Abstract

Background and purpose: SUICIDE is one of the most important social issues and a major cause of mortality in Iran. This study was conducted to evaluate the factors associated with SUICIDE deaths in EYVAN, Iran.Materials and methods: Data of all registered SUICIDE cases during 2005-2011 in EYVAN was obtained from the SUICIDE registry in Ilam province. Chi-square test was used to evaluate the relationship between qualitative variables, and logistic regression multivariate analysis was performed to assess the association between potential risk factors and SUICIDE.Results: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 820 cases (mean age: 24.9±9.7 years), including 395 (48.2%) males and 425 (51.8%) females, had attempted SUICIDE. SUICIDE resulted in death in 56 (7.1%) cases. The majority of the study population were single (64%) and about 50% were unemployed. The most common methods of SUICIDE were drug poisoning and SELF-IMMOLATION. There was a significant relationship between marital status, educational level, method of SUICIDE, age (P<0.01), and time of the event (P<0.05) and the SUICIDE outcome. Risk of death due to SUICIDE was four times higher in married individuals, compared to single ones. Moreover, illiterate individuals were 80% more likely to die after SUICIDE, compared to literate ones. SUICIDE through SELF-IMMOLATION caused death 12 times more than that of agricultural pesticides.Conclusion: According to this study, SUICIDE is a serious problem in EYVAN district. Risk of death due to SUICIDE was found to be higher in married and illiterate individuals, as well as those who committed SUICIDE through SELF-IMMOLATION. These results could be of great use for taking preventive measures.
