This action is not committed inadvertently or<br />incongruously. However, it could be related to one`s unmet needs and feelings of despair. Studies<br />on the prevalence of suicide are related to environmental and seasonal circumstances. As there<br />are diverse populations in Bandar Abbas of different races due to its geographical position, and as<br />its weather condition is different from the other parts of country there is no study with this regard.<br />Hence, the aim of this research is to investigate the correlations between and among demographical<br />variables and suicide in different seasons of the year. Materials and Methods: This study is a<br />cross‑sectional one. Participants included 80 persons who had attempted suicide and were<br />hospitalized within 2011 in the Ebnesina Hospital of Bandar Abases, Iran. The variables under<br />investigation are the suicidal patients` demographic characteristics, where, when, and how the<br />person had committed suicide. All of these data were available in their profiles. These data were<br />analyzed by using the SSPS software. Results: The results showed that 45% of the suicidal<br />people were the young and adolescent. Also, 75.5% of these people were single and 22.5% of<br />them were married. Most suicides occurred in summer, which makes up 41.3% of all the suicidal<br />people. On the other hand 11.3% of the suicides were committed successfully and 88.7% of them<br />had been unsuccessful; 42.5% of suicidal people had used drugs and 38.8% of them had used<br />pesticides to commit suicide — 78.8% of these patients had psychotic disorders and 12.5% of<br />them suffered from mental disorders such as schizophrenia. Furthermore, a significant relationship<br />was found between seasons in which suicide was committed, marital status, age, mental illness,<br />and educational and occupational characteristics of suicidal patients. Conclusion: This study<br />showed that the most vulnerable people<br />committing suicide were from among the<br />young and adolescent. Singles had attempted<br />suicide more than the married. Most of suicide<br />attempters had used drugs to commit suicide.<br />Generally, in the current study, some variables<br />including season, marital status, age, history<br />of mental illnesses, and educational and<br />occupational variables were all associated<br />with committing suicide.<br /><br /> https://jehp.mui.ac.ir/article_26656_0a979f021ded11b1db1a9468d6a65826.pdf
