24th European Congress of Psychiatry / European Psychiatry 33S (2016) S349–S805

Goals

Compare data of suicide attempts between 1996 and 2014

in the University Hospital of Valladolid. Influence of the economic

crisis on suicide data. Expose the risk factors. Provide prevention

strategies.

Material and methods

We have performed a study of epidemio-

logical surveillance collecting descriptive data of suicide attempts;

using the samemethodology as in1996. The variables studiedwere:

sex, age, day, month, residence, method, personal status, education,

employment status, religious believes, family history of suicide,

psychiatric history and family and personal psychiatric history.

Results

Increase in the rate of suicide attempts 27%. Distribution

by sex is similar, but in 2014, a higher proportion was observed in

males. The percentage of women is significantly higher than that

of men in the group of teenagers (10–19 years old) (20% women vs.

4.5% of men;

P

= 0.005); 83.5% have a psychiatric diagnosis (54.2%

of them have a depressive disorder). Unemployment and economic

problems stand out as environmental stressors in 2014. The main

suicide method used in Valladolid is the hanging, and the second

method used is the precipitation.

Conclusions

The primary, secondary and tertiary prevention

strategies are very important. Suicide is the major cause of mor-

tality in the young age group (15–24 years old). Mortality in the

general populationhas beenon a downward trend; but suicide rates

per 100,000 population has remained stable over the last decade.

The aim of the study was to identify inpatients due to autolytic

behavior in the acute psychiatric hospitalization of Dr. R. Lafora

Hospital. It is an observational, descriptive and retrospective study.

We collected information about patients aged 18 to 64 who

were hospitalized during the month of January of 2015 in the

acute psychiatric hospitalization by Selene software. The results

were analyzed by SPSS software; 53.3% of patients diagnosed

with schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders were

hospitalized for acute exacerbation of paranoid schizophrenia;

57.1% of personality disorders for suicide attempts, 28.6% autolytic

ideation; 28.6% of bipolar disorders due tomania, 28.6% depression,

28.6% mixed clinical and 14.29% suicide attempts; 60% of alco-

hol use disorders for autolytic ideation, 20% intoxication; 100% of

substance-related and addictive disorders due to autolytic ideation;

100% of feeding and eating disorders for autolytic ideation; 50%

of obsessive-compulsive and related disorders due to autolytic

ideation; 100% of adjustment disorders with depressed mood due

to drug over-eating; 100% of adjustment disorders withmixed anx-

iety and depressed mood for mixed clinic; 16.7% of depressive

disorders due to dysthymia, 16.7% due tomajor depressive episode,

16.7% for moderate depressive episode, 16.7% for mild depressive

episode with mixed nature, 16.7% for drug over-eating, 16.7% for

autolytic ideation. It would be important to focus on patients with

a diagnosis of adjustment disorders, personality disorders, alco-

hol use disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders and

bipolar disorders, providing community care and avoiding the risks

associated psychiatric hospitalization.

Introduction

There is emerging evidence that suicide and suicidal

behavior frequently occur in people with autistic spectrum disor-

ders (ASD), although this topic is largely understudied. We have

little understanding of suicidal behavior among individuals with

ASD and there are no empirical data to guide practitioners in the

treatment of suicidality in persons with ASD. There is a need to

investigate risk factors associated with suicidal behavior in persons

with ASD, to improve prevention strategies and interventions.

Objectives

To get an overview from literature of risk factors for

suicidality in individuals with ASD.

Methods

Review of the literature using Cochrane Collaboration

Centre, Embase, Medline, PsychINFO, PubMed, andWeb of Science.

Results

In the literature, we found that, among already known

risk factors like comorbid depression, an underlying vulnerability

in personality may be a risk factor for suicidal behavior. Several

studies showed that a high score on the temperament factor ‘nov-

elty seeking’ and ‘harm avoidance’ is associated with suicidality. In

other studies, where suicidality was not an object of study, adults

with ASD showed high scores on ‘harm avoidance’ and low scores

on ‘novelty seeking’. This suggests that personality profiles may

be of predictive value for suicidality in adults with ASD. A study

proposal focused on this possible association be presented.

Methods of suicide in old age in Israel:

Age and gender differences

B. Katz

Western Galile College, Criminology, Acre, Israel

Introduction

Suicide rates in the western world rise with age

among both men and women. However, suicide at older ages gets

less consideration in research and prevention strategies compared

to younger age groups.

Objective

This study examines the differences between men and

women in Israel in the method chosen for committing suicide over

three decades, focusing on the elderly (younger seniors 65–75,

and older seniors 75+) and compares them to younger age groups

(15–24; 25–44; 45–64).

Methods

Suicide rates by age, gender and the method chosen are

calculated based on data from official publications of the Ministry

of Health in Israel over the years 1981–2008.

Results

The findings of the study show that in all the methods

used to commit suicide [hanging, drowning, fire, getting run over

by a motor vehicle, jumping from heights, drugs and poisons, the

suicide rate of the elderly (age group 75 and up)], followed by

ages 65–75 was higher than the suicide rate of younger age groups

(15–24; 25–44; 45–64) except for the use of weapons. In all age

groups, the male suicide rate was higher than females, with the

exception of taking poison for 75 year olds and above. In this age

group, the females’ rate of suicide was higher than males.

Conclusions

These findings reveal the need develop strategies to

prevent suicide in the community in general, and especially among

seniors. Particular attention should be devoted regarding the use

of drugs and various poisonous substances among elderly women.
