Abstract

Suicide has increased close to 60% in the last four decades worldwide. In Colombia, during the year 2019, 10,9% of violent deaths were due to suicide. This study aimed to identify risk factors predicting repeated suicide attempts. It also aimed to describe the management of suicidal behaviour within an emergency department of Northern Colombia. Dataset comprised 336 medical records of individuals seeking medical assistance for intentional selfharm between 2008-2019; 136 medical records were associated with previously reported suicide attempts. Results from a multivariate logistic regression showed that suicide ideation and having a history of psychiatric disorders significantly predicted repeated suicide attempts. Furthermore, repeated attempts were more likely in underaged individuals and young adults. Management of patients engaging in suicidal behaviour involved hospitalization and outpatient mental health services. However, a few patients were sent home with recommendations or were noncompliant. Findings from this study highlight the importance to develop evidence-based screening and monitoring protocols that prevent repeated suicide attempts.

哥伦比亚北部某紧急服务机构服务用户的多次自杀企图:特征、相关因素和管理

在过去的四十年里，全球自杀人数增加了近60%。在哥伦比亚，2019年，10%的暴力死亡是由自杀造成的。本研究旨在确定预测重复自杀企图的危险因素。它还旨在描述哥伦比亚北部急诊部门对自杀行为的管理。数据集包括2008-2019年间因故意自残寻求医疗救助的336份个人医疗记录；136份医疗记录与先前报告的自杀企图有关。多变量逻辑回归的结果显示，自杀意念和有精神病史可显著预测反复自杀企图。此外，在未成年个体和年轻人中，重复尝试的可能性更大。对有自杀行为的患者的管理涉及住院治疗和门诊心理健康服务。然而，一些患者被送回家时提出了建议或不遵守规定。这项研究的结果强调了制定循证筛查和监测方案的重要性，以防止重复自杀企图。如何引用这篇文章：Aristizabal Diazgranados，E.T.、Chamorro Coneo，A.M.和Rodriguez Acosta，S.（2021）。哥伦比亚北部急救服务使用者多次自杀未遂事件的特征、相关因素和管理。哥伦比亚精神病杂志，30（2），41-54。https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v30n2.88942
