“…Twelve of the 17 subjects had felt that 'life was not worth living', which is a much higher incidence than was found in a general population survey in Connecticut in 1974. 23 The first half-year after the injury was reported to be 'the most difficult time'. from people close to him or her and from society.…”

In order to meet a long expressed need for a longitudinal study on personal adjustment to traumatic spinal cord injury, 17 consecutively treated persons with complete traumatic spinal cord injury were interviewed 0. 5-5 years after the injury on six occasions, with a total of 102 interviews. The variables studied were age at injury, social status, the cause of the accident, spinal level of injury and physical complications. The subjective quality of life (QOL) was reported on a 0-10 scale at all interviews and showed four patterns during the 5 year period. Five subjects reported that they were coping very well, with an almost unchanged QOL after the injury. Six reported good coping after an initially low QOL in the first years. Two subjects reported an unstable QOL, and four persons reported a continually low QOL without improvement. Variables related to unsatisfactory coping were severe pain, age above 35 years at the time of trauma, and being blameless for the accident.

“…As with suicidal ideation, attempted suicide is far less frequent in later life than among younger age groups (Moscicki 1997). In adolescence the ratio of attempted to completed suicides has been estimated to be 200:1 (Langley and Bayatti 1984), while the estimated risk for the general population is from 8:1-33:1 (Paykel et al 1974). In contrast, there are approximately four attempts for each completed suicide in later life (Parkin and Stengel 1965).…”

“…Suicidal behaviour is frequently associated with depression [1][2][3]. Descriptive epidemiology of children's and adolescents' suicidal behaviour shows, in a non-clinical sample of schoolchildren, self-reported suicidal ideation in approximately 1-14%, and depressive symptoms in 18-44% of cases [4][5][6][7].…”

To cite this version:Algi Abstract Depressive feelings and suicidal ideation in a non-clinical sample of adolescents in Estonia were analysed in the context of family structure, mutual relationships amongst family members and schoolchildren's preferences regarding intimate personal contacts with particular family members. Data from the WHO collaborative study 'Health Behaviour in School-aged Children 2005/ 2006' (HBSC) were used. A representative sample of schoolchildren aged 11, 13 and 15 years completed the semi-structured questionnaire. The analyses included only adolescents living in households with at least one birth parent. The subjects were 4,389 schoolchildren (2,178 boys and 2,211 girls), who were divided into three groups based on: (1) suicidal thoughts, with or without depressive feelings; (2) depressive feelings; and (3) neither suicidal thoughts nor depressive feelings. Multinomial logistic regression was used. The proportion of depressive feelings increased with age for both boys and girls. Girls expressed depressive feelings more frequently than boys from ages 13 and 15 years, and suicidal thoughts from age 15 years. Self-reported satisfaction with relationships in the family reduced the likelihood of depressive feelings and suicidal thoughts. Good communication with the parents reduced the likelihood of suicidal thoughts in all age groups. Adolescents who were satisfied with their family relationships suffered less frequently from depressive feelings and suicidal thoughts. The best environment for an adolescent was a family with both birth parents. Of the adolescents in 'non-intact' families, those with a step-parent in the family showed suicidal thoughts more frequently than those in single-parent families. Associations between family-related variables and suicidal thoughts were significant even after adjusting for family economic deprivation score.
