Introduction: suicide is one of the problems affected by cultural, regional and multifactorial factors. Currently, there is no regular reporting regarding the prevalence and risk factors of suicide in the country. The current study was conducted with the aim of investigating the prevalence of suicide and its related factors in cases referred to the General Department of Forensic Medicine of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province.
Materials and methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, the files of the deceased suspected of suicide in the autopsy file of the General Department of Forensic Medicine of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province during the years 1389 to 1398 were examined.
Results: The files of 528 people were included in the study. The average age of the deceased suspected of suicide was 33.88 ± 16.08 years. 60.4% of the deceased were in the age range of 15-34 years. In the study, 75.8% of the deceased were men. And the method of committing suicide was hanging in 74.4% of cases. The method of committing suicide was significantly related to gender, age, education and occupation (P<0.05), but it was not related to the season of the year, previous history of committing suicide, and the year of the act. There was a significant difference in the age and marital status of suicide attempters according to gender (P<0.05). In the group of women, a higher prevalence of suicide was observed in married and younger women (P<0.023).
Conclusion: Suicide in the province is a serious problem that has increased in recent years. In this context, there is a serious need to identify people at risk, and to apply preventive and supportive measures.
