Inpatient suicide in a psychiatric hospital: Fourteen years’ observation (original) (raw)
2016, Asian Journal of Psychiatry
AI-generated Abstract
Inpatient suicide presents a significant concern within psychiatric facilities, particularly noted for a disparity in rates compared to the general population. This study retrospectively examines the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with completed inpatient suicide in a psychiatric hospital over a 14-year period (2000-2013) in India, identifying key risk factors contrasting with a control group. Findings reveal prevalent diagnoses of schizophrenia and affective disorders among suicide completers, along with notable patterns regarding methods and timing of suicides, with cultural contexts (notably religion) playing a vital role in attitudes toward suicide.
