Ardahan İli 2013-2016 Yılları İntihar ve İntihar Girişimi Olgularının Sosyodemografik Paterni

Öz:

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Ardahan ilinde intihar teşebbüsünde bulunmuş ve intihar etmiş bireylerin sosyodemografik faktörler açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metot: Kayıt temelli kesitsel tipteki bu araştırmaya 01.01.2013 ile 31.12.2016 tarihleri arasında Ardahan ilinde resmi kayıtlara geçmiş tüm intihar teşebbüsü ve tamamlanmış intihar olguları dâhil edildi. İntihar girişimi verileri hastanelerin “Acil Servis Ünitesi İntihar Girişimi Kayıt Formları”ndan; intihar verileri ise İl Emniyet Müdürlüğü ve İl Jandarma Komutanlığı kayıtlarından elde edildi. Veri toplama işlemi Şubat ve Nisan 2018 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Tamamlanmış intihar sayısı 31, intihar girişimi sayısı ise 105 idi. 2013–2016 yılları arasında il geneli intihar hızları sırasıyla yüz binde 6,8; 5,9; 9,1 ve 9,1; intihar girişim hızları ise 35,0; 33,7; 9,1 ve 26,4 bulundu. İntihar hızları tüm yıllarda erkeklerde; intihar girişim hızları ise tüm yıllarda 25–34 yaş aralığında, bekâr veya ayrı yaşayanlarda ve kentsel yerleşim alanlarında ikamet edenlerde daha yüksek bulundu. İntiharlarda kendini asma yönteminin, intihar girişimlerinde ise ilaç-toksik madde kullanımının en sık kullanılan yöntem olduğu; intihar girişimi olgularında en sık sebeplerin ailevi problemler, ruhsal hastalık ve karşı cinsle sorunlar olarak kaydedildiği görüldü. Sonuç: İntihar ve intihar girişim hızı yüksek olan gruplara yönelik önleyici çalışmalarının yapılması, intihara ilişkin uyarı belirtilerini taşıyan kişilerin erken tanısı, aile bireylerinin de sürece dâhil edilmesi, intihar teşebbüsünde bulunan bireylerle derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılarak sebeplerin tam olarak belirlenmesi öncelikle yapılması gereken eylemler arasında yer almaktadır.
