- Abstract
Objective: It has been shown in previous research that the impulsive type of suicide is influenced by seasonal content. In this study, a relationship between suicide characteristics and seasons was investigated in adolescents with a suicide attempt. Material and Methods: The demographic characteristics of adolescents who applied to a training and research hospital in a two-year period between 2018-2020 were retrospectively examined. Results: Data of 124 adolescents were reached within this period. Of 44.4% (n=55) the cases were in 2019 and 55.6% (n = 69) were in 2018. 27.4% (n=34) of suicide attempts were in autumn, 26.6% (n=33) in winter, 25% (n=31) in summer, 21% (n=26) in spring. There was no reason for suicide attempt in 16.1% (n=20) of the cases, 41.1% (n=51) family conflict, 25% (n=31) difficulties in friendship were the reasons for suicide attempt. While no psychiatric disorder was found in 49.2% (n = 61) of the cases, the most common psychiatric disorder was depression (38.7%, n=48). The absence of difficulty in friendships during summer season, which was determined as the reason for suicide attempt, was found statistically significant (χ² (3) = 24.550, p <.001). Conclusion: Within the seasons, only a relationship was found between the summer season and the cause of suicide attempt, which is consistent with the literature.
