Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Examines suicidal and parasuicidal behaviors in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) during a period of significant societal transition (1992-2004).
  • Investigates the influence of anomie and personality structures on self-destructive actions.
  • Addresses the rising trend of self-destructive behaviors within the B&H population.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the characteristics and trends of suicidal and parasuicidal behavior in B&H.
  • To differentiate between the patterns and psychological underpinnings of suicide versus parasuicide.
  • To explore the relationship between societal factors like transition and anomie, and suicidal ideation and actions.

Summary:

  • A longitudinal study compared 125 individuals who committed suicide with 125 individuals who engaged in parasuicidal behavior in B&H (2001, 2005).

  • Utilized the GDL, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), and Pluchik's test.
  • Results indicate increasing self-destructivity, with distinct socio-demographic profiles and psychological markers (neuroticism, psychosis, depression, anxiety) for suicide and parasuicide groups (p<0.01).

    • Impact:

    • Confirms a high prevalence of self-destructive behaviors, distinguishing suicide as a more rapid self-ending and parasuicide as a delayed self-harm mechanism.
    • Identifies specific indicators for both suicide and parasuicide, aiding in differential diagnosis and targeted interventions.
    • Highlights the need for mental health strategies addressing the impact of societal transition and anomie on vulnerable populations.
