Demographic Characteristics of Patients Taking Single and Multiple Medications for Suicidal Purposes and Evaluation by Beck Anxiety Scale

Abstract

Objectives: Anxiety appears as a normal reaction to life events such as life-threatening events, disappointment, separation from a loved one or environment, and physical illnesses. If the defense mechanisms in people are mentally healthy, they can cope by controlling the feeling of anxiety, but if the individuals are not fully mentally healthy, the feeling of anxiety can become chronic. This may cause undesirable situations in patients. Materials and Methods: Our research; This is a prospective study conducted in Atatürk University Medical Faculty Hospital Emergency Service. The study was conducted in accordance with the descriptive research model that aims to compare patients who took single and multiple drugs for suicide purposes according to their demographic characteristics and the value they received from the beck anxiety scale. Our study was conducted on patients who applied to the emergency department in April (01.04.2019) -May (31.05.2019) in 2019. Results: Our study was conducted on 111 patients in total, 56 of whom were taking multiple drugs, and 55 of whom were taking single drugs. The demographic data of the patients and the values they obtained from the beck anxiety scale were not found to be statistically significant between the patients taking single and multiple drugs: Discussion: Patients with many psychiatric disorders due to organic or psychiatric reasons use drugs and these patients generally use these drugs for suicidal purposes. In our study, we investigated whether there was an underlying cause of single or multiple drug use. In our study, it was investigated whether multiple drug intake was related to a more severe anxious condition. However, in our study, no relationship was found between the amount of medication taken and the depressive state of the patient who committed suicide. Conclusion: In our study, no relationship was found between patients who took single or multiple drugs for suicide and their anxiety levels.
