Conclusion

Results of the study indicate that all attempts of sui-

cide should be taken seriously and crisis hot line and emergency

services should be ensured for this group.

Introduction

Suicidal behaviour represents a global public health

issues; personal suicidal history is the most common predictor of

the persistence and recurrence of suicidal ideation and behaviour

in general.

Objective

This paper proposes to elaborate a synthesis of the

scientific literature, concerning the main predictive factors of the

persistence and recurrence of suicidal behaviour, considering that

the current diagnostic criteria available fail to make a distinction

and to specify clearly the differences between all psychiatric dis-

orders without self-harming behaviour and the same nosological

entity accompanied by suicidal behaviour.

Materials and methods

I conducted a literature review, by ana-

lyzing the data concerning the predictors of the persistence and

recurrence of self-harming behaviour, obtained from articles pub-

lished between January 2013 and January 2015. I browsed the

PubMed website, by keywords such as suicide, suicidal risk, sui-

cide predictor, persistent suicidal ideation, and suicidal behaviour

recurrence.

Results

The scientific literature underscores that that entrap-

ment and defeat are two elements often neglected; however, they

should be a priority criterion, alongside traditional predictive fac-

tors, such as the following: gender, age, history of suicide attempts,

socio-familial status, etc. All of these factors must be considered

within the complex endeavour of assessing suicidal risk. However,

there is still only scarce validated data concerning the mechanism

that leads to entrapment and the one that determines its relation

with self-harming behaviour.

Conclusions

This paper proposes to synthesize the current data

concerning suicide predictors, in order to obtain new research

assumptions. The final purpose is to develop proper preventive and

therapeutic approaches.

Introduction

Studies conducted on Italian samples suggested that

70% of self-harms referred to the emergency room(ER)were suicide

attempts. Suicide attempts are associated with societal, relation-

ship and individual risk factors, which vary with age and gender,

occur in combination, and may change over time. We conducted a

previous study on a sample of psychiatric consultations in ER from

2008 to 2011. We observed that female gender, a permanent job

and being in the warmer months of the year were risk factors for

suicide attempts.

Aim

To update knowledge about risk factors for attempted sui-

cide analyzing a larger sample of ER psychiatric consultations.

Methods

Determinants of emergency room visits for psychiatric

reasons were studied prospectively in a period of 8 years, from

2008 to 2015 at the “Maggiore della Carità” Hospital in Novara.

The psychiatric assessment of patients was performed by experi-

enced psychiatrists with a clinical interview. For each patient, a

data sheet was filled in order to gather demographic and clinical

features. Comparison of qualitative data was performed by means

of the Chi

2

test while differences between groups for continuous

variableswere assessed through a

t

-test. Statistical significancewas

set at

P

0.05. Amultivariate analysis was performed using logistic

regression in order to assess the potential predictors of attempted

suicide. Results are expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confi-

dence intervals (95% CI).

Conclusions

We have collected data from more than 500 psy-

chiatric consultations for attempted suicide. Data collection and

statistical analyses are still ongoing. Implications will be discussed.

Substance abuse is common issue in youth and may influence

youth’s suicide thoughts or actions. It can lead to social isolation,

low self-esteem, loss of work or school, estrangement from family

and friends – all these may create a core of stresses that may lead

to suicidal tendencies.

Analysis addictive factors correlating with occurrence of suicidal

thoughts and behaviours among adolescents at the age of 18–20.

Study was based on authorial, previously validated questionnaire,

included 16 questions about suicidal thoughts. Questionnaires

were filled by adolescents (age 18–20) of 21 Secondary Schools in

Katowice.

From the group of 965 adolescents, 28.8% had suicidal thoughts.

From all respondents: 31.3% smoked, 92.7% drunk alcohol, 16.0%

used legal hights and 30.9% – drugs; 35.8% of smoking adoles-

cents had suicidal thoughts. In group of non-smoked adolescents

– 25.6%. There was statistical significant difference (

P

= 0.0012)

between these groups. Among adolescents who drunk alcohol,

28.8% had suicidal thoughts. In the group of non –drinking alcohol

adolescents – 27.9%. Therewas no statistical significant differences

(

P

= 0.88233) between these groups. There were 43.7% adolescents

with suicidal thoughts who used legal hights. In the group of non-

users of legal hights, 26.0% adolescents had suicidal thoughts.

Adolescents that are using examined stimulants are in the group

risk of suicidal thoughts and autodestructive behaviours. Results

show the need of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic support that
