Abstract

Background: Suicide is a multi-factorial phenomenon whose patterns can vary even from one place to another in one country; the purpose of this study was to determine the causes of Suicide attempt in a 6-year period in Larestan County in the period between 2012 and 2017. Methods: The present study was a descriptive-analytic crosssectional study. In order to investigate the epidemiological condition of Suicide attempters in Larestan, all files of Suicide cases registered in the period between 2012 and 2017 in this city were investigated, and finally 723 cases were included in the study. For statistical analysis, independent t-test, chi-square and logistic regression models were used. A significance level of 5% was considered. Results: Of the total 723 Suicide attempts recorded in the health network of Larestan, the mean age at Suicide attempt was 26. 08± 7. 88 years and 3. 73% of them had died as a result of Suicide attempt. Drug abuse and poisoning were the most common methods of suicidal attempt. Based on the regression model, Increase in age, male sex, and physical problems were the most important factors in predicting Suicide death (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Various factors including age, male gender and physical problems contribute to Suicide and deaths associated with it; therefore, the implementation of educational and counseling programs for these individuals, especially in adolescence and youth, and people with physical and psychological problems is essential.
