OBJECTIVE: People with a significant childhood history of abuse may exhibit emotional dysregulations and psychiatric disorders and, in some cases, present suicidal ideation.
METHODS: In this descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study data were collected from suicidal patients referred to two grand hospitals in 2019. One hundred ninety-five participants were evaluated concerning child abuse and neglect history. Data were reported as mean, SD, frequency, and percent. T-test and chi-square tests were used for statistical analyses accordingly.
RESULTS: Child abuse regarding suicidal people were to the following order, neglect (n = 103), child emotional abuse (n = 102), child physical abuse (n = 101), malnutrition (n = 96), and child sexual abuse (n = 87). Suicide was different between the two genders, but it was not different based on parents' education and marital status.
CONCLUSION: The harassed child is not equipped with proper behavioral skills and is subjected to low self-esteem due to incorrect training. Therefore, he/she may commit suicide in adolescence by facing some problems and failures. In this regard, community plays an important role, parents must be informed and use the right culture to reward the child. © 2022 The Author(s).
