BackgroundSuicide is a serious cause of mortality that affects families, communities, and the entire country. Because of a lack of national systematic reporting for cause-specific mortality, a high level of stigma, and religious non-acceptance, suicidal behavior is an under-reported and concealed cause of death in the majority of low- and middle-income countries.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of suicidal behavior and associated factors among holy water users at the Andassa Saint George Monastery, 2023.MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Andassa Saint George Monastery from 5 April to 5 May 2023. A systematic random sampling method was utilized to select 423 study participants and the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire—Revised was used to assess suicidal behavior. The data were gathered using the epicollect5 software with a face-to-face interview method then exported to SPSS-25 for analysis. A binary logistic regression model was used and all variables in a bivariate analysis with a p-value of less than 0.25 were entered into a multivariable logistic regression model, and statistical significance was declared at a p-value of less than 0.05.ResultsThe prevalence of suicidal behavior among holy water users was 9.7% (95% CI: 7.1–12.4). Being female [2.632 (1.206–5.748)], living alone [2.52 (1.06–5.97)], and having depression [3.03 (1.32–6.99)], epilepsy [3.82 (1.28–11.40)], and diabetes mellitus [3.37 (1.229–9.25)] were significantly associated with suicidal behavior.ConclusionIn this study, almost 1 in 10 had engaged in suicidal behavior in their lifetime. Several risk factors for suicidal behavior were identified, including being female, living alone, and having diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, and depression.

IntroductionSuicidal behaviour is a major public health concern in Africa and a cause of premature mortality. The availability of community epidemiological data in Ethiopia is limited. This study assessed the prevalence of suicidal behaviour and its associated factors in Jimma Town, Southwest Ethiopia.MethodsUsing the Suicide Behaviour Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R), a community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted between September and November 2021. Multistage sampling was used to screen 636 participants for suicidal behaviour. The association between suicidal behaviour and other variables was explored using binary and multivariable logistic regression analyses.ResultsThe overall estimated prevalence of suicidal behaviour of the respondents in the study was 7.9% (95% CI 5.9% to 10.3%), using the SBQ-R score (>7). One-third of the individuals with lifetime attempts encountered stigma. Multivariable logistic regression models indicated that being female (AOR 2.81, 95% CI 1.48 to 5.31), having depression (AOR 6.9, 95% CI 1.98 to 24.57), family history of mental illness (AOR 4.11, 95% CI 1.38 to 12.19), poor social support (AOR 3.86, 95% CI 1.23 to 12.15) and good coping efficacy (AOR 0.91, 95% CI 0.88 to 0.94))were significantly associated for suicidal behaviour with p value less than 0.05.ConclusionThe overall prevalence of suicidal behaviour was relatively higher in this population than in other studies done in Ethiopia. In addition, the current study indicates the presence of suicide stigma, which further influences poor health-seeking behaviours. The factors significantly associated with suicidal behaviour in this study included being female, having a family history of mental illness, poor social support, poor coping self-efficacy and depressive symptoms. Findings warrant the attention of policy-makers in early screening of depression, developing preventive measures targeting risk factors and enhancing access to mental healthcare services.

The purpose of the work is to study: analyze modern data on the problem of suicidal behavior in the structure of diseases of the endocrine system, eating disorders and metabolic disorders. Materials and methods. The analysis of 52 sources. The search was carried out in special medical resources, namely: RusMed, Medline, PubMed, and Web of Science. In addition, electronic libraries such as eLibrary were involved.RU, CyberLeninka and the Library of dissertations and abstracts of Russia dslib.net. Results. An attempt has been made to study the phenomenon of suicidal behavior in the structure of diseases of the endocrine system, eating disorders and metabolic disorders. In addition to studying the prevalence of suicidal behaviors in the above diseases, the features and clinic of suicidal behavior depending on the duration and stage of somatic diseases were also described. The risk of suicidal behavior is higher than in the general population at all stages of the development of somatic disease and treatment, including remission, is underestimated by statistics. Conclusions. Diseases of the endocrine system, eating disorders and metabolic disorders should be considered by specialists as potentially dangerous conditions. Suicidal activity in the structure of these diseases remains very high and varies widely: from 0.10 to 65 %. The greatest suicidal activity is manifested in patients with the following diseases: diabetes mellitus, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, obesity; Preventive strategies are proposed, which show the importance of screening suicidal behavior in the general medical network in view of the high incidence of suicides to specialists.
