| description | INTRODUCTION: the aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of suicidal ideation among Moroccan consultants in primary health care system. METHODS: we conducted a cross sectional survey in three health care centers in two cities of Morocco to estimate the prevalence of suicidal ideation, plan and suicide attempts among 396 consultants in the primary health care system, using the Mini International neuropsychiatric interview. Patients were 18 years and older, without known psychiatric or chronic somatic disease. Statistical analysis was performed by the SPSS 13.0 software. RESULTS: The prevalence of suicidal ideation was 5, 3%, and 2.7 % of the patients planned their suicide and 1.2 % tried to commit suicide. The multivariate analysis did not demonstrate significant association. CONCLUSION: Suicidal ideation, plan and suicide attempts are prevalent in primary health care patients, but they are still under diagnosed. An adequate training of physicians and the establishment of education programs is essential to reduce the rate of suicide. |
