Amaç: Son yıllarda intihar girişimi dramatik olarak artmaktadır ve adölesan ölümlerinin ikinci en sık nedeni haline gelmiştir. İlaç ve toksik madde kullanımına bağlı zehirlenme adölesanlardaki intihar girişimlerinin ikinci en sık aracıdır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: İlaç ve zehirli madde kullanarak intihar girişiminde bulunan 322 adölesanın demografik özellikleri, intihar nedenleri ve intihar için risk faktörleri incelendi.Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama ±SD yaşı 15.37 ± 1.61’di. İntihar girişimi oranı kızlarda erkeklere göre daha fazlaydı (%83.5 vs %16.5). Adölesan intiharlarının çoğunluğunda altta yatan neden kişisel faktörlerdi (kızlarda %72.1 ve erkeklerde %79.2 oranında, p = 0.284). Her iki cinsiyetteki en sık kişisel faktör adölesan gelişim problemleriydi (28.57%). Çoklu faktörler kızların %45.4, erkeklerin ise %35.8’inde bulunmaktaydı (p= 0.202).Sonuç: Risk faktörlerinin aydınlatılması ve toplumdaki yüksek riskli adölesanların belirlenmesi, adölesan intiharlarının önlenmesi için efektif stratejilerin geliştirilmesine yardımcı olacaktır.

Profile of Suicide Attempts in Adolescents; Demographic Features, Reasons and Risk Factors

Öz

Objective: Suicide has dramatically increased in recent years and has become the second leading cause of death in adolescents. Poisoning due to consumption of drugs and toxic materials is the second leading route of suicide attempts among adolescents.Material and Methods: We evaluated the demographic features, risk factors and reasons of suicide in 322 adolescents who attempt suicide by using drugs and poisonous materials. Results: The mean ±SD age of the patients was 15.37 ± 1.61. The rate of suicide attempt was more common in females than males (83.5% vs. 16.5%). Personal factors were the major causes underlying adolescent suicide (in 72.1% of females and 79.2% of males p = 0.284). The most common personal factor was adolescent development problems in both sexes (28.57%). Multiple factors were found in 45.4% of female and 35.8% of male adolescents (p= 0.202). conclusion: Clarifying risk factors and identifying adolescents at high risk in our population will help in developing effective strategies for the prevention of adolescent suicide
