Background and aims: Suicide rates vary
in different cultures. The reasons for this difference
are investigated, and attitudes, which are considered as important determinants of future
behavior are becoming more important in this
research field. The aim of this study is detemine
psychiatrists’ attitudes towards suicide living
in two countries with very different suicide
rates. Methods: Seventy nine Slovenian (34
men, 45 women; mean age: 47.5±9.9), and 106
Turkish (75 men, 31 women; mean age:
34.3±6.9) psychiatrists joined the study.
Attitudes Towards Suicide Questionnaire
(ATTS) were filled out by the participants.
Results: Four (1.6%) (1 Turkish, 3 Slovenian) of
the participating psychiatrists reported that they
have attempted suicide in the previous year.
Turkish psychiatrists held less permissive attitudes
towards suicide and their attitudes
towards euthanasia were more disapproving.
Percentage of psychiatrists who reported that
they were prepared to help a person in suicidal
crisis by taking contact were 79.4% for Turkish
and 94.9% for Slovenians. Conclusions: This
study implied that professionals with similar
educational backgrounds such as psychiatrists
could have different attitudes towards suicide in
different cultures. The relatively low percentage
of psychiatrists reporting that they were prepared
to help a person in a suicidal crisis points
out the need for continious medical education in
Turkey
