[The analysis of early stressful life events and parental relationships among patients after suicide attempts].
A lot of data in literature shows the importance of early stressful life events for the later existence and possible difficulties including suicide behaviours in adult life. The aim of the study was to identify the intensity of traumatic events in childhood and adolescence and distinguish the most significant categories of those events. Remarkable is the fact that the patients who experienced in the childhood situations of emotional abuse focused on the negative attitude of the environment (79%) and physical violence (78%) represented the largest proportion of subjects. Specific difficulties during childhood and adolescence among patients after suicide attempts were proven. Patients after suicide attempts in a large extent early experienced situations connected with emotional distance, negative feedback from the environment, manifestations of rejection and humiliation and misunderstanding. Males more than females declared experiencing situations classified as physical violence, low economic status of the family, interpersonal loss and general trauma. Comparatively often both groups pointed at perilous parents' acts. Females more often pointed at events concerning sexual domain. Very strong emotions assisted stressful life events, particularly significant among females and characterized by anxiety and helplessness. Patients after suicide attempts most often described their fathers as over controlling, demanding and intrusive with the deficiency of care and protectiveness. This pattern was equally distinct in the group of females and males.
