dc.description.en-US.fl_txt_mv | This article reports the first description of the methods profile in suicide attempts conducted up to date in Jujuy (Argentina), and a discussion of its implications for prevention. The study was epidemiological and transversal. Data set include all suicide attempts (n = 481) psychologically assisted during two biennia at the Emergency Service of the main hospital. Using a single method was prevalent (84%) in all age ranges and in both sexes, but combining methods it is characterized by males (p< .05). Self-poisoning by medications (39.8%) and self-harm by cuts (27.3%) were the most frequent in both sexes. Non-violent methods were prevalent in both sexes, although males tended to use more violent and potentially more lethal methods. Some of the identified methods might be prevented simply by limiting their availability (e.g., medications, especially psychotropic, alcoholic beverages, jumping sites, firearms). Instead, other methods (e.g., hanging, gases, cleaning products, etc.) are difficult to be restricted. |
dc.description.es-ES.fl_txt_mv | Se realizó la primera descripción del perfil de métodos en intentos suicidas en Jujuy (Argentina) y se discutieron sus implicancias para prevención. El estudio fue epidemiológico, transversal. Se incluyeron todos los intentos suicidas asistidos psicológicamente durante dos bienios en el Servicio de Guardia del principal hospital (n = 481). Usar un solo método fue prevalente (84%) en todas las franjas etarias y ambos sexos, pero combinar métodos caracterizó a masculinos (p< .05). Auto-envenenamiento con medicamentos (39.8%) y auto-lesión mediante cortes (27.3%) fueron los más frecuentes en ambos sexos. Métodos no violentos fueron prevalentes en ambos sexos, aunque masculinos tendieron a usar métodos más violentos y potencialmente más letales. Algunos métodos de los hallados podrían ser objeto de intervenciones preventivas que limiten su disponibilidad (e.g. medicamentos, especialmente psicofármacos, bebidas alcohólicas, lugares de salto, armas de fuego). En cambio, otros métodos (e.g. ahorcamiento, gases, productos de limpieza, etc.) parecen de difícil restricción. |
