abstract="Aggressive behavior can be presented as aggression towards oneself (suicide) or towards the others (hetero-aggressive). Both can be found in patients with schizophrenia. In an effort to prevent aggressive behavior of schizophrenic patients, different indicators were observed, including clinical features, comorbidity, previous aggressive or suicidal behavior, and demographic characteristics. This study included men diagnosed with schizophrenia according to the ICD X criteria. They were divided into aggressive (hetero-aggressive and suicidal) (n=60) and control (no aggression observed) (n=60) groups. The aim of the study was to compare demographic characteristics of suicidal and heteroaggressive patients with control group treated at Vrapče University Psychiatric Hospital 2009 and 2010. Aggression was assessed by use of the OAS, C-SSRS and InterSePT scale. Study results showed the suicidal group to stand out with highest education (14.3%; p=0.031), parenthood (28.6%; p=0.010), urban life (89.3%; p=0.03) and support of environment (85.7%; p=0.006). The number of divorced subjects was significantly lower in control group as compared with hetero-aggressive and suicidal groups (3.3%; p=0.046).<p /><p>Language: hr</p>",
