Descrição
Introduction
Nowadays is consensual the confluence of internal factors and external factors concerning to suicidal behaviours. Our focus is related to environmental factors mainly the family history of completed suicide or suicide attempts. Methods: We
applied a semi-structured interview in our Suicide Research and Prevention Unit covering both social and clinical aspects.
We compared two samples of young suicide attempters (n=448): one, who had family history of suicidal behaviours (36%) and others. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 22.
Results
Concerning the first sample, we found these main differences: More suicidal behaviours, developing abnormalities, physical abuse, brothers and sisters, psychiatric disorders in family, financial problems, bereavement and anniversary reactions; Less religious.
Discussion
Despite we didn't study eventual neuro-genetic aspects, it's remained without doubt the relevance of modelling effect confirmed after the clinical evaluation. Reinforce this idea we found strong individual and social vulnerabilities in this sub
sample and less protective factors such as religion and the notion of belonging.
Conclusions
This sub sample of young suicidal attempters highlighted the need of a multilevel intervention with individual, familial and social approach in order to prevent suicidal behaviours. These needs appealto an ecological and systemic intervention with
healthy, educational, social and political authorities.
