“…Similarly, people who declared being in a relationship had a lower propensity to attempt suicide. This finding is similar to those of studies conducted in other countries, in which not being married or, more specifically, being divorced or experiencing a family breakdown was repeatedly reported as an associated factor for attempting suicide [36][37][38] .…”

Objective: Suicide is the culmination of a process or continuum known as suicidal behavior that proceeds from ideation and planning to attempt. The objective was to estimate the prevalence of suicide attempts in the adult Mexican population and to analyze their main associated factors. Methods: We conducted an observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study with information from the National Health and Nutrition Survey (2018). Self-reported lifetime suicide attempt was used in the analysis. We analyzed depression, obesity, tobacco smoking, and alcohol consumption as suicide attempt-associated factors using a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: The prevalence of adult suicide attempt was 2.0% (95%CI 1.8–2.2) and it was higher among women (2.4%; 95%CI 2.2–2.8) and young people (2.9%; 95%CI 2.4–3.4). Low education (OR=1.6; 95%CI 1.2–2.2), being single (OR=1.3; 95%CI 1.0–1.6), having obesity (OR=1.4; 95%CI 1.1–1.8), consumption of alcohol (OR=2.4; 95%CI 1.7–3.4) or tobacco smoking (OR=1.8; 95%CI 1.4–2.4), and having strong symptoms of depression (OR=10.1; 95%CI 6.2–16.3) were associated with a higher prevalence of suicide attempts. Conclusion: These results help better understand suicidal behavior in Mexico and identify the factors that increase the likelihood of suicide attempts, which is essential to help reduce suicide mortality. This research is crucial for developing early interventions and prevention programs aimed at reducing suicide's public health burden.

“…Specifically, these findings demonstrate that having a preschool-aged child was positively associated with depressive symptoms while having a school-aged child was marginally significantly associated with mental health. Raising a preschool-aged child can be very stressful for married women in the Korean context, and previous studies have shown that having children is harmful to the mental health of Korean women ( Kim et al, 2013 , 2021 ).…”

“…Some previous studies have also shown that having children harms the mental health of Korean women. Interestingly, having more than two children was positively associated with suicide attempts among Korean women compared to those with no children ( Kim et al, 2021 ). Another study analyzed married women aged 20 to 49 and found that the number of children was not significantly associated with mothers' mental well-being, but having a child younger than seven years old significantly increased the likelihood of having suicidal ideations ( Kim et al, 2013 ).…”

Background:A disproportionate amount of family caregiving can negatively impact married women's mental health. This study aims to examine the relationship between depressive symptoms in South Korean women and the satisfaction with their husband's participation in family caregiving.MethodsRaw data from 1,515 of the participants in the 2014, 2016, and 2018 Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families were analyzed. Satisfaction with husbands' participation in family caregiving was classified as satisfied, less satisfied, and not satisfied. The survey used the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale to measure depressive symptoms. The association was examined using a generalized estimating equations model.ResultsResults indicated 22.2% of the participating women reported depressive symptoms. Women who reported dissatisfaction with their husband's participation in caregiving were 2.54 times more likely to report depressive symptoms than the women who were satisfied. Subgroup analysis indicated that women with higher levels of education, were more likely to have depressive symptoms when they were not satisfied with their husbands' participation in caregiving.ConclusionMarried women who reported being dissatisfied with their husbands' participation in caregiving were more likely to report depressive symptoms. These results suggest the need to create environments with fair distribution of caregiving duties to minimize depressive symptoms in women.
