Abstract

Background: Studies have shown that psychiatrists have a higher suicide rate compared to the general population and other medical specialists.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence, methods, and factors associated with suicide attempts (SA) among Moroccan psychiatrists.

Method: A cross-sectional online survey was carried out in August 2023 using an anonymous questionnaire created online on Google Forms.

Results: In all, 142 Moroccan psychiatrists practicing in the private and public sectors were included. Among these, 7.7% had a history of lifetime suicide attempts. Factors associated with TS among Moroccan psychiatrists are the personal history of depressive and anxiety disorders, the high scores of perceived stress, the psychoactive substances use; including tobacco, alcohol, and anxiolytics, as well as the family history of psychiatric disorders and the family history of suicide.

Conclusion: Suicide attempts among Moroccan psychiatrists are a serious mental health problem that has a negative impact on the psychiatrist himself, his entourage, and the quality of care provided to patients.
