| Abstract |
Purpose
This study requested and used the raw data of an in-depth investigation of emergency room-injured patients to analyze the characteristics of youths who have attempted intentional self-harm and suicide and the characteristics of youths who have repeatedly self-harmed and attempted suicide.
Methods
This study utilized raw data from an in-depth survey of emergency room injury patients conducted from 2019 to 2020, extracted self-harm and suicide patients aged 9-24 years, defined as adolescents under the Youth Basic Act, and analyzed 2,595 subjects. A chi-square test was performed to identify factors related to suicide reattempts. In addition, multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting suicide re-attempts in depth.
Results
Women were 2.96 times more likely to re-attempt suicide than men (95% CI: 2.468-3.550, p<.001). In terms of reasons for suicide attempts, the probability of re-attempting suicide because of psychiatric problems was 1.354 times higher based on relationship conflict (p<.01). In terms of suicide attempt methods, falls were 0.295 times lower based on burns (p<.001). In terms of suicide attempt outcomes, survival was 0.183 times lower for those who attempted suicide again based on death (p<.05).
Conclusion
Ongoing care and support are needed for adolescents who survive suicide attempts. They should be provided with professional counseling and treatment, and programs should be established to help them adapt well to school and society. |
