Abstract

Suicide notes are an important warning sign for suicidal behaviors. The aim of this exploratory research is (a) to contribute to understanding the place of suicide notes in the spectrum of suicidal behaviors in Portugal, and (b) to analyze the content remembered by individuals regarding a suicide note. Two complementary studies were carried out. In the first, a quantitative investigation, the statistical relationship of writing a suicide note: To the occurrence of lifetime suicide attempts, to lifetime self-harming behaviors, and to suicidal ideation in the two weeks prior to the assessment was evaluated. In the second study, a qualitative investigation, the content recalled by individuals regarding a suicide note was analyzed. In the quantitative study, 841 adults aged between 18 and 65 years, and 1,012 young adults participated. In the qualitative study, 18 young adults participated. Findings of the quantitative study reveal that writing a suicide note significantly related to the lifetime presence of a suicide attempt and to self-harming behaviors and to suicidal ideation in the two weeks prior to the assessment. Findings of the qualitative study suggest that individuals who have written suicide notes exhibit a significant self-oriented focus, yet they also demonstrate a strong sense of concern for the survivors.

关于葡萄牙人撰写自杀遗书的探索性研究:自杀谱系中的相关因素及定性分析。
自杀遗书是自杀行为的一个重要警示信号。这项探索性研究的目的是:(a) 帮助了解遗书在葡萄牙自杀行为中的地位;(b) 分析个人记忆中有关遗书的内容。开展了两项互补研究。在第一项定量研究中,评估了写遗书与以下方面的统计关系:一生中自杀未遂的发生率、一生中的自残行为以及评估前两周内的自杀意念。第二项研究是一项定性调查,分析了个人对遗书的回忆内容。在定量研究中,有 841 名 18 至 65 岁的成年人和 1 012 名年轻人参与。在定性研究中,有 18 名年轻人参与。定量研究的结果显示,写遗书与一生中是否有过自杀企图、自残行为以及评估前两周内的自杀意念有很大关系。定性研究的结果表明,写过遗书的人表现出明显的自我导向,但他们也表现出对幸存者的强烈关注。
