyatri konsültasyonu yapılmadığı belirlendi.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre; hastaların intihar girişimi öncesi çeşitli nedenlerle hastaneye başvurduğu, en çok başvurulan alanın acil servis olduğu ve daha önce intihar girişimi olan hastaların tekrarlı girişimde bulundukları ve hastaların çoğunun psikiyatrik yardım almadığı söylenebilir. Acile intihar girişimi nedeni ile başvuran olguların belirlenip, psikiyatrik bakım almaları konusunda psikiyatri polikliniklerine yönlendirilmeleri ve izlem yapılması önerilmektedir.
