ABSTRACT

Introducción La conducta suicida es un problema de salud pública mundial. La Organización Mundial de la Salud estimó en 700 000 los fallecimientos por suicidio para el año 2021. Objetivo El propósito fue estimar la prevalencia de la conducta suicida y describir sus factores relacionados en la Región de Coquimbo, Chile, entre los años 2018 y 2020. Métodos Se analizaron 2190 notificaciones por intentos suicidas del sistema de vigilancia epidemiológica regional, que correspondieron a 1781 personas; junto con 217 informes de personas fallecidas por suicidio del Servicio Médico Legal. Resultados La tasa global de suicidio para la región en el período fue de 9,79 fallecimientos por 100 000 habitantes. Se estandarizaron las tasas del año 2018 según la información disponible, con método directo para la tasa regional (9,55 por 100 000 habitantes) e indirecto para las comunas. Las comunas rurales presentaron mayores tasas que las urbanas. Las mujeres mostraron mayor riesgo de intentos (: 1,28; intervalo de confianza 95%: de 1,23 a 1,33) y menor riesgo de suicidio (0,086; de 0,06 a 0,13) que los hombres. Las personas jóvenes presentaron mayor riesgo de intentos y menor riesgo de suicidio, comparado con personas mayores. Destaca el aumento de la tasa de suicidio en personas mayores (de 70 a 79 años) durante el año 2020. El nivel educacional básico es una variable de riesgo para suicidio (2,21; de 1,15 a 4,23), comparado con educación universitaria. Los intentos de suicidio previos y patología psiquiátrica son factores de riesgo. Conclusiones La prevalencia de suicidio y los factores relacionados son similares a lo reportado en otros estudios e informes nacionales, destacando la ruralidad y mayor riesgo en varones de edad adulta avanzada. A diferencia de los suicidios, los intentos son más frecuentes en mujeres y personas jóvenes. Antecedentes de problemas de salud mental, intentos previos y violencia en la familia son factores de riesgo para ambas conductas. Conocer el comportamiento de la conducta suicida en la población es fundamental para su prevención.


Introduction Suicidal behavior is a public health problem worldwide. The World Health Organization estimated 700 000 deaths for the year 2021. Objective This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of suicidal behavior and describe its related factors in the Coquimbo Region, Chile, between 2018 and 2020. Methods 2190 suicide attempt notifications from the regional epidemiological surveillance system were analyzed, corresponding to 1781 people, along with 217 reports from the Forensic Medical Service of people who died by suicide. Results The overall suicide rate for the region during that period was 9.79 deaths per 100 000 inhabitants. The 2018 rates were standardized according to available information, with direct methods for the regional rate (9.55 per 100 000 inhabitants) and indirect methods for the communes. Rural communes presented higher rates than urban ones. Women showed a higher risk of attempts (OR 1.28; 95% CI 1.23 to 1.33) and a lower risk of suicide compared to men (0.086; 0.06 to 0.13). Young people had a higher risk of suicide attempts and a lower risk of suicide compared to older people. The increased suicide rates in older people (70 to 79 years) during 2020 are noteworthy. Basic education level is a risk variable for suicide (2.21; from 1.15 to 4.23), compared to having higher education. Previous suicide attempts and psychiatric pathology are risk factors. Conclusions Suicide prevalence and related factors are similar to those reported in other studies and national reports, highlighting rurality and higher risk in older male adults. In contrast to suicides, attempts are more frequent in women and young people. A history of mental health problems, previous attempts, and family violence are risk factors for both outcomes. Knowing the patterns of suicidal behavior in the population is fundamental for its prevention.

ABSTRACT

Background: Poisoning is a common medico-social problem in our country causing around 300,000 episodes and around 2000 deaths per year. Attempted suicide among adult females are a major public health problem. The number of self-poisoning in females are increasing in our country day by day. The incidence, nature, etiology, age group affected and the outcome of self-poisoning in females of our country is different from that of the western world. Objective: The objective of the study was to analysis the socio-demographic profile & pattern of deliberate self-poisoning among adult females admitted in the Medicine Department, Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted in the Department of Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital from January 2016 to June 2016. 100 admitted female participants were enrolled in this study as study population. A purposive sampling method was applied for sampling from study population. Results: The age of the participants were from 18 to 55 years with the mean age of 28.19 (± 9.84) years. Most number of the participants were in 21-29 year’s age group (42%) followed by ?20 year’s (29%). House wife (30%) was the most common occupation followed by student (25%). Most of the participants were from lower economic class (51%), followed by middle class (41%). 48% participants were in primary level, 24% in secondary level and 22% were illiterate. Most of the participants were married (51%), followed by unmarried (35%), divorced (9%) and widow (5%). 62% participants from rural and 38% from urban area. 75% were Muslim and 25% were Hindu. 55% were from the joint family and 45% were from the nuclear family. Most of the self-poisoning occurred between 6 am to 12 pm (42%), followed by 6 pm to 12 am (30%), 12 pm to 6 pm (20%) and 12 am to 6 am (8%). Insecticide was the most common poison materials (43%), followed by drug ingestion (30%), household detergent (13%), rodenticide (6%) and others (8%). Maximum participants reported the reason for self-poisoning was family disharmony (35%) followed by romantic disappointment (27%). 17% participants reported previous suicidal attempt and 11% had previous psychiatric disorder. Nearly half of the participants (43%) sought medical care within 2 hours and one fourth participants (31%) within 4 hours. About two-thirds of the participants (66%) received primary medical care from different govt. hospitals. Most of the female participants with self-poisoning were recovered completely (71%), while 20% participants recovered with complications and 9% participants died. In the study, fatality rate was found 33.3% in rodenticide and 16.3% in insecticide poisoning. Conclusions: As evident from the study, by intervene these problems by various measures might be helpful to prevent many of deliberate self-harm. Early diagnosis and prompt institution of appropriate treatment can make a favorable outcome in deliberate self-poisoning of female participants.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analisar eventos de risco associados ao comportamento suicida em indivíduos atendidos em emergência geral. Métodos: Pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, abordagem qualitativa. Coleta de dados entre dezembro de 2017 e novembro de 2019, com pessoas que tentaram o suicídio, por meio de entrevista com questionário semiestruturado. Dados analisados com Análise de Conteúdo temático. Resultados: Entrevistados 113 participantes, 86 (76,1%) do sexo feminino, 57 (50,4%) na faixa etária entre 18 e 30 anos, 103 (91,2%) heterossexuais, 49 (43,4%) solteiros. Conforme a análise dos dados, o conteúdo foi agrupado em uma categoria com quatro unidades temáticas que deram ênfase às relações familiares traumáticas, presença de histórico de experiências traumáticas para além da família, condições socioeconômicas ecomportamento impulsivo e a percepção de inexistência de fatores de proteção. Sabe-se que no comportamento suicida há interferência das relações com familiares, com amigos e com outras pessoas com as quais haja relacionamento afetivo importante, de forma que o bom vínculo familiar assume papel de proteção ao comportamento suicida, enquanto vínculos familiares conflituosos são potenciais fatores de risco. Considerações finais: Resultados revelaram a experiência da multiplicidade de eventos que influenciaram a decisão pelo suicídio, ênfase para relações afetivas e familiares prejudicadas e experiências traumáticas (AU).


Objective: Analyze risk events associated with suicidal behavior in individuals seen in general emergency care. Methods: Exploratory, descriptive research, qualitative approach. Data were collected from December 2017 to November 2019 with people who attempted suicide through an interview with a semi-structured questionnaire. Data reviewed with thematic Content Analysis. Results: This survey interviewed 113 participants, 86 (76.1%) female, 57 (50.4%) aged between 18 and 30 years, 103 (91.2%) heterosexual, and 49 (43.4%) single. According to the data analysis, the content was grouped into one category with four thematic units that emphasized traumatic family relationships, the presence of a history of traumatic experiences beyond the family, socioeconomic conditions, impulsive behavior, and the perception of the nonexistence of protective factors. It is known that suicidal behavior is influenced by relationships with family members, friends, and other people with whom there is an important emotional relationship. Good family bonds, thus, take on a protective role against suicidal behavior, while conflicting family bonds are potential risk factors. Final remarks: Results disclosed the experience of the multiplicity of events that influenced the decision to commit suicide, emphasizing damaged affective and family relationships and traumatic experiences (AU).

ABSTRACT

Several chemical substances cause toxicological damage to individuals, triggering Exogenous Intoxication (EI) with relevant fatal potential. It is, therefore, essential to describe and compare the epidemiological profile of EI cases reported in Bahia before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative analytical approach was used, and secondary data were extracted, in August 2022, from the Notifiable Diseases Information System, cases of EI between January 2018 and December 2021, Bahia. Age, sex, color, circumstance, and causative agent were analyzed and described in frequency and proportions, 12,838 cases of EI were reported between 2018-2019. The highest incidence occurred in individuals aged 20-59 years (57.8%), females (59%), and browns (48.8%). Among toxic agents, medication (40.3%) stood out, followed by food and beverages (10%), rodenticides (6.8%), and drugs of abuse (6%). Among the circumstances: suicide attempt was highlighted (33.5%). In 2020 and 2021, there were 11,279 cases, higher incidence in individuals aged 20-59 years (59.5%), females (58%), and browns (55%). The toxic agent medication (41.9%) stood out, followed by drugs (10.2%), food and beverages (7.8%), and household products (5.7%). Similar to the previous period, suicide led among circumstances (36.5%). The pandemic did not seem to affect epidemiology significantly. However, the almost 50% increase in the frequency of EI cases due to drug abuse, reinforces the World Report on Drugs (2021), which pointed to a worldwide growth of drugs consumption during the pandemic and alerts attention to mental health of Brazilians.(AU)


Diversas substâncias químicas causam danos toxicológicos aos indivíduos, podendo deflagrar intoxicação exógena (IE) com relevante potencial fatal. É imprescindível assim, descrever e comparar perfil o epidemiológico dos casos de IE notificados na Bahia antes e durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Utilizou-se abordagem quantitativa analítica, com dados secundários extraídos, em agosto de 2022, do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação, sobre casos de IE, entre janeiro de 2018 a dezembro de 2021, na Bahia. Variáveis idade, sexo, cor, circunstância, agente causador foram analisadas e descritas em frequência e proporções. Foram notificados 12.838 casos de IE entre 2018-2019, a maior incidência ocorreu em indivíduos de 20-59 anos (57,8%), sexo feminino (59%), pardos (48,8%). Entre agentes tóxicos, a principal causa foi medicamentos (40,3%), seguindo alimentos e bebidas (10%), raticidas (6,8%) e drogas de abuso (6%). Dentre circunstâncias, o principal motivo foi tentativa de suicídio (33,5%). Entre 2020-2021, foram 11.279 casos, maior incidência indivíduos de 20-59 anos (59,5%), sexo feminino (58%) e pardos (55%). Destacou-se o agente tóxico medicamentos (41,9%), seguindo drogas (10,2%), alimentos e bebidas (7,8%), produtos de uso domiciliar (5,7%). Quanto às circunstâncias liderou a tentativa de suicídio (36,5%). A pandemia não pareceu afetar significativamente a epidemiologia, porém, o aumento de quase 50% na frequência dos casos de IE por drogas de abuso, comparativamente ao período anterior, reforça o Relatório Mundial sobre Drogas (2021), que apontou crescimento mundial do consumo na pandemia e sugere-se um alerta sobre a saúde mental dos brasileiros.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: identificar a frequência de casos notificados de violência autoprovocada no Espírito Santo entre os anos de 2011 a 2018 e os fatores associados. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal que utilizou todos os casos notificados de violência autoprovocada registrados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação entre 2011 e 2018 no estado do Espírito Santo. A análise multivariada foi realizada pela Regressão de Poisson e o estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: a prevalência da violência autoprovocada foi de 25,1% (IC95%: 24,6-25,5). O grupo de 10 a 19 anos de idade teve uma prevalência cerca de 19 vezes maior de notificação de violência autoprovocada, assim como, pessoas de raça/cor branca (RP: 1,26) e com deficiência/transtornos (RP: 2,85) apresentaram maior frequência desse agravo. Foi observado maior prevalência entre aqueles sem suspeita de uso de álcool (RP: 2,36), com a ocorrência cerca de 4 vezes maior na residência, e, um aumento em cerca de 50% dos casos sem caráter de repetição. Conclusão: a violência autoprovocada no Espírito Santo se apresentou elevada no período estudado e esteve associada a características da vítima e do evento. Profissionais de saúde são fundamentais no processo de rastreio desse agravo e consequentemente em traçar estratégias de prevenção e proteção das vítimas.(AU)

Multivariate analysis was performed using Poisson Regression.Results: the prevalence of self-inflicted violence was 25.1%. The 10 to 19-year-old group had a prevalence of approximately 19 times greater self-inflicted violence report, as did people of white race/color (PR: 1.26) and people with disabilities/disorders (PR: 2.85) showed a higher frequency of this problem. A higher prevalence was observed among those without suspected alcohol use (PR: 2.36), with an occurrence approximately four times higher in the home, and an increase in approximately 50% of non-repeating cases.Conclusion: reports of self-inflicted violence in Espírito Santo were high during the period studied and were associated with characteristics of the victim and the event. Health professionals are fundamental in the process of tracking this problem and consequently in the process of designing prevention and protection strategies for victims.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To understand the current situation of suicide attempts in middle school students and to explore its relation with adolescent parent attachment, to provide a basis for the prevention and control of middle school students suicidal behavior.@*Methods@#A total of 4 419 students from grades 7 to 12 in Ezhou City and Xiaogan City, Hubei Province were selected by stratified cluster random sampling. The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were used to conduct a questionnaire Survey, and evaluated the suicide attempts of middle school students.@*Results@#The detection rate of attempted suicide among middle school students was 6.8%. The detection rate of attempted suicide varies among different grades, family types, parental relation, parenting style, family income, self esteem level, and psychological distress( χ 2/ t =3.88, 10.12, 18.00, 52.54, 13.90 , 2.37, 8.99, P <0.05). The scores of paternal attachment and maternal attachment ( 14.64 ±13.45, 14.77±12.26) in the group with attempted suicide were lower than those without attempted suicide(22.05±16.08, 23.79±14.93)( t =-9.07, -12.11, P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that both paternal attachment and maternal attachment were associated with lower rate of suicide attempts among middle school students(paternal attachment, OR=0.99, 95%CI = 0.98 -0.99; maternal attachment OR=0.97, 95%CI =0.96-0.98), with paternal attachment for girls only( OR=0.98, 95%CI= 0.97 -0.99)(P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Adolescent parent attachment may be a protective factor for middle school students suicide attempts. Sex specific effects are observed in adolescent father attachment in girls. Parents should pay attention to cultivating a good attachment relationship with their children and promote the healthy growth of middle school students.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Introdução: O suicídio é um grave problema de saúde pública, ainda permeado de estigmas, fato que dificulta o registro desses eventos e o cuidado às pessoas envolvidas. Por se tratar de um acontecimento multicausal, a construção do cuidado perpassa por ações intersetoriais. Objetivo: Cartografar os elementos envolvidos no contexto de vida de uma mulher que tentou suicídio (usuária-guia), destacando os caminhos percorridos no processo de subjetivação e na produção de cuidado no seu território existencial. Método: Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com a própria usuária-guia, amigos, familiares e profissionais de saúde. Esta pesquisa foi realizada no município de Icapuí-CE de agosto/2018 a março/2019. A análise baseou-se em conceitos da Filosofia da Diferença, da teoria de Michel Foucault e da Saúde Coletiva. Resultados: Os caminhos trilhados pela usuária-guia formaram seu território existencial, nesse processo de territorialização, desterritorialização e reterritorialização. Percebeu-se que a rede social foi sua maior proteção, mas também sua maior vulnerabilidade, perpassando por estigmas e identificações. Conclusões: Considerando o despreparo dos profissionais de saúde e da comunidade em lidar com o suicídio, aposta-se em programas permanentes e intersetoriais de prevenção, capacitação e amparo às pessoas envolvidas nesse contexto, além de práticas interprofissionais, principalmente na Atenção Primária à Saúde.


Abstract Background: Suicide is a serious public health problem, still permeated by stigma, a fact that makes it difficult to record these events and care for the people involved. As it is a multicausal event, the construction of care goes through intersectoral actions. Objective: To map the elements involved in the life context of a woman who attempted suicide (guide user), highlighting the paths taken in the subjectivation process and in the production of care in her existential territory. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the guide user, her friends, family, and health professionals. This research was carried out in the city of Icapuí,Ceará, from August/2018 to March/2019. The analysis was based on concepts of Philosophy of Difference, Michel Foucault's theory, and Collective Health. Results: The paths taken by the guide user formed her existential territory in this process of territorialization, deterritorialization, and reterritorialization. It was noticed that the social network was her greatest protection, but also her greatest vulnerability, crossing stigmas and identifications. Conclusions: Considering the unpreparedness of health professionals and the community in dealing with suicide, we focus on permanent and intersectoral prevention, training and protection programs for people involved in this context, as well as interprofessional practices, especially in Primary Health Care.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify and characterize the care provided to adolescents admitted to an emergency department due to a suicide attempt. Methods: an observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study with a retrospective approach, carried out with medical records of adolescents aged 10 to 19 admitted for suicide attempts, between January 2015 and July 2020, in an emergency department. Data were subjected to descriptive and inferential analysis. Results: eighty-eight service occurrences were identified, mainly to females, exposed to multiple risk factors. Exogenous intoxication was the main method used, occurring at home and on weekdays. There were systemic repercussions, requiring multiple interventions and hospitalizations. Only 26% of cases were notified. Conclusions: adolescents treated for suicide attempts were exposed to multiple risk factors, with intoxication as the main means used. There is concern about the underreporting of cases and the logic of clinical care and medicalization.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: analisar os fatores associados e o desfecho das vítimas de tentativa de suicídio atendidas em um serviço hospitalar de urgência e emergência. Método: estudo observacional, longitudinal, retrospectivo e quantitativo, com dados de 191 prontuários de vítimas de tentativa de suicídio atendidas entre 2013 e 2022 em uma unidade de urgência e emergência. Aplicou-se o Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evalution II (APACHE II) e foram realizadas análises estatísticas descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: a maioria dos pacientes era de homens, adultos, com comorbidades de cunho mental, sendo o mecanismo de autoviolencia mais prevalente o abuso de medicamentos. A grande maioria não possuía tentativas prévias, sobreviveram ao evento e foram encaminhadas após a alta hospitalar para serviços especializados. Conclusão: os fatores associados à tentativa de suicídio são representados pelo sexo masculino, sem companheiro(a) e idade entre 18 e 59 anos. Quanto ao desfecho, aqueles que apresentam elevado escore no APACHE II demonstraram maiores chances de evoluírem para óbito.


Objective: to examine associated factors and outcomes of suicide attempt victims treated at a hospital emergency service. Method: this quantitative, longitudinal, retrospective, observational study considered data from 191 medical records of victims of suicide attempts treated between 2013 and 2022 in an emergency unit. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) was applied, and descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed. Results: most of the patients were men, adults, with mental comorbidities, and medication abuse was the most prevalent self-harm mechanism. The great majority had made no previous attempts, survived the event, and were referred to specialized services after hospital discharge. Conclusion: the factors associated with attempted suicide are being male, single, and aged between 18 and 59 years. As for the outcome, those with high APACHE II scores were more likely to die.

ABSTRACT

Introducción El suicidio es la segunda causa de muerte prematura en personas entre 15 y 29 años, y la tercera en jóvenes entre 15 y 19 años. La adolescencia es un periodo crítico, dado que existe mayor vulnerabilidad para conductas suicidas. La situación en América Latina es crítica, siendo Chile uno de los dos países donde las tasas de suicidio de niños y adolescentes aumentan año tras año. En este estudio se analizan factores de riesgo clínicos, psicológicos y sociofamiliares asociados con la conducta suicida, en una muestra clínica de adolescentes atendidos en el sistema de salud público de la región del Maule. Método El diseño del presente estudio es transversal. En él se utilizó una muestra de 388 adolescentes de 10 a 21 años ingresados al sistema de salud de la Región del Maule. Durante la recogida de información se aplicaron cinco instrumentos de medición (escalas de impulsividad de Barrat, de dificultades de regulación emocional, de depresión, ansiedad y estrés, cuestionario general de búsqueda de ayuda para problemas de salud mental en adolescentes y escala de clasificación de gravedad del suicidio de Columbia). Además se recabó información sociofamiliar y antecedentes relevantes desde las fichas clínicas. Resultados El análisis realizado permitió identificar características distintivas de la conducta suicida adolescente, mediante la descripción de factores clínicos, psicológicos y sociofamiliares evaluados. Conclusión Los adolescentes con historial de intentos de suicidio se caracterizan por presentar ideación suicida, sintomatología ansiosa- depresiva, estrés, insomnio e impulsividad. Asimismo, reportan no tener creencias religiosas, pertenecer a minorías sexuales y haber sido víctima de acoso y/o abuso sexual.


Introduction Suicide is the second leading cause of premature death in people between 15 and 29 years old and the third in young people between 15 and 19 years old. Adolescence is a critical period concerning mental health disorders since there is greater vulnerability to suicidal behaviors. The situation in Latin America is worrying, with Chile being one of the two countries where suicide rates of children and adolescents increase yearly. This study aims to analyze clinical, psychological, family, and social risk factors associated with suicidal behavior in a clinical sample of adolescents treated in the public health system of the Maule region. Methods The study design is cross- sectional. We used a sample of 388 adolescents between 10 and 21 years old admitted to the health system of the Maule Region. The participants were evaluated by applying five measuring instruments (The Barrat Impulsivity Scale, The Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale, The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, The General Help-Seeking Questionnaire for mental health problems in adolescents, and The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale) in addition to collecting social and family information and relevant clinical history from the medical records. Results The analysis allowed us to identify distinctive characteristics of adolescent suicidal behavior by describing clinical, psychological, and family social factors. Conclusions Adolescents with a history of suicide attempts are characterized by having suicidal ideation, anxious-depressive symptoms, stress, insomnia, and impulsiveness. Likewise, they report being non-religious, belonging to sexual minorities, and victims of sexual harassment and/or abuse.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the factors associated with suicide attempts by people with substance use disorders undergoing treatment at the Psychosocial Care Centers for Alcohol and Other Drugs. Method: observational and cross-sectional study carried out with 137 people with substance use disorders undergoing treatment at Psychosocial Care Centers for Alcohol and Other Drugs in a capital city in the southern region of Brazil. Data were collected between April and November 2018 by structured interview and subjected to descriptive, univariate, and multiple quantitative analysis. Results: 51.8% of participants had at least one suicide attempt at some point in their lives. Active suicidal thoughts with intent and planning remained independently associated with the history of attempted suicide (PR: 2.87; CI: 1.04-7.91; p: 0.041). In the univariate analysis, there was an association between suicide attempt and days of physical problems, intensity of suicidal ideation, preparatory acts, depressive feelings, family history of mental disorder, hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital, importance of mental health treatment and medication prescription. Conclusion: more severity of suicidal ideation was identified as a factor associated with a history of suicide attempt. It emphasizes the importance of active listening in professional health practice, the therapeutic bond and reception in health care services.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: este estudio busca describir los individuos evaluados por sobredosis de acetaminofén entre 2019 y 2020 en un centro de referencia de trasplante hepático en Colombia. Metodología: estudio derivado del análisis secundario de historias clínicas entre el 1.º de enero de 2019 y el 31 de diciembre de 2020. Los criterios de inclusión abarcan individuos con ingestión aguda y voluntaria de dosis tóxicas de acetaminofén (>4 g/día). Resultados: sesenta y tres casos, 68% mujeres, 67% menores de 18 años y 54% estudiantes. Reportó historia personal de enfermedad psiquiátrica el 60% y el 35% al menos un intento de suicidio previo. La mediana de dosis de acetaminofén fue 15g, 46% refirieron co-ingesta de otras sustancias y 13% estaba bajo efecto de sustancias psicoactivas. El 57% tenía la intención clara de suicidarse, así como 81% vomitó antes de acudir al servicio de urgencias, 22% recibió medidas de descontaminación y 10% no recibió N - acetilcisteína. Quince individuos desarrollaron lesión hepática aguda, nueve con criterios de severidad. Conclusiones: la población era predominantemente joven, la historia de enfermedad psiquiátrica fue muy prevalente y la mayoría refirieron un evento vital que explicara el comportamiento impulsivo de consumo. Ninguno desarrolló criterios para trasplante hepático, lo cual podría explicarse por la edad de los individuos, los episodios de vómito temprano, y la ausencia de enfermedad hepática crónica o de consumo de sustancias hepatotóxicas.


Objective: this study aims to describe patients with overdose intake of acetaminophen between 2019 and 2020 at a reference center for liver transplantation in Colombia. Methodology: study derived from a secondary analysis of the clinical records between January 1st, 2019, to December 31st, 2020. Inclusion criteria were individuals with voluntary acute ingestion of toxic doses of acetaminophen (>4 g/day). Results: sixty-three cases, 68% women, 67% <18-year-old, and 54% students. 60% had personal history of psychiatric illness and 35% reported at least one previous suicide attempt. The median dose of acetaminophen was 15g, 46% referred to co-ingestion with other substances and 13% were under the effect of any psychoactive substance. 57% had a clear intention of suicide. 81% vomited before the arrival to the emergency room, 22% received decontamination intervention with gastric lavage or activated charcoal, and 10% did not receive any dose of N-Acetylcysteine. Fifteen individuals developed an acute liver injury, nine with severity criteria. Conclusions: the population was predominantly young, the personal history of psychiatric disease was highly prevalent, and most of the cases referred a vital event that explains the impulsive behavior in acetaminophen consumption. None developed criteria for liver transplantation, and this could be explained by the young age of the individuals, the episodes of early vomiting, and the absence of chronic liver disease or hepatotoxic substance consumption.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo Analisar os aspectos clínicos e os fatores associados ao comportamento suicida durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Métodos Estudo transversal e analítico, realizado com registros assistenciais de 130 pacientes que buscaram atendimento em emergência psiquiátrica após ideação, planejamento ou tentativa de suicídio. Utilizou-se um formulário para caracterização sociodemográfica, clínica e terapêutica, assim como para identificação das necessidades de cuidados e dos fatores associados. A análise dos dados foi constituída pelos testes Exato de Fischer, Qui-quadrado de Pearson e pela Regressão de Poisson, considerando nível de significância de 5%. Resultados O comportamento suicida foi expresso pela tentativa de suicídio, ideação e planejamento, predominando no sexo feminino, em adultos jovens, desempregados e de baixa renda familiar, assim como em pacientes com histórico de transtorno mental, de internação psiquiátrica, de tentativas prévias e de abandono terapêutico. As principais alterações psíquicas envolveram ansiedade, depressão, sentimentos de desesperança, alucinações audiovisuais e delírios persecutórios. O consumo de substâncias psicoativas elevou em até 13,8 vezes o risco para tentativa de suicídio e as crises situacionais em 10,6 vezes a ideação. Ainda, a perda de renda e a internação anterior foram associados à manifestação do comportamento. As evidências de cuidados envolveram intervenções medicamentosas, medidas de vigilância e admissão hospitalar. Conclusão Durante a pandemia da COVID-19, o comportamento suicida foi associado à maior predisposição para o consumo de substâncias psicoativas, crises situacionais e perda de renda. Destaca-se a necessidade de políticas públicas voltadas para identificação, prevenção e gerenciamento adequado dos estados de risco.

Se utilizó un formulario para la caracterización sociodemográfica, clínica y terapéutica, como también para la identificación de las necesidades de cuidados y de los factores asociados. El análisis de los datos estuvo constituido por la prueba Exacta de Fisher, Ji cuadrado de Pearson y por la Regresión de Poisson, considerando un nivel de significancia del 5 %. Resultados El comportamiento suicida se expresó a través del intento de suicidio, ideación y planificación, con predominio del sexo femenino, adultos jóvenes, desempleados y con bajos ingresos familiares, así como pacientes con historial de trastorno mental, de internación psiquiátrica, de intentos previos y de abandono terapéutico. Las principales alteraciones psíquicas incluyeron ansiedad, depresión, sentimientos de desesperanza, alucinaciones audiovisuales y delirios de persecución. El consumo de substancias psicoactivas aumentó 13,8 veces el riesgo de intento de suicidio, y las crisis situacionales aumentaron 10,6 veces la ideación. Además, la pérdida de ingresos e internaciones anteriores se asociaron a la manifestación del comportamiento. Las evidencias de cuidados incluyeron intervenciones medicamentosas, medidas de vigilancia y admisión hospitalaria. Conclusión Durante la pandemia de COVID-19, el comportamiento suicida se asoció a un aumento de la predisposición al consumo de sustancias psicoactivas, crisis situacionales y pérdida de ingresos. Se destaca la necesidad de políticas públicas orientadas hacia la identificación, prevención y una gestión adecuada de los estados de riesgo.


Abstract Objective To analyze the clinical aspects and factors associated with suicidal behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Cross-sectional analytical study performed with care records of 130 patients who sought care in the psychiatric emergency department after suicidal ideation, planning or attempt. A form was used for sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic characterization, and for identification of care needs and associated factors. Data analysis consisted of Fischer's exact test, Pearson's chi-square test and Poisson's regression, considering a significance level of 5%. Results Suicidal behavior was expressed by suicide attempt, ideation and planning. It was predominant in the female sex, young adults, unemployed, with low family income, and in patients with a history of mental disorder, psychiatric hospitalization, previous attempts and of therapeutic abandonment. The main psychic alterations involved anxiety, depression, feelings of hopelessness, audiovisual hallucinations and persecutory delusions. The consumption of psychoactive substances increased by up to 13.8 times the risk for suicide attempt, while situational crises increased suicidal ideation by up to 10.6 times. The loss of income and previous hospitalization were associated with manifestation of the behavior. Evidence of care involved drug interventions, surveillance measures, and hospital admission. Conclusion During the COVID-19 pandemic, suicidal behavior was associated with a greater predisposition to consume psychoactive substances, situational crises and loss of income. The need for public policies aimed at the identification, prevention and adequate management of risk states stands out.

ABSTRACT

Este artículo es el resultado de una investigación que da cuenta de la relación entre el intento de suicidio y la micropolítica en jóvenes de una institución educativa del municipio de Chinchiná, Caldas, Colombia. El referente teórico se basa en las discusiones en torno a los conceptos de micropolítica y cuerpo. La fundamentación epistemológica y metodológica fue fenomenológica hermenéutica. Todo esto dio la posibilidad de que los jóvenes en sus narrativas autobiográficas relataran sus vidas y encontraran nuevas posibilidades de existencia. Se encontraron categorías como: el encuentro con el mundo, un mundo sin cuidado, la violencia sexual, el cuerpo como espacio de comunicación, la incertidumbre, entre otras. Se concluye la importancia de comprender los procesos de singularización de los jóvenes para interpretar los sentidos que le dan al cuerpo y su relación con la micropolítica; asimismo, cómo los jóvenes manifiestan su rechazo a la producción de subjetividad capitalista a través del intento de suicidio


This article is the result of an investigation that gives an account of the relationship between suicide attempts and micropolitics in young people of an educational institution in the municipality of Chinchiná, Caldas, Colombia. The theoretical reference is based on discussions around the concepts of micropolitics and the body. The epistemological and methodological foundation was hermeneutic phenomenological. All this gave the possibility for young people in their autobiographical narratives to relate their lives and find new possibilities of existence Categories such as the encounter with the world, a world without a care, sexual violence, the body as a space of communication, uncertainty, among others, were found. It concludes the importance of understanding the processes of singularization of young people to interpret the senses they give to the body and its relationship with micropolitics. Likewise how young people manifest their rejection of the production of capitalist subjectivity through the attempt of suicide

ABSTRACT

Fundamento: una de las especialidades de posgrado que más ha impactado en el sistema nacional de salud es Medicina General Integral sustentada en el enfoque social de la medicina. Objetivo: determinar las tendencias históricas del proceso de formación profesional del especialista en Medicina General Integral y su influencia en el desarrollo de la competencia específica para prevenir el intento de suicidio. Métodos: se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sistemática para desarrollar un análisis crítico reflexivo del contenido de documentos, se consideraron tesis de doctorado, maestría, artículos originales y de revisión publicados entre 2005 y 2021 en español e inglés. La búsqueda fue realizada en las bases de datos SciELO y Google académico de enero 2021 a marzo de 2022. Desarrollo: a pesar del desarrollo alcanzado por la especialidad aún es insuficiente la preparación de ese capital humano como verdadero promotor de salud, porque no ha sido estructurado pensando en tales idoneidades y subyacen debilidades en su actuar preventivo donde la especialización de modos de actuación para prevenir el intento de suicidio como daño a la salud se ubica en vínculo indisoluble con la práctica asistencial de este galeno y necesita ser empoderado de conocimientos para elevar su competencia y desempeño exitoso. Conclusiones: el tratamiento de los indicadores en las etapas analizadas permite revelar las principales tendencias históricas del proceso de formación profesional del especialista en Medicina General Integral por lo que el desarrollo de una competencia preventivo-suicidológica emerge como una necesidad en su superación profesional.


Intoduction: one of the postgraduate specialties that has had the most impact on the national health system is Comprehensive General Medicine based on the social approach to medicine. Objective: to determine the historical trends of the professional training process of the Comprehensive General Medicine specialist and its influence on the development of the specific competence to prevent suicidal attempt. Methods: a systematic bibliographic review was carried out to develop a reflexive critical analysis of the content of documents, considering doctoral and master's theses, original and review articles published from 2005 to 2021 in Spanish and English. The search was carried out in the SciELO and academic Google databases from January 2021 to March 2022. Development: despite the development achieved by the specialty, the preparation of this human capital as a true health promoter is still insufficient, because it has not been structured with such qualifications in mind and there are underlying weaknesses in its preventive action where the specialization of modes of action to prevent The suicidal attempt as damage to health is inextricably linked with the care practice of this doctor and needs to be empowered with knowledge to increase his competence and successful performance. Conclusions: the treatment of the indicators in the stages analyzed allows revealing the main historical trends of the professional training process of the specialist in Comprehensive General Medicine, so the development of a preventive-suicidal competence emerges as a necessity in their professional improvement.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to analyze the time trends of suicide attempts assisted by the Fire Department of the Military Police of the State of São Paulo (Corpo de Bombeiros da Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo — CBPMESP) from 2017 to 2021, between sexes. Methods: This is an ecological study of 11,435 suicide attempts assisted by CBPMESP calls from January 2017 to December 2021. Three seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving average with exogenous (SARIMAX) models were adjusted considering total population, only men, and only women. Results: The total occurrences of suicide attempts were stationary in the prepandemic period but had an increased growth pattern after the pandemic began. This trend was higher among men, due to (1) lower assistance of suicide attempts during early pandemic than in the prepandemic period and (2) significant increased assistance after the beginning of vaccination against COVID-19, followed by a decrease, but with a tendency to increase, in the long-term pandemic. Conclusion: Our results indicate a growth in the long-term suicide attempts during COVID-19. The beginning of vaccination was not considered significant in the reduction of CBPMESP attendances. These results corroborate the need for a multisectoral national suicide prevention strategy to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on mental health in the State of São Paulo.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar as tendências temporais das tentativas de suicídio atendidas pelo Corpo de Bombeiros da Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo (CBPMESP) de 2017 a 2021, entre os sexos. Métodos: Estudo ecológico de 11.435 tentativas de suicídio atendidas pelo CBPMESP de janeiro de 2017 a dezembro de 2021. Três modelos autorregressivos integrados e de médias móveis sazonais multiplicativos com variáveis explicativas (SARIMAX) foram ajustados considerando-se a população total, apenas homens e apenas mulheres. Resultados: As ocorrências totais de tentativas de suicídio foram estacionárias no período pré-pandemia, mas tiveram um padrão de crescimento aumentado após o início da pandemia. Essa tendência foi maior entre os homens, seguindo o seguinte padrão: (a) menor ocorrência de tentativas de suicídio entre homens no início da pandemia quando comparado ao período pré-pandemia; e (b) aumento significativo das ocorrências após o início da vacinação contra COVID-19 no Estado de São Paulo, seguido de queda, mas com tendência de aumento na pandemia de longo prazo. Conclusão: Nossos resultados indicam aumento nas tentativas de suicídio em longo prazo durante a COVID-19. O início da vacinação não foi considerado significativo na diminuição dos atendimentos do CBPMESP. Esses resultados corroboram a necessidade de uma estratégia nacional multissetorial de prevenção ao suicídio para mitigar os efeitos da pandemia na saúde mental no Estado de São Paulo.
