Objective: It has been shown in previous research that the impulsive type of suicide is influenced by seasonal content. In this study, a relationship between suicide characteristics and seasons was investigated in adolescents with a suicide attempt.
Material and Methods: The demographic characteristics of adolescents who applied to a training and research hospital in a two-year period between 2018-2020 were retrospectively examined.
Results: Data of 124 adolescents were reached within this period. Of 44.4% (n=55) the cases were in 2019 and 55.6% (n = 69) were in 2018. 27.4% (n=34) of suicide attempts were in autumn, 26.6% (n=33) in winter, 25% (n=31) in summer, 21% (n=26) in spring. There was no reason for suicide attempt in 16.1% (n=20) of the cases, 41.1% (n=51) family conflict, 25% (n=31) difficulties in friendship were the reasons for suicide attempt. While no psychiatric disorder was found in 49.2% (n = 61) of the cases, the most common psychiatric disorder was depression (38.7%, n=48). The absence of difficulty in friendships during summer season, which was determined as the reason for suicide attempt, was found statistically significant (χ2 (3) = 24.550, p <.001).
Conclusion: Within the seasons, only a relationship was found between the summer season and the cause of suicide attempt, which is consistent with the literature.
Amaç: Özkıyım girişiminin dürtüsel nitelikte olan formunun mevsimsel içerikten etkileniyor olduğu önceki araştırmalarda
gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada özkıyım girişimi ile başvuran ergenlerin özkıyım özellikleri ile mevsimler arasında bir ilişkinin
varlığı araştırıldı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2018-2020 yılları arasındaki iki yıllık süre içinde bir eğitim araştırma hastanesine özkıyım girişimi
nedeniyle başvuran ergenlerin demografik özellikleri incelendi.
Bulgular: Adı geçen süre içinde toplam 124 ergenin verisine ulaşıldı. Olguların %44.4’ü (n=55) 2019 yılına, %55.6’sı
(n=69) 2018 yılına aitti. Özkıyım girişimlerinin %27.4’ü (n=34) sonbahar, %26.6’sı (n=33) kış, %25’i (n=31) yaz, %21’i
(n=26) ilkbahar mevsimindeydi. Olguların %16.1’inin (n=20) özkıyım girişimi nedenine ulaşılamadı, %41.1’inin (n=51)
ailesi ile ilişkilerinde yaşadığı güçlükler, %25’inde (n=31) arkadaş ilişkilerinde yaşadığı güçlükler özkıyım girişimi nedeni
olarak saptandı. Olguların %49.2’sinde (n=61) aktif bir psikiyatrik bozukluk varlığı saptanmazken, en sık saptanan psikiyatrik
bozukluk depresyon idi (%38.7, n=48). Özkıyım girişimi nedeni olarak saptanan arkadaş ilişkilerindeki sorunların
yaz mevsiminde bulunmayışı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (χ2 (3) = 24.550, p<.001).
Sonuç: Mevsimler içinde yalnızca yaz mevsimi ile özkıyım girişimi nedeni arasında bir ilişki saptanmış olup bu durum
literatürle uyumludur.
