Objective:To analyze the mental states and help-seeking preference of family members of suicide attempters in the early treatment.
Methods:A total of 148 groups (1 patient and 1 family member in each group) of suspected suicide attempters, who received medical consultation in the emergency departments of 3 general hospitals in Shanghai, and their families were investigated by using the self-compiled general information questionnaire, the suicide module of the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.), and the Chinese short version of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale.
Results:There were 84 cases (56.8%) of suicide attempters (SA) and 64 cases (43.2%) of non-suicide attempters (NA) according to the suicidal behavior evaluation of the M.I.N.I., and significant anxiety and stress existed in the family members of SA and NA. The family members of SA were more prominent in feeling the sense of shame and depression (p<0.05), and they were more inclined to choose the ways of solitude and psychiatric/psychological outpatient services to deal with the current and future psychological problems separately (p<0.01).
Conclusion:The medical staffs should give more understanding and help to the family members, such as informing the appointment information of psychological clinic to them, and strengthen the popularization of mental health science to reduce the sense of shame.
