[Social determinants of attempted suicide].
With the case histories as a basis, the sociodemographic characteristics were analyzed of patients admitted to the Clinical Toxicology Centre, Institute of Occupational Medicine, Lódź, with drug-involving self-poisonings. Besides, the most prevalent reasons for and motives of suicidal attempts were determined. The majority of patients were between 15 and 29 years of age. The suicidal attempts were found to be more frequent in women and the highest rate (48%) was reported in married couples. Among the reasons, the family problems dominated. The majority of patients regarded the suicidal attempt as an instrument; only a few reported a strong will to die. The case study indicate that in seeking reasons for suicidal attempts the family status and social situation should be considered.
