“…Some studies found that high education may protect against suicidal behaviors, while others found no difference between groups, including the present study. We did not find that substance or alcohol abuse disorder increased the odds of future suicidal attempts as previously found in a general psychiatry setting …”

Purpose To identify predictors for 12‐month suicide attempt from general psychiatric outpatients. Design and Methods A case‐control study compared 55 cases of suicide attempt within the previous 12 months matched for age and sex with 55 nonsuicidal cases. All were interviewed for psychiatric and personality disorder (PD) diagnoses using a DSM‐IV‐TR diagnostic interview. Findings Factors associated with suicide attempt included depressive disorders (odds ratio [OR] = 4.62) and borderline PD (OR = 8.99). Practical Implications More attention should be paid to identifying PD especially borderline PD in suicidal attempters, and further study of modifiable factors associated with depression and borderline PD is encouraged.

“…In additional, most of the subjects in this study who attempted suicides and committed suicides were private sector employees. The case-control study by Giupponi et al (2017) on risk factors in 131 cases found that 40% of them are unemployed, inconsistent with findings of this study. 20 The study conducted by Kodaka et al (2017) on the risk factors for suicide in individuals in Japan, involving 102 cases over 20 years recorded that 60% of the subjects were unemployed as well.…”

“…24 Financial issues were a common risk factor that leads many to suicides. 20,25 These findings support the results obtained in this study where economic problems majorly led to suicide cases. The previous survey also shows that long-term financial problems create a greater feeling of hopelessness in life which causes individuals to end their lives through suicide.…”

Suicide is an important health issue worldwide which is generally on the rise from annually. It has no known pathophysiology; it interlinks psychological, biological, societal and environmental factors. Aim: This study was conducted to identify the prevalence and various variables, such as characteristics, methods and risk factors of attempted and completed suicides. Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study which was conducted in Denpasar from 2014-2016 and the subjects of study are those attempted and died from suicides. Data were collected from resident' s log book and medical records from Psychiatric and Forensic departments in RSUP Sanglah and police reports from Polresta Denpasar. Data collected from Polresta has also included those from Forensic. Results: Age group 15-29 years (121), females (118), married people (82), private sector employees (109), and Balinese (108) have highest numbers of suicide attempts in their respective character groups. Poisoning (145) and problems with a partner (99) are the most typical methods of choice and risk factor respectively among the 176 cases of attempted suicides. Age group 30-49 years (11), males (17), married people (16), private sector employees (16), and Balinese (13) have highest numbers of completed suicides. Hanging (22) and economy crisis (13) are the most prevalent method and risk factor among the 23 cases of completed suicides.

Introduction and Aim Suicide and harmful alcohol consumption are major health problems, especially in medical students. This study aimed to evaluate the association between risk for alcohol abuse and suicide risk in medical interns of Peruvian hospitals. Design and Methods We conducted a multicentre cross‐sectional study in medical interns from 18 Peruvian hospitals. We measured suicide risk, risk for alcohol abuse, depression and self‐esteem using the Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale, CAGE, Zung Self‐Rating Depression Scale and Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale, respectively. We used χ2 and Student t‐tests for descriptive analysis. To evaluate the association between risk for alcohol abuse and suicide risk we generated crude and adjusted Poisson regression models with robust variance and estimated prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Results We surveyed 433 medical interns. The prevalence of suicide risk and risk for alcohol abuse was 19.6% and 27.5%, respectively. We found significant differences in suicide risk according to age (P < 0.001), region of origin (P = 0.002), with whom the participant lived (P < 0.001), university of origin (P = 0.040), type of hospital (P = 0.042), family history of attempted suicide (P = 0.043), self‐esteem level (P < 0.001) and alcohol consumption (P < 0.001). In the adjusted model, age (PRa: 1.11, 95% confidence interval 1.05–1.17) and risk for alcohol abuse (PRa: 7.60, 95% confidence interval 4.46–12, 96) were associated with suicide risk. Discussion and Conclusions Two out of 10 medical interns had a positive screening for suicide risk. Age and especially risk for alcohol abuse were the associated variables.
