“…This is the first study exploring the risk of committing completed suicide in the Slovak population related to these selected variants. In our study, the female-to-male ratio in the case subjects was 1:3.4, which is in line with the sex discrepancy in suicide rates in Slovakia [ 4 , 5 ]. It is estimated that around 20% of global suicides are due to pesticide self-poisoning (nonviolent method), most of which occur in rural agricultural areas in low- and middle-income countries.…”

Since suicide and suicidal behavior are considered highly heritable phenotypes, the identification of genetic markers that can predict suicide risk is a clinically important topic. Several genes studied for possible associations between genetic polymorphisms and suicidal behaviors had mostly inconsistent and contradictory findings. The aim of this case-control study was to evaluate the associations between completed suicide and polymorphisms in genes BDNF (rs6265, rs962369), SLC6A4 (5-HTTLPR), and FTO (rs9939609) in relation to sex and BMI. We genotyped 119 completed suicide victims and 137 control subjects that were age, sex, and ethnicity matched. A significant association with completed suicide was found for BDNF rs962369. This variant could play a role in completed suicide, as individuals with the CC genotype were more often found among suicides than in control subjects. After sex stratification, the association remained significant only in males. A nominally significant association between the gene variant and BMI was observed for BDNF rs962369 under the overdominant model. Heterozygotes with the TC genotype showed a lower average BMI than homozygotes with TT or CC genotypes. FTO polymorphism (rs9939609) did not affect BMI in the group of Slovak suicide completers, but our findings follow an inverse association between BMI and completed suicide.

“…Istotnym narzędziem w walce ze zjawiskiem samobójstw w grupie osób starszych jest też strategia wczesnej interwencji, gdzie niezmiernie ważne jest wykorzystanie już istniejących sieci centrów kryzysowych i infolinii oraz skutecznej opieki psychiatrycznej (Brazinova, Moravansky, Gulis, 2017). W tym obszarze wyzwaniem jest ciągłe rozwijanie sieci i optymalizacja współpracy pomiędzy poszczególnymi jej ogniwami.…”

W polskim społeczeństwie już samo słowo "samobójstwo" wywołuje wiele skrajnych emocji, takich jak strach, niepewność, ale również wrogość, a nawet niechęć i zażenowanie. Czasami są to smutek i żal. Większość ludzi woli unikać tego tematu i żyć w złudnym przekonaniu, że problem ten dotyczy tylko niewielkiej części populacji. Zjawisko to jednak istnieje i w coraz większym stopniu dotyka wszystkie grupy społeczne i wiekowe, w tym także osoby starsze, które teoretycznie powinny cieszyć się życiem i w pełni z niego korzystać. Zachowania suicydalne wśród seniorów na przestrzeni ostatnich lat stają się coraz większym problemem, który z roku na rok systematycznie przybiera na sile, co wyraźnie potwierdza zwiększająca się liczba przypadków prób i skutecznych zamachów samobójczych dokonywanych przez osoby starsze. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie skali zjawiska samobójstw wśród reprezentantów grupy wiekowej powyżej 65. roku życia, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ogólnego zarysu problematyki zjawiska, jego etiologii i symptomatologii. W zakończeniu szczegółowo zaprezentowano modele oddziaływań prewencyjnych, które uwzględniając czynniki społeczne, psychologiczne, psychiatryczne i kryminologiczno-wiktymologiczne, mogą skutecznie wpłynąć na wydatne ograniczenie występowania zjawiska w omawianej grupie społecznej. Słowa kluczowe: samobójstwo; osoby starsze; zachowania suicydalne; oddziaływania prewencyjne WPROWADZENIE Funkcjonowanie człowieka we współczesnej rzeczywistości przynosi oprócz pozytywnych zjawisk również te, które powodują głębokie stany stresu i frustracji,

Background Suicide is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in Iran and worldwide. Although several organizations gather information on suicide and suicide attempts, there is substantial misperception regarding the description of the phenomenon. This study proposes the minimum data set (MDS) for suicidal behaviors surveillance. Methods A literature review was first conducted to achieve a thorough overview of suicide-related items and map the existing evidence supporting the development of the MDS. The data items included in the literature review were then analyzed using a two-round Delphi technique with content validation by an expert panel. The suicidal behaviors surveillance system was then established based on the confirmed MDS, and ultimately, its performance was assessed by involving the end-users. Results The panel of experts consisted of 50 experts who participated in the Delphi phase and validity content review. Of these, 46% were men, and their mean age and average work experience were (36.4, SD ± 6.4) and (12.32, SD ± 5.2) years, respectively. The final MDS platform of our study contained 108 items classified into eight main categories. A web-based system with a modular and layered architecture was developed based on the derived MDS. Conclusion The developed system provides a framework for recording suicidal behaviors' data. The integration of multiple suicide-related information systems at the regional and national levels makes it possible to assess the long-term outcomes and evolutions of suicide prevention interventions.
