Abstract: Risk and protection variables related to suicidal attempt. Suicide is an important public health problem, being the suicidal attempt the most predictive behavior of completed suicide. The aim of this study was to detect if there are differences in psychosocial and emotional variables in people with and without suicidal ideation and attempt. The sample consisted of 166 participants (86.36% women), aged between 20 and 77 years (M= 36, SD= 14.12) with and without suicide attempts, which was in turn divided into three groups through the Scale of Suicidal Ideation.

Abstract:

Relatively little is known about midlife suicides, compared to adolescent and elderly suicides. A life‐span model of suicidal behaviors is suggested as a heuristic conceptual tool. General midlife tasks and crises, as outlined by Levinson and Erikson, are reviewed. However, more than routine midlife developmental problems occur in most suicides. Some of the possible distinctive traits of midlife suicides (versus younger and older suicides) include: loss of spouse, years of heavy drinking, reaching the age of high depression risk, and occupational problems (including unemployment, inability to

Elderly suicides use more lethal methods, are more often diagnosed with affective disorder and organic brain syndrome, and have experienced less recent stress than younger adults. It is concluded that psychiatric treatment of depression and restricting access to lethal methods for suicide are more useful tactics for suicide prevention programs in the elderly, and that crisis counseling from suicide prevention centers and educational programs

Abstract:

Victims of interpersonal violence are known to be at increased risk of suicidal ideation and attempts; however, few data exist on the impact that violence has on the risk of death from suicide. This study examined 2153 suicides (1636 males and 517 females) occurring between 2009 and 2012. Information was sourced from the Coroners Court of Victoria’s Suicide Register, a detailed database containing information on all Victorian suicides. Forty-two percent of women who died from suicide had a history of exposure to interpersonal violence, with 23% having been a victim of physical violence, 18% su

Abstract. Background: The effectiveness of suicide intervention programs has not been assessed with experimental designs. Aim: To determine the risk of suicide reattempts in patients engaged in a secondary prevention program. Method: We included 154 patients with suicidal behavior in a quasi-experimental study with a nontreatment concurrent control group. In all, 77 patients with suicidal behavior underwent the Suicide Behavior Prevention Program (SBPP), which includes specialized early assistance during a period of 3–6 months. A matched sample of patients with suicidal behavior (n = 77) was s

Abstract:

Suicide is a major global public health problem, with profound implications for individuals, families, and communities. In the United Kingdom (UK), despite efforts to detect and manage suicidal ideas, suicide rates persist, especially among middle-aged men and women, particularly those aged 45 to 54 years. Recent global challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, conflict, and the environmental crisis, have raised concerns about an increase in suicide rates, particularly among young people. As a result, a population-wide preventive approach based on evidence is imperative to mit

Abstract:

The analysis of suicide notes is an integral part of understanding suicidal behaviour. To this end, Leenaars (1996, 1992) has developed the Thematic Guide to Suicide Prediction (TGSP) for profiling the psychological correlates of suicide. The utility of this tool in suicide prevention, however, is not known. This study applied the TGSP to suicide notes (n = 45), interpreted in the light of coroner's inquest papers, drawn from a Northern Irish population. The results yielded support for the existence of psychological suicidal correlates. Moreover, qualitative differences between depressed and n

Preventive measures against cluster suicides are reviewed, including primary prevention against youth suicide, tempered media reporting of suicide, and “postvention strategies’ directed to communiti

Abstract. Although the majority of the world's suicides occur in Asia, suicide and self-harm are major concerns in Europe as well. Suicide accounts for 1.4% of the total number of deaths in Europe, with rates highest among those aged over 70 and also high among those aged 45–59 years. Europe accounts for six of the top ten countries with the highest suicide rates internationally. Although rates of suicide attempts and self-harm are not consistently recorded, evidence from hospital-based studies and school-based surveys highlight their extent and scale.

Abstract:

This article compares suicide in Greek tragedy and the Hebrew Bible. It concentrates not simply on expressed attitudes but on the actual life situations portrayed in the two sets of narratives promoting or preventing suicide. Perhaps the most striking comparison is the sheer frequency of suicides in Greek tragedy and the infrequency of them in the Hebrew Bible. Most of the suicides in Greek tragedy may be classified as egoistic or altruistic with a number falling in the anomic category. The excused suicides in the Hebrew Bible can be described as covenantal with the most criticized ones fallin

Abstract. Because of the almost complete absence of randomized controlled trials demonstrating the effectiveness of specific treatments, there is sometimes a degree of pessimism about our ability to prevent suicidal behaviors. However, the methodological challenges to produce such research are formidable and may never be overcome. Therefore, a pragmatic review of evidence-based methods of suicide prevention is required. This review of recent studies using a variety of research strategies, both nonpharmacological and pharmacological, particularly at the community level, provides persuasive data

At Children's Nebraska, a simple, personal touch is making a life‐saving difference. The Caring Contacts program — a suicide prevention initiative launched in May 2020 — offers handwritten notes of encouragement to patients following a mental health crisis. What began as a response to rising numbers of children and teens presenting with suicidal ideation has become a core component of the hospital's suicide prevention strategy. Recently celebrating the five‐year program anniversary, Caring Contacts has not only expanded in reach but also achieved a critical clinical outcome: zero reported suic

Abstract:

Whereas traditional ethical discussions of suicide have primarily dealt with questions relating to the moral rightness or wrongness of suicidal acts, the problem of which moral criteria should govern acts of preventing, admitting and aiding suicide has rarely been discussed systematically. In the present paper it is argued (1) that suicide is morally neutral in all cases in which it does not constitute grave damage, material or psychological, to others (e.g. near relatives), (2) that this does not imply that non-prevention, in the same range of cases, is morally neutral as well.

Suicide can be defined as any act by a person of terminating his or her life through his or her own act with a clear intent of ending the life. Suicide is recognized as a serious social problem, but it has not been successfully prevented for a long time. Suicide prevention has not been successful not only because the causes of suicide are complex and complicated, but also because the prevention system has not been well administered. Suicides can be classified into suicides from social, economic and environmental causes; social disconnection and maladjustment; mental and psychological cau
