Abstract

Our aim was to obtain a profile of inpatients with high risk suicidal behaviour. In a Spanish psychiatric ward, we analyze aforementioned inpatients using quantitative methods, with a cross-sectional descriptive design. We take into account several variables (socio-demographic, clinical and healthcare variables) from 2012 until 2014, collected by MONSUE in 139 indviduals through 185 episodes. We employ chi-square and ANOVA (SPSS.18.0 (C)) for statistical analysis. Some variables reach conventional levels of statistical significance: women, urban, labour situation and job category, usual household composition, attempt lethality, presence of pathological personality, drug use, previous suicide attempts and healthcare assistance related to. During this time the attempeted suicides were growing. © 2019 Fundación AIGLé.
