Background Various explanations account for suicide incidents, and some patients continue to attempt afterwards and others never again. The suicide mortality rate increases with the number of serious attempts. The prevention of secondary attempt of suicide should be an important approach to reduce suicide mortality. However, the characteristics of the targeted population of repeated suicide attempters are understudied. Methods This was a cross-sectional data collection from hospital emergency room from patients who had either attempted suicide for the first time (n=721) or for two or more times (n=70). The subjects were between 14–53 years old and comprised 293 males and 498 females. In-depth interview was conducted for each suicide attempter with a semi-structural protocol. Demographic and social-psychological characteristics were compared between the two groups of suicide attempters. Logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of multiple attempts. Findings The two groups only differed in religion factor among demographic characteristics and multiple suicide attempters group have a higher percentage of subjects who reported to have a religion affiliation than first time suicide attempters. Multiple attempters were more likely to have family suicide history, physical illness, mental disorder, higher scores on Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and Suicide Intent Scale (SIS) and lower scores on Duke Social Support Scale (DSSI). In the final regression model, family history of suicide, mental disorder, hopelessness and social support emerged as significant predictors of multiple suicide attempts. Conclusion Suicide attempters that have mental disorder, family history of suicide, higher level of hopelessness and lower level of social support are more likely to re-attempt suicide again. Social and clinical interventions may have to also focus on this sub-group of patients with these characteristics to effectively reduce suicide mortality rate.

“…Increasing trend of psychological disturbance and suicide related experience among Iranian Kurds reported as an effective factor on attitude towards suicide (14). It seems that suicide is a main problem for Kurdish communities in other neighboring countries such as Iraq (15) and Turkey (16)(17)(18). War in this region of the world could be one of the dominant determinants for chronic psychological disorder, which leads to suicide attempt.…”

“…Compulsory marriage is one of the main causes of attempting suicide (16,17). For young Iranian women in the west of Iran, this is almost the only available threatening tool to object against their parent's decisions (18). Today, this tradition has changed gradually and parents provide more freedom in choosing for the young girl.…”
