Introduction
Suicide is a dramatic suicidality complication and a significant worldwild public health problem. Sixty percent of suicidal deaths are preceded by at least one suicide attempt.
Objectives
to search and estimate the factors predicting a suicidal recidivism
Methods
We conducted a retrospective descriptive survey, achieved in psychiatric departement A of Razi hospital on 60 patients hospitalized during a period of 10 years (from January 2010 to December 2019) and have committed at least a suicide attempt. Data collected from medical folders in order to explore sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients.
Results
The mean age of the sample was 30 years. A high prevalence of female was objectified. There were a low level of education for 53%, most of patients (55%) were unemployed and came from urban area. Among our patients, 39% attempted suicide for a one time. 61% of patients attempted suicide for several times. The main risk factors related to recidivism of suicidal behavior were unemployment, family history of psychiatric disorders and family instability.
Conclusions
The analysis of these results justifies preventive actions in order to face the increase of suicidal recidivism by searching for these associated factors. Therefore, a multidisciplinary intervention approach is required.
