Abstract

Amaç: İntihar günümüzde önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. İntihar konusundaki verilerin doğru, tam, zamanında ve hızlı kaydedilmesi ve değerlendirilmesi geliştirilecek koruyucu müdahaleler için temel oluşturacaktır. Bu araştırmanın amacı Türkiye’de 2007-2019 yılları arasında meydana gelen intihara bağlı ölümlerin epidemiyolojik özelliklerini belirlemek ve intihara bağlı ölüm hızlarının yıllar içindeki trendini incelemektir. Yöntem: Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TUİK) verilerinin kullanıldığı bu araştırmada 2007-2019 yılları arasında Türkiye’de görülen tüm intihara bağlı ölümler analiz edilmiştir. Yaşa göre standardize edilmiş intihara bağlı ölüm hızlarının zaman içinde göstermiş olduğu değişim Jointpoint regresyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: 2007-2019 yılları arasında erkeklerde yaşa göre düzeltilmiş intihara bağlı ölüm hızları yıllık ortalama yüzde 1.3 artış göstermiştir ve bu değişim istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p<0.05). Kadınlarda ise aynı süreçte bu değer yıllık ortalama yüzde 2.6 azalma göstermiştir ve bu değişim de istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p<0.05). Toplamda ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir değişim olmamıştır. Yaşa göre standardize edilmiş intihara bağlı ölüm hızlarının erkek/kadın oranı 2019 yılında 3.4’dir. Ancak 0-14 yaş grubunda kadınlardaki yaşa göre standardize edilmiş intihar bağlı ölüm hızları erkekler ile benzer seyretmektedir. Sonuç: Dünyanın aksine Türkiye’de intihara bağlı ölüm hızları azalmamaktadır. Erkeklerde görülen intihara bağlı ölüm hızlarının artışı çarpıcıdır. Kadınlarda ise 0-14 yaş grubu riskli görülmektedir. Özellikle riskli gruplara yönelik koruyucu programlar ve düzenlemeler bu önemli halk sağlığı sorunuyla mücadelede önem taşımaktadır.

Epidemiological characteristics of suicide mortality in Turkey and trend over the years, 2007-2019

Abstract

Objective: Suicide is an important public health problem today. Accurate, complete, timely, and rapid registration and evaluation of data about suicide will form the basis for preventive interventions to be developed. This study aims to determine the epidemiological features of suicide mortality in Turkey between 2007-2019 and examine the trend of suicide mortality rates. Methods: In this study, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) data was used, all deaths related to suicide in Turkey between 2007-2019 were analyzed. The change in age-adjusted suicide-related mortality rates over time was evaluated by Jointpoint regression analysis. Results: Between 2007 and 2019, the age standardised suicide-related mortality rates in males increased by an average of 1.3 percent annually, and this change was statistically significant (p<0.05). In females, this value decreased by an average of 2.6 percent annually in the same period, and this change was statistically significant, too (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant change in total. In 2019, the male/female ratio in age standardised suicide-related mortality rates was 3.4. However, in the 0-14 age group, the rate was similar for females and males. Conclusion: While it decreases in the world, the suicide mortality rates in Turkey do not decrease. The increase in suicide mortality seen in males is noteworthy. In females, the 0-14 age group is seen as risky. Preventive programs and regulations primarily for risky groups are essential in combating this important public health problem.
