Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study is to evaluate the suicide rate in individuals with mental disorders in terms of gender and time.
Design and Methods: In this study, a retrospective research design was used and secondary data were used. The sample of the study consisted of OECD countries.
Findings: Although the suicide rate is higher in men than in women, there is no statistical difference (p>0.05). Suicide rate increases during hospitalization, 30 days after discharge, and in follow-ups within one year (p<0.001).
Conclusion: It is believed that the results will guide healthcare professionals in diagnosing suicide risk and planning related actions (policy and interventions).

OECD ülkelerinde ruhsal bozukluklar için intihar oranlarının cinsiyet göre ve zaman ekseninde incelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı ruhsal bozukluğu olan bireylerde intihar oranını cinsiyet ve zaman ekseninde değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada retrospektif araştırma deseni kullanılmış ve ikincil veriler kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini OECD ülkeleri oluşturmuştur.
Bulgular: Erkeklerde intihar oranı kadınlara göre daha yüksek olmasına rağmen istatistiksel olarak fark yoktur (p>0.05). İntihar oranı; hastanede yatış sırasında, taburcu olduktan 30 gün sonra ve bir yıl içinde yapılan izlemlerde artmaktadır (p<0,001).
Sonuç: Sonuçların, sağlık profesyonellerine intihar riskini tanılamada ve ilgili eylemleri (politika ve müdahaleler) planlamada rehberlik edeceğine inanılmaktadır.
