摘要:

ABSTRACT—Among 523 (350 males, 173 females) suicides in 1977–1984, subjects who had had contact with psychiatric care (PC) (63%) were compared with those who had never had such contact (NPC) (37%). The male: female ratios in the PC and NPC groups were 1.6 and 3.0, respectively. Intoxication with drugs and or alcohol was the main method of suicide among the PC subjects, and hanging and intoxication with carbon monoxide predominated among subjects of the NPC group. High percentages of divorces and widows/widowers were characteristic of both groups. Among men and women of the PC group the age groups in which the highest mean suicide rates per 100 000 were found were 45–54 and 55–64 years respectively. The corresponding age groups in the NPC group were ≥ 75 and ≥ 70 years. In the PC group the number of admissions to psychiatric hospitals was more than three in 55% of the subjects and more than eight in 25%. Seventy‐three percent had had psychiatric contact within 6 months before the suicide. About 40% in each group had had depressive syndromes. Somatic disease of relevance to the suicides was found among 10% of the PC subjects and 20% of the NPC. About 1/4 of the subjects in both groups had expressed serious suicidal intent shortly before the suicide. The importance of information and education about suicide problems among personnel and relatives

摘要:

Suicide rates in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden for the past few years are presented. Despite the fact that the Nordic countries, both historically and at present, have many features in common, differences between the countries in the frequency of suicide are pronounced. These differences and the reliability of Nordic suicide statistics are discussed.

摘要:

ABSTRACT—Among 523 suicides committed in 1977–1984, 10 took place in a psychiatric hospital ward, 17 after the patient had left the ward without permission, 21 while the patient was on leave and nine 0–7 days after discharge. These 57 subjects were compared with 271 suicides committed more than 7 days after discharge or during outpatient care only (PCO). The male:female ratio was 1.0 in the former (PCI) group and 2.0 in the PCO group. The median age of the PCI subjects was 38 years. The suicide method was hanging in all 10 suicides (2 males, 8 females) committed in the psychiatric hospital ward. Depressive syndromes and, particularly schizophrenic and paranoid psychoses were more frequent among the PCI than among the PCO subjects. The extent of psychiatric care, as assessed by the number of admissions, was much greater in the PCI than in the PCO subjects. Environmental factors that might have been of causative importance for the suicidal act were of various kinds and differed to some extent between the two grups. Among the PCI subjects women seemed to have experienced family troubles more often than men, and situations of stressful psychiatric rehabilitation were more common amon

摘要:

Procedures followed in reporting and registrering death in each of the Scandinavian countries are scrutinized to find out whether the pronounced difference in the suicide rates between Norway and the other Scandinavian countries might be due to the under‐reporting of suicide in Norway. A survey is also given of the practices followed when classifying and coding cause‐of‐death. The routine and practice followed when registering, classifying and coding varies considerably from country to country. However, none of the procedural differences could explain the low Norwegian rates and the Norwegian suicide statistics were found to be at least as accurate and reliable as those in Denmark, Finland or S

摘要:

ABSTRACT—In a long‐term follow‐up study of 44 female alcoholics, a family history of alcoholism was related to younger age of onset of problem drinking, but did not necessarily imply a poorer outcome within this highly selected group of individuals. Alcoholism in father and his family was not related to either antisocial or borderline personality disorder nor outcome. However, alcoholism in mother and her family correlated with both borderline personality disorder and a significantly poorer outcome. The findings are discussed within different frames of reference, considering genetic mechanisms, psychodynamic factors and family systems t

摘要:

Sources of error theoretically possible in the registration of suicide are discussed. Using cause‐of‐death statistics for each of theNordic countries, the relative influence of the various sources of error is evaluated. Two types of sources of error are identified, one is when cause‐of‐death is registered as drowning and the other is when it is registered as “unknown”. Results have shown however, that the low probability of suicide in these cases, and consequently small numbers involved, could hardly influence differences in rates between the Nordic countries. The differences found in suicide statistics therefore reflect true differences in the frequency of suicide between thes
