Translated title:
Study of Psychoactive Life Events before the age of 18 in patients with a recent suicide attempt who were evaluated by the team of liaison psychiatry
Summary:
According to the Hellenic Statistical Authority 529 suicides were recorded in 2015 in Greece with the largest 43% percent being economically inactive. The present research studies the stressful events in the history of patients treated in the Attikon Hospital with the suicide attempt for reason of hospitalization, as well as the correlation of the stressful events prior to the 18th year of life of the attempted patients with the attempted method (violent / non-violent). The research was an observational / retrospective study with data collection of a total sample of 253 patients, collected and studied from the archive of Liaison Psychiatry of General University Hospital Attikon of the Second Psychiatric Clinic during the years 2015-2018 and were registered through RedCAP. The statistical analysis was performed with the program IBM SPSS 25.0. The distribution of descriptive and clinical characteristics of 253 patients with a recent suicide attempt was estimated by the x2 method, evaluation of the respective 95% confidence intervals (95% DE) conducted with bootstrap techniques for purpose of comparison. In addition the non-parametric coefficients were evaluated through the rho-Spearman method. The attempt of self-destruction in the present and the history of attempts were correlated with the basic characteristics of the patients and the existence of psychological factors before the 18th year of life through multiple accounting regressions and by estimating the odds ratio. An acceptable significance level of 0.05 was set. The 49.8% percent of the patients were in a relationship or married, the 84.6% percent had been hospitalized again in the pathological clinic of the hospital before the recent attempt and the 55.8% percent had a psychopathology report in the available history. In regard to the method of suicide attempt the highest frequency was observed in voluntary self-poisoning by drugs (42.2%) while only in the 7.1% percent of the 253 patients was recorded a violent choice. Only the 5.5% percent of patients with a history of attempted violence had a recent attempt (p = 0.021). Low incidence was indicated in the factor of abuse and neglect of patients under the age of 18 years old (17.5%). Further research is needed through primary research.
