Religious coping among self-harm attempters brought to emergency setting in India

Comparison of the characteristics of suicide attempters with major depressive disorder and those with no psychiatric diagnosis in emergency departments of general hospitals in China

“…The suicide attempters with no psychiatric diagnosis had a lower expectation of actually dying, so they wanted to be helped when they attempted suicide, and they were more impulsive because of their motive to threaten or take revenge on others. This is consistent with other studies [ 22 ]. On the contrary, the suicide attempters with MDD were more likely to commit suicide to bring about death.…”

“…Indeed, the suicide attempters with MDD were older in our study, which is consistent with a recent finding that older residents with mental illness and depression seem to have a higher risk of suicide with high intent [ 33 ]. The age differences were similar to those found in Sandeep Grover et al [ 22 ]; however, this finding was different from the findings of Steele et al These inconsistent results may be due to cultural differences. In terms of marital and employment status, the suicide attempters with MDD were more likely to be divorced or separated and to be unemployed than those with no psychiatric diagnosis.…”

“…Patients with mental illnesses were more likely to die [ 35 ]. Some previous studies supported the view that mental illness, especially major depressive disorder [ 36 – 38 ], is an independent risk factor for suicide with high suicide intent [ 33 , 39 , 40 ] and found that self-harm of MDD patients was more motivated by depressive symptoms than self-harm in patients with no psychiatric diagnosis [ 22 ]. Second, we found that the suicide attempters with no psychiatric diagnosis had significantly more self-rescue and were more impulsive than the suicide attempters with MDD.…”

“…For example, feelings of worthlessness are the single significant indicator of elevated risk of suicide attempt during a major depressive episode [ 21 ]. Suicide attempters with no psychiatric diagnosis also have their own epidemiological characteristics with respect to suicide [ 22 ]. Our previous study indicated that suicide attempters with mental illnesses are distinct in a number of important ways from those with no mental illness diagnosis.…”

“…Si bien la mayoría de los estudios que emplean la B-RCOPE han sido llevados a cabo en Estados Unidos (Pargament et al, 2011), se han registrado numerosos desarrollos en diferentes contextos, como Alemania (Zwingmann, Müller, Körber, & Murken, 2008;Zwingmann, Wirtz, Müller, Körber, & Murken, 2006), Brasil (Freitas et al, 2015;Ramirez et al, 2012), Canadá (Houck, 2012), Corea (Noh, Chang, Jang, Lee, & Lee, 2016), Croacia (Mihaljević, Aukst-Margetić, Vuksan-Ćusa, Koić, & Milošević, 2012), España (Martinez & Sousa, 2011), Francia (Caporossi, Trouillet, & Brouillet, 2012), Grecia (Kapsou, Panayiotou, Kokkinos, & Demetriou, 2010), Holanda (Braam et al, 2008, India (Grover, Sarkar, Bhalla, Chakrabarti, & Avasthi, 2016;Roberts & Montgomery, 2015), Inglaterra (Brewer, Robinson, Sumra, Tatsi, & Gire, 2015;Thuné-Boyle et al, 2013) Uwakwe, Aguocha, et al, 2016;Amadi, Uwakwe, Ndukuba, et al, 2016), Nueva Zelanda (Gardner, Krägeloh, & Henning, 2014), Pakistán (Khan & Watson, 2006) (Schaal, Heim, & Elbert, 2014), Suiza (Fitchett, Winter-Pfandler, & Pargament, 2014) y Tanzania (Watt et al, 2014). Los estudios que emplean la escala RCOPE han utilizado muestras de población adolescente y adulta, tanto religiosa como no religiosa, lo que contribuye a confirmar el modelo propuesto por el autor.…”
