Abstract:
The researchers conducted this study as a phenomenological research to understand the individual and social factors related to attempted suicide phenomenon among women of Gilan-e Gharb. Participants of the study are comprised of 17 women survivors of attempted suicide selected by purposive sampling or snowball method. To gather the data, we conducted semi-structured interviews in face-to-face and audio-recorded methods from February to April 2017. Researchers transcribed verbatim and analyzed the content of the interviews thematically. The main issues in this study were three main themes including the "personal factors", "social factors", and "other issues related to attempted suicide" with seven sub-themes. We concluded that both personal and social factors contribute to the suicide attempts in female subjects. Also, we found that the majority of participants did not want to die by the attempted suicide.
