Abstract:
Systematic review of the relationship between post-traumatic symptomatology and suicidal behavior Abstract: Evidence has consistently demonstrated the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide. However, there is little research related to the differential relationships between the PTSD symptom clusters (avoidance, re-experiencing, hyperarousal and negative alterations in cognitions and mood) and risk and suicidal behavior. The present systematic review studies the relationship between these post-traumatic symptom clusters and suicidal behavior (suicidal ideation and suicide attempts). The review includes 20 articles from the databases PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES and Web of Science. Results indicate that hyperarousal significantly predicts suicidal ideation in 53.33% and suicide attempts in 42.85% of the studies reviewed. Reduction of hyperarousal symptoms should be considered a priority objective in the development of therapeutic interventions to reduce suicide risk in people with post-traumatic conditions or diagnosed with PTSD. Key words: PTSD; hyperarousal symptoms; suicidal ideation; suicide attempt; systematic review. Resumen: Existe evidencia contrastada de la relación entre el trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) y el suicidio. No obstante, existen pocas investigaciones sobre las relaciones diferenciales entre los grupos de síntomas de TEPT (evitación, re-experimentación, hiperactivación y alteraciones negativas cognitivas y del estado de ánimo [ANCE]) y la conducta suicida. La presente revisión sistemática estudia la relación entre estos grupos de síntomas postraumáticos y la conducta suicida (ideación e intentos suicidas). La revisión incluye 20 artículos procedentes de las bases de datos PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES y Web of Science. Los resultados apuntan que la hiperactivación predice de forma significativa la ideación suicida en el 53.33% de los estudios revisados y los intentos de suicidio en el 42.85% de los mismos. La reducción de los síntomas de hiperactivación debe considerarse un objetivo prioritario en la elaboración de intervenciones terapéuticas para reducir el riesgo suicida en personas con cuadros postraumáticos o diagnóstico de TEPT. Palabras clave: TEPT; hiperactivación; ideación suicida; intentos de suicidio; revisión sistemática.

Abstract:
Abstract: Risk and protection variables related to suicidal attempt. Suicide is an important public health problem, being the suicidal attempt the most predictive behavior of completed suicide. The aim of this study was to detect if there are differences in psychosocial and emotional variables in people with and without suicidal ideation and attempt. The sample consisted of 166 participants (86.36% women), aged between 20 and 77 years (M= 36, SD= 14.12) with and without suicide attempts, which was in turn divided into three groups through the Scale of Suicidal Ideation. The results show that there are important differences between the three groups in the psychological variables measured. We discuss the role of psychosocial variables, which are at the base of the increased risk or protection towards the ideation or suicidal attempt, to promote public suicide prevention policies more focused on those clinical subpopulations with specific risk profiles.Resumen: El suicidio es un importante problema de salud pública, siendo la tentativa de suicidio la conducta más predictiva del suicidio consumado. Mediante el presente estudio se pretende detectar si existen diferencias en variables psicosociales y emocionales en personas con y sin ideación y tentativa suicida. La muestra estuvo constituida por 166 participantes (86.36 % mujeres), con edades comprendidas entre los 20 y 77 años (M= 36; DT= 14.12) con y sin tentativas suicidas, que fue a su vez dividida en tres grupos a través de la Escala de Ideación Suicida. Los resultados muestran que existen importantes diferencias entre los tres grupos en las variables psicológicas medidas. Se discute el papel de las variables psicosociales, que están en la base del incremento del riesgo o protección hacia la ideación o tentativa suicida, para propiciar políticas públicas de prevención del suicidio más centradas en aquellas subpoblaciones clínicas con perfiles de riesgo concretos.

Abstract:
Research has found that people accept some suicides more than others. The present study examined whether attitudes toward a person's suicide are affected by the suicide's gender or marital status, and whether the suicide is a parent or childless. Respondents read one of eight fictitious suicide case stories, in which the above-mentioned variables were manipulated, and then completed the Suicide Attitudes and Attribution Scale (SAAS). It was found that female and male respondents differed in their attitudes toward a person's suicidal behavior to some degree. A parent's suicide was viewed more negatively than a suicide by a childless person. A tendency for respondents to express more respect for a suicide of their own gender was also detected. It is discussed whether differences in acceptance of suicide can be associated with actual suicide rates.

Abstract:
Abstract: Suicidal behavior in adolescence: A practical guide for intervention and prevention. In Spain, suicide rates have increased over the last ten years. The increase has been particularly significant among adolescents. This paper realizes a conceptual update of suicidal behavior, following WHO criteria. A review is carried out of the risk factors for suicidal behavior in adolescence, both biological, psychological and social, differentiating between concurrent causes, precipitating causes and underlying psychopathological process. In particular, a review of the concept of suicidal ideation in adolescence is carried out, as an entry key to develop early intervention and preventive intervention activities. Finally, a protocol is created for intervention and prevention from social, media, school, family and health systems, including intervention by hospital emergency services. Keywords: Suicide; adolescence; suicidal ideation; early intervention; prevention.Resumen: En España las tasas de suicidio han tenido un incremento durante los últimos diez años. Ese incremento ha sido particularmente significativo en la etapa de la adolescencia. En el presente trabajo se realiza una actualización conceptual de las conductas suicidas, siguiendo los criterios de OMS. Se realiza una revisión de los factores de riesgo hacia la conducta suicida en la adolescencia, tanto los biológicos, como los psicológicos y sociales, diferenciando entre causas concurrentes, causas precipitantes, causas desencadenantes y proceso psicopatológico subyacente. De forma particular se realiza una revisión del concepto de ideación suicida en la adolescencia, como llave de entrada para desarrollar actividades de intervención precoz y de tipo preventivo. Finalmente se realiza un protocolo para la intervención y la prevención desde los sistemas social, mediático, escolar, familiar y sanitario, incluyendo la intervención desde los servicios de urgencia hospitalaria.

Abstract:
Suicide among adolescent has emerged as a major public health issue in many low and middle-income (LAMI) countries. Suicidal behavior including ideation and attempt are the most important predictors of completed suicide and offer critical points for intervention. This article reviews recent population and national data based studies of adolescent suicide and suicide attempters for analyzing risk factors for adolescent suicide and suicidal behavior. According to WHO estimates, 800,000 suicide deaths occurred worldwide in 2016 and it is the third leading cause of death for 15-19 year olds. The suicide rate in Bangladesh was 5.9 per 100,000 population in 2016 (4.7 for males and 7.0 for females). Approximately, 90 percent of suicide cases meet criteria for a psychiatric disorder, particularly major depression, substance abuse and prior suicide attempts are strongly related to adolescent suicides. The relationship between psychiatric disorders and adolescent suicide is now well established. Factors related to family adversity, social alienation and precipitating problems also contribute to the risk of suicide. The main target of effective prevention of adolescent suicides is to reduce suicide risk factors. Recognition and effective management and control of psychiatric disorders, e.g. depression, are essential in preventing adolescent suicides. Research on the treatment of diagnosed depressive disorders and of those with suicidal behavior is reviewed.

Abstract:
Family history was examined to determine whether suicide in index patients is associated with suicidal behaviour or mental disorder in their first-degree relatives. Twenty-seven suicides occurred within 5½ years among 955 affectively disordered probands. Among 5042 proband relatives aged 18 years and older, 44 had committed suicide prior to proband entry to the study; however, only one was the relative of a proband suicide. Only two of the relatives who committed suicide were themselves related. As to attempted suicide of relatives, neither the number of attempts nor the severity of attempt was predictive of suicide in probands. Comparison of diagnosis between groups of relatives showed more drug abuse among relatives of proband suicides; this appears to be related to drug abuse among the proband suicides themselves. In contrast to the clustering of suicides within biological families found in other research, these data do not support the use of family history as a clinically useful indicator of suicidal potential in affectively disordered probands.

Suicidal behavior of elderly residents in long-term care: integrative reviewAbstract: The scope of this article is to identify suicidal behavior in elderly residents of long-term care institutions available in the literature. It is an Integrative Review with a search in the databases: CINAHL, MEDILINE, Scopus, Web of Science, BVS and Cochrane Library. Using the descriptors: Suicide, Suicide Attempted, Suicidal Ideation, Home for the Aged. The inclusion criteria were: scientific articles from primary data, which addressed some type of suicidal behavior in Home for the Aged, available in full electronically, without time frame, publish in any language. After reading the 16 filtered articles, three themes emerged: a) risk factors; b) protective factors; and c) organizational factors. It is noticed that the home environment is not protected against suicidal behavior and often as a risk factor. Religion and a confidant can act as protective factors, and a trained team acts in the prevention of suicide.Descriptors: Suicide, Suicide Attempt, Suicidal Ideation, Home for the Aged, Aged.

Abstract:
Background: The media and the Internet may be having an influence on suicidal behavior. Online social networks such as Facebook represent a new facet of global information transfer. The impact of these online social networks on suicidal behavior has not yet been evaluated. Aims: To discuss potential effects of suicide notes on Facebook on suicide prevention and copycat suicides, and to create awareness among health care professionals. Methods: We present a case involving a suicide note on Facebook and discuss potential consequences of this phenomenon based on literature found searching PubMed and Google. Results: There are numerous reports of suicide notes on Facebook in the popular press, but none in the professional literature. Online social network users attempted to prevent planned suicides in several reported cases. To date there is no documented evidence of a copycat suicide, directly emulating a suicide announced on Facebook. Conclusions: Suicide notes on online social networks may allow for suicide prevention via the immediate intervention of other network users. But it is not yet clear to what extent suicide notes on online social networks actually induce copycat suicides. These effects deserve future evaluation and research.

Abstract:
Introdução: O suicídio na adolescência constitui-se num importante problema de saúde pública mundial e, é desencadeado por diversos fatores socioeconômicos e culturais. Trata-se de uma doença incapacitante visto que são graves e negativos os impactos psicossociais que decorrem das tentativas de suicídio tanto para o indivíduo, quanto para seus familiares. O estudo objetiva descrever os principais fatores de risco associados ao suicídio na adolescência, presentes na literatura. Método: É um estudo de revisão integrativa realizado a partir de dados secundários obtidos, por meio de busca de artigos no período de 2004 a 2019, acessando as bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed. Resultados e discussão: A maioria dos estudos apontam que as mu¬lheres estão mais propensas à ideação suicida e os homens, à prática do ato suicida. Os principais estudos sobre o tema indicam a depressão como sendo o principal fator de gatilho que impulsiona uma mudança de ideação suicida para um intento suicida. Pesquisas sugerem que a automutilação não suicida é um preditor robusto de futuras tentativas de suicídio; no entanto, automutilação não-suicida raramente tem sido considerada dentro de uma estrutura de ideação para ação. Abuso de substâncias psicoativas e, problemas nos núcleos familiar e escolar configuram fortes preditores de comportamento suicida entre os adolescentes. Conclusão: O suicídio é um fenômeno complexo que traz consequências negativas não só para família da vítima, mas também para o meio social no qual o adolescente está inserido. As adversidades da infância (especialmente as violências físicas e abusos sexuais) são poderosos indicadores do início e persistência de comportamentos suicidas. Logo, a escola, principal local em que adolescente convive, tem papel estratégico para a promoção e proteção da saúde dos alunos em conjunto com ações governamentais de apoio à prevenção do suicídio.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: The suicide in the adolescence consist in an important problem of world public health, and is triggered by several socioeconomic and cultural factors. It is an incapacitating disease since the psychosocial impacts resulting from suicide attempts are serious and negative. This study aims to describe the main risk factors associated with suicide in adolescence, present in the literature. Method: This is an integrative review study based on secondary data obtained through the search of articles from 2004 to 2019, by accessing the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature databases Health Sciences (LILACS), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed. Results and discussion: Most studies indicate that women are more prone to suicidal ideation and men suicidal acts. Major studies on the subject indicate that depression is the main trigger factor that drives a shift from suicidal ideation to a suicidal attempt. Research suggests that non-suicidal self-mutilation is a robust predictor of future suicide attempts; however, non-suicidal self-mutilation has rarely been considered within a framework of ideation for action. Abuse of psychoactive substance and problems in the family and school nuclei are strong predictors of suicidal behavior among adolescents. Conclusion: Suicide is a complex phenomenon that has negative consequences not only for the victim’s family but also for the social environment in which the adolescent is inserted. The adversities of childhood (especially physical violence and sexual abuse) are powerful indicators of the onset and persistence of suicidal behavior. Therefore, the school, the main place where adolescents live, plays a strategic role in promoting and protecting students’ health in conjunction with government actions to support suicide prevention.
Key-words: non suicide self-injury; Suicide; Suicide attempts; Adolescence, factors for suicide.

Abstract:
De nos jours, le suicide est devenu en France un phénomène difficile à ignorer. Acte de courage ou de lâcheté, il demeure pourtant bel et bien l'un des derniers tabous de notre société. La mort volontaire possède en soi un effet profondément désorganisateur et la tentation est alors grande pour la société de s'en défendre par le biais de l'un de ses instruments de répression privilégiés : le droit. Les sanctions imaginées pour punir ceux qui ont choisi de se donner la mort apparaissent alors à l'historien du droit particulièrement révélatrices des attitudes d'une société face à la mort. Relativement toléré dans la Rome antique, le suicide va faire l'objet d'une condamnation radicale de la part de l'Église. Condamnation reprise par la législation séculière et qui traverse les siècles jusqu'à nos jours. Notre droit semble toujours fortement marqué par l'anathème religieux, et l'on retrouve des stigmates de cette condamnation tant dans le droit public que dans le droit privé. De crime de lèse-majesté divine, le suicide semble aujourd'hui être devenu un crime de lèse-société, que seule une approche historique de sa répression juridique permet au juriste d'appréhender pleinement, éclairant ainsi le droit positifSuicide is a prominent phenomenon in France today. Whether an act of bravery or of cowardice, it is one of the last remaining taboos of our society. Suicide is in itself a profoundly disruptive influence, which is a serious inducement to society to protect itself through one of its key instruments of repression: the law. To the legal historian, the sanctions imagined to punish those who to take their own lives are particularly indicative of a society's attitude towards death. While tolerated to some extent in ancient Rome, suicide was radically condemned by the church, and has been condemned by secular legislation down the centuries since. Our law is still deeply marked by the religious anathema, and the stigma of this condemnation is still apparent in public and private law alike. Once a crime of divine leze-majesty, suicide now seems to have become a crime against society that the law scholar can only fully apprehend through a historical approach to legal repression, shedding light on positive law

Abstract:
O papel da religiosidade na determinação do comportamento suicida é controverso, havendo estudos que a consideram um fator protetor e outros um fator de risco. Neste estudo os autores conduziram uma revisão sistemática da literatura para avaliar a relação entre a religiosidade e o comportamento suicida. Dentre os 154 artigos publicados em periódicos científicos inicialmente identificados nas bases Medline, Lilacs, Scielo e PsycInfo, foram selecionados 59 artigos que enfocavam a associação entre religiosidade e comportamento suicida. Para a avaliação dos atributos qualitativos dos artigos foi desenvolvido um Roteiro de Avaliação Qualitativa. Os resultados mostram que grande parte dos artigos encontrados apresentava falta de rigor metodológico na mensuração do conceito de religiosidade, possivelmente devido à característica subjetiva desse constructo. Contudo, verificou-se que o papel protetor contra o comportamento suicida exercido pela religiosidade, sofre variações de acordo com a cultura na qual está inserida, considerando que para algumas culturas o comportamento suicida não é visto com total desaprovação. Porém, a maioria dos estudos reforça a hipótese de que a religiosidade diminui o risco de comportamento suicida nos indivíduos que professam algum tipo de credo e, que participam de algum espaço religioso. Não foram encontrados, nesta pesquisa, estudos que medissem a associação, entre religiosidade e comportamento suicida, em religiões de matriz africana.The role of religiosity in determining suicidal behavior is controversial, since there are tudies where its considered a protective factor and others, a risk factor. In this study, the authors conducted a systematic literature review to assess the relationship between religiosity and suicidal behavior. Among the 154 articles published in scientific journals initially identified in Medline, Lilacs, SciELO and PsycInfo, we selected 59 articles that focused on the association between religiosity and suicidal behavior. To evaluate the qualitative attributes of the articles, a Qualitative Evaluation Script was developed. The results show that most articles found presented a lack of methodological rigor in measuring the concept of religiosity, possibly due to the subjective characteristic of this construct. However, it was found that the protective role against suicidal behavior exercised by religion, varies according to the culture in which it operates, whereas in some cultures suicidal behavior is not seen with total disapproval. However, most studies support the hypothesis that religiosity reduces the risk of suicidal behavior in individuals who profess some kind of belief, and participates in some religious space. Were not found, in this research, studies which measure the association between religiosity and suicidal behavior in religions of African origin.

Abstract:
Suicidal ideations and attempts are a major public health problem. Most known risk factors predict suicidality overall, rather than attempt or ideation specifically. Limited research has investigated risk factors that distinguish individuals who attempt suicide from individuals who only think about suicide. Existing demographic, psychological, personality, and sociodemographic risk factors were investigated in 3 samples using validated questionnaires and structured interviews. Cross-sectional data was gathered from 1,348 college students and 2,011 military recruits. Ten-year longitudinal data was gathered from 49 clinically depressed adults. Results from the cross-sectional samples (college students and military recruits) suggest that most risk factors for suicidality do not differentiate attempters from ideators. Risk factors that did appear associated with attempts over ideation were female gender, non-suicidal self-injury, amphetamine use, and a domain of impulsivity - lack of premeditation. Among women, the personality trait of manipulativeness was associated with ideation over attempts. Results from the longitudinal sample (depressed adults) suggest that co-morbid personality disorders, co-morbid anxiety disorders, co-morbid substance use disorders, social adjustment difficulties, and a poor maternal relationship predict suicide attempts in the next 10 years among suicide ideators. Co-morbid personality disorder, especially in Cluster B, appear to be the strongest predictors of attempts in the depressed ideating sample. Further research is needed to replicate these findings and identify further unique predictors of suicide attempts among ideators. This will aid in suicide risk assessment and the development of a comprehensive theory of suicidality.

Abstract:
Suicide has immediate and long-term negative effects on surviving family members and adverse effects in the school and community. Suicide rates for children and adolescents have increased in the United States since 2009. As part of suicide prevention efforts, information about risk factors and warning signs are typically addressed in schools, private organizations, and communities. In addition to academic literature for professional audiences, various therapeutic resources are available to assist those who grieve the suicide of a loved one. In particular, practical and easy-to-implement interventions are needed by those who offer support to suicidal individuals and survivors of suicide. Practical resources are needed to address suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention needs. This study is based on a questionnaire that was given to 250 registered individuals at an annual state suicide prevention training conference. Of those attending, 60 (24%) completed the questionnaire. Participants who did not have experience working with suicidal youth did not participate, so the actual participation rate was influenced by this factor. Questions explored the recommendations of mental health professionals (N=60) who worked with (a) suicidal youth, (b) siblings of youth who completed suicide, and/or (c) youth whose parent completed suicide. More specifically this study investigated specific strategies and resources for working with these three specific groups of survivors. Findings from this study indicated that mental health professionals recommend a variety of suicide prevention resources and strategies such as implementing evidenced-based prevention programs, accessing community resources, offering individual and group counseling for survivors, involving or creating support systems, and listening to the affected youth. Also, recommended therapeutic approaches should include an action plan where students are able to receive appropriate mental health services. Based on this study, mental health professionals may be more effective as they acquaint themselves with available resources such as counselors, school psychologists, and community services to comprehensively care for struggling individuals. Mental health professionals, educators, and staff members should obtain relevant information and utilize effective intervention models in order to better address the prevention, intervention, and postvention needs of surviving individuals.Recommendations are made for future research in identifying the combination of resources that are most helpful. Recommendations are also made regarding specific content and training strategies to more effectively prepare and equip professionals to engage more fully in effective and supportive suicide prevention efforts.

Abstract:
Background: Substantial attention has been given to studying suicides
among those who had been in contact with healthcare providers. However,
effective suicide prevention must target both users (contact) and non-users of
healthcare services (non-contact). The non-contact group has been
under-researched and prevention programs are often designed based on studies
that over-rely on samples of the contact group. Using both quantitative and
qualitative methods, this thesis aims to retrospectively explore and explain the
profiles and service-use patterns of the non-contact group alongside service
utilization models. The quantitative studies, which aimed to identify factors
associated with the non-contact groups, were conducted based on the samples
drawn from the psychological autopsy study of suicides (aged 15-59) in Hong
Kong (2003-2005).
Study 1: Portfolio analysis of the non-contact group with psychiatric illnesses
Considering psychiatric illness as the basic “evaluated need” for psychiatric
service-use, it was controlled for in the comparison between the contact (n=52;
43.7%) and non-contact group (n=67; 56.3%). The non-contact group was
associated with having relatively stable employment, a higher level of problem
solving ability, unmanageable debts, and non-psychotic disorders. They were
evidently different from the contact group, while accounting for a larger
proportion of the suicide population.
Study 2: Study of suicides without psychiatric illnesses
Twenty-nine suicide cases without any psychiatric diagnoses were compared
to live controls without diagnoses (n=135), and live controls (n=15) and deceased
(n=86) with non-psychotic diagnoses. They were not significantly different to the
groups with psychiatric illness on the level of impact from various life events,
either acute or chronic, including relationship, family, legal, physical, and job
insecurity. However, with fewer signs of detectable abnormalities such as previous
suicide attempts, they were not given timely attention from healthcare or
psychosocial services. Alternative preventive measures are suggested to address
the service needs arising from their negative life events.
Study 3: Study of suicides with distress from job insecurity
Suicides who were employed at time of death tended to make no contact
with healthcare services. They were single, lived alone, earned less income, and
suffered from depression. Chronic job insecurity, which was partially mediated by
psychiatric illness, was found to influence their non-contact pattern. This could be
due to fear of job loss or being stigmatized at work if they decided to receive
treatment. Strengthening mental health programs and financial management in
workplaces is suggested.
Study 4: Study of perceptions towards pathway to care among patients survived
from near-lethal suicide attempts
The personal accounts of patients that survived from near-lethal suicide
attempts revealed that the higher their suicide intent, the lower their perceived
needs and the greater their resistance to receiving healthcare services. Themes
associated with their non-contact pattern were irrelevancy, non-usefulness and
self-reliance. Their views were detouring or against the pathway to care.
Conclusion: The non-contact pattern of suicides cannot be explained by
conventional service-use models. They showed a distinctive profile from the
contact group, and it is suggested that they be helped through proactive prevention
programs and / or population-based preventive measures, e.g. restriction of suicide

Abstract:
A mail survey was conducted with 49 suicide survivors from 13 different suicide support groups across Canada. Participants were asked about their experiences of grieving a suicide and if the suicide was part of a cluster. Quantitative and qualitative research methodology was used in the coding and analysis of the data. A theory diagram was devised to test four hypotheses. Results of the regression analyses contradicted one hypothesis: showing that an increase in coping mechanisms may heighten levels of grief for a suicide survivor. The number of possible suicide linkages was highly significant with 5 of the 49 participants answering positively when asked if the suicide they were grieving was part of a cluster. Suicide bereavement groups were consistently rated as beneficial or very beneficial by participants. Lastly, content analysis of the open-ended questions showed a common experience of stigma associated with a suicidal death for survivors.

Abstract:
Suicidal behaviour is a phenomenon encountered the world over. Recognising and adequately dealing with such behaviours, in a professional setting, is a role expected of a psychologist. Working with suicidal behaviour is influenced by a variety of factors on the part of the psychologist. These may include, inter alia, experiences they may have had with suicidal behaviour, the training they have received in order to deal with such behaviours and their subjective experience of self-efficacy in dealing with such behaviours. The current qualitative study sought to explore and describe the experiences of recently qualified South African psychologists in dealing with suicidal behaviour through semi-structured interviews. The focus was on newly qualified clinical psychologists who received their masters training at a university in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The study aimed to understand how confident, equipped, and ready newly qualified psychologists perceived themselves in dealing with suicidal behaviour. Three major themes emerged from the data. The first describes the strategies psychologists used in order to recognise potential suicidal behaviour, the second was how newly qualified psychologists managed suicidal behaviour, and the final theme described how psychologists could be prepared for their role to deal effectively with these behaviours. Investigating their experiences enabled the participants to contribute towards creating knowledge in this crucial area of psychological practice and allowed for the discovery of invaluable insights which could benefit the future training of psychologists.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Swedish Transport Administration (STA) work to reduce the number of suicides in the transport system. Fatalities, i.e., on roads, railways, and bridges, originate from either accidents or suicides, natural death excluded. Knowing the correct manner of death is needed to work with optimal prevention strategies. The aims are to separate fatalities due to suicides, follow the development, and implement measures for suicide prevention. Methods are developed for suicide classification and criteria for the selection in which suicides were suspected. Fatalities in level one and two of five were classified as suicides. Data from the STA’s databases are used and so are data from the psychosocial investigations done by a trained investigator in the topic and with clinical experience from counselling at hospitals. 2129 persons died on the roads in Sweden, 10% (206 persons) were classified as suicides. 336 persons died after being hit by trains, 85% (284 persons) were suicides. 130 persons died by jumping from bridges.The number of suicides increases with population density. Suicide in the transport system is a major problem; firstly personal tragedies, it is also a work environment problem for truck and train drivers and for the emergency staff. It generates delays and costs for passenger and cargo transport. By analyzing the results of countermeasures in the form of obstructive barriers, the physical environment can be improved and high-risk areas can be accentuated. Restricting access to the means of suicide is important in suicide prevention. Strategies for the STA include suicide prevention in the design of new roads, railways, and bridges, as well as by identifying and reducing existing high-risk locations. Sharing the results with other authorities and organizations and cooperation within suicide prevention missions are vital for the enhancement of the overall suicide prevention work in society.

Abstract:
Suicide rates vary considerably between nations. This observation suggests that sociocultural characteristics of nations might play an important role in explaining suicidal behavior. In this study we examined country-level associations between suicide rates and dimensions of cultural variability while adjusting for gross domestic product per capita. While some characteristics of modern culture such as intellectual autonomy and secular-rational values were associated with higher suicide rates, characteristics of postmodern societies such as self-expression values and egalitarian commitment were associated with lower suicide rates. Exploratory analyses also showed meaningful associations between suicide rates and other measures of cultural variability such as societal cynicism and long-term orientation. Gender differences were also observed, with hierarchy being positively associated to female but not male suicide rates.

In Anais Estendidos do Simpósio Brasileiro de Sistemas Multimídia e Web. Sociedade Brasileira de Computação - SBC, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5753/webmedia_estendido.2023.234461.
Abstract:
Suicide causes approximately 800,000 deaths worldwide every year, which means one death by suicide every 40 seconds. Suicidal ideation is the first stage in the suicide risk scale, in which the individuals have thoughts regarding being dead. Thereby, suicide prevention strategies may focus on identifying and treating individuals with this severity level. Therefore, this article presents the summary of an Academic Master’s Dissertation that proposes Thoth, a computational model for assisting people suffering from suicidal ideation. The main scientific contribution of the Thoth is the personalized assistance for individuals at risk of suicidal ideation through the analysis of Context Information for anticipating the identification of future risks. The model gathers sensor, sociodemographic, and psychological data for future risk checking through Machine Learning models. Experiments showed that the models obtained F1-Score up to 94.12%. Based on the experiments, Thoth could act in a personalized manner, sending recommendations and alerts to patients and caregivers, respectively. Thus, this research provides an improvement in the assistance of individuals with suicidal ideation through the proposed model.

Abstract:
There is a paucity of cross-cultural research on youth suicidal behaviour. An understanding of the cultural aspects of suicidal behaviour is essential for the development of culturally appropriate suicide prevention and intervention strategies. In this study, meanings, cultural representations, attitudes, values and beliefs regarding youth suicide were explored in 700 young Italians, Indians and Australians. Participants were University students (18-24 years old) from Italy, India and Australia. Participants had to be at least second generation, i.e. both they and their parents were born in the countries included in the study. Data collection was through completion of a questionnaire with structured and semi-structured questions (e.g. case vignettes, word associations, attitude scale, open-ended questions) and focus groups. In this proceedings, findings about the attitudes towards suicide focusing on the differences/similarities by country, gender, spiritual beliefs and suicide risk will be presented and the implications of the findings for suicide risk assessment and treatment will be discussed.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Some prospective studies reported that obesity is positively associated with depression. Adults with obese might have higher suicide risk, as patients with major depression disorder have a higher risk of committing suicide compared to the normal population. This study aimed to examine the association between obesity and the risk of suicide in adults. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic review. The study was collected published articles from 2010 to 2020 in Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link, Hindawi, Clinical Key, and ProQuest electronic databases. Searching process by insert “obesity” AND “suicidal” AND “cross sectional” AND “adjusted odd ratio” keywords. The inclusion criteria were full text, in English language, cross-sectional design, and reporting adjusted odds ratio. The data were analyzed by PRISMA flow chart and Revman 5.3. Results: 4 articles reported that obesity increased the risk of suicidal ideas in adults (aOR= 1.12; 95% CI= 0.96 to 1.31; p= 0.14). Conclusion: Obesity increased the risk of suicide in adults.

Suicide is the first leading cause of death among children and adolescents worldwide. Predictors of suicide-related behaviours might help in the task of intervening to avoid or monitor future suicide risks. In this paper, a sample of individuals who were taken to a Child Psychiatry Facility in Brazil was analyzed. Machine learning algorithms were used to generate models for predicting suicidal behaviour, and the features that better explain this complex behaviour were also analyzed. Results show a sensitivity of 0.83 and a specificity of 0.97.

Abstract:
INTRODUCCIÓN: El suicidio, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud), es un problema mundial, que provoca cada año más muertes, que las causadas por guerras, asesinatos y desastres naturales. Son múltiples los factores de riesgo que propician una conducta suicida, y entre ellos cabe destacar, los trastornos por uso de sustancias (TUS). OBJETIVOS Conocer la evidencia actual sobre la relación entre suicidio y trastorno por consumo de sustancias. METODOLOGÍA Se ha realizado una búsqueda bibliográfica en PubMed utilizando las palabras claves suicide, suicide attempt, drugs, substance use disorder. El idioma utilizado ha sido el inglés, y se ha revisado la bibliografía de los últimos 5 años RESULTADOS Según la bibliografía, los trastornos por uso de sustancias están asociados con un riesgo significativamente mayor de suicidio en ambos sexos, siendo aún más relevante, si hay un diagnóstico de múltiples trastornos por uso de sustancias (alcohol, cannabis, cocaína, opiáceos, anfetaminas etc). Sin embargo, hay otros estudios donde el riesgo relativo asociado con el TUS es particularmente alto para las mujeres. Estos datos pueden estar relacionados con la oposición de las mujeres a buscar ayuda para los trastornos asociados con el uso de sustancias en comparación con los hombres, de modo que las mujeres diagnosticadas están más afectadas. Las condiciones psiquiátricas también juegan un papel importante en la mortalidad por suicidio en las personas con TUS, aunque incluso controlando estas afecciones, los trastornos por uso de sustancia siguen siendo un factor de alto riesgo. CONCLUSIÓN Los trastornos actuales por uso de sustancias indican un aumento en el riesgo de suicidio. Este aspecto nos ayudará a detectar y prevenir el riesgo de suicidio en las personas diagnosticas de trastornos por consumo de sustancias cuando ingresan en los programas de tratamiento de uso de sustancias.

Abstract:
The article examines variables that might influence associations between dimensions of perfectionism and current feelings of hopelessness and suicidal ideation in pandemic and post-pandemic in university students. Review of the literature indicates that self-oriented and other-oriented perfectionism are possibly adaptive or maladaptive under certain conditions. Implications for the development of comprehensive, and multidimensional models of the perfectionism-suicide risk link in students and for prevention of perfectionists at risk of suicide are discussed.

Abstract:
This review aims to support program design, review, and development of suicide prevention initiatives targeting men; specifically male veterans and defence force personnel, separated men, and men who have experienced sexual assault. It aims to address two questions for each group: a) What is known about the risk of suicide? and b) What programs or interventions have been effective in reducing the risk of suicide? The review found a higher risk of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts and suicide deaths in all groups but few prevention interventions targeting them. Further research is needed into how interactions with other factors (e.g. substance use, financial stress) contribute to this increased risk along with evaluation of implemented programs and research into the pathways to suicide by men in these groups.

Abstract:
Suicide aftercare is designed to increase access to and engagement with care to prevent repetition of suicidal behaviour or self-harm. Across the country, various models of aftercare are being implemented, including non-clinical and community-based services. Most of these services are evidence-informed but are yet to be comprehensively evaluated. This review examines which suicide aftercare services have been found to be effective in reducing further suicide attempts, with a focus on the components that contribute to their effectiveness.

Abstract:
Suicide postvention comprises a concerted response to, and provision of care for, people bereaved by suicide including those impacted by the suicide of a family member, friend or person in their social network. Currently, various forms of postvention services are available, such as group support, grief counselling, outreach by agencies and online support. Despite the devastating and lasting effects, a suicide can have on the bereaved and the number of people affected, little is known of what helps bereaved individuals. This review examines what suicide postvention models have been shown to be effective to reduce distress in family, friends and communities following a suicide along with what service components contribute to effectiveness.
