AYOLLARDA SUITSIDAL MOYILLIK: EPIDEMIOLOGIYA VA SUD-TIBBIY EKSPERTIZA

Abstract

Introduction. Suicidal tendencies represent a serious public health issue and often lead to tragic consequences. According to the World Health Organization, suicides are one of the leading causes of death among women of reproductive age. It is important to understand that suicidal tendencies can be influenced by numerous factors, including psycho-emotional state, social circumstances, and biological predispositions. Forensic medical examination plays a key role in assessing suicidal tendencies, as it allows not only the establishment of the causes and circumstances leading to suicide but also the formulation of preventive measures.

The aim of this study is to analyze the epidemiology of suicidal tendencies in women and to evaluate forensic medical examination methods for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to this phenomenon.

Materials and Methods. For the study, data from forensic medical examinations of suicide cases among women registered from 2022 to 2024 were analyzed. Research methods included. Statistical Analysis: Studying the frequency of suicide cases among women in different age groups and socio-economic strata. Clinical Analysis: Assessing the psycho-emotional state of patients using questionnaires and scales for depression and anxiety. Forensic Medical Examination: Conducting examinations and analyzing the results, including toxicological studies and linguistic diagnostics (analysis of notes and letters). Qualitative Analysis: Analyzing interviews with specialists in psychology and forensic examination to understand risk factors.
Results. The results showed that suicidal tendencies are most pronounced among women aged 25 to 45 years (approximately 60% of registered cases). Social factors such as unemployment and divorce significantly increase the risk of suicidal tendencies. Clinical analysis revealed a lack of adequate psychological support for 70% of women, exacerbating their psycho-emotional state. Forensic medical examinations confirmed that 40% of cases had previous suicide attempts or threats of suicide.

Conclusion. This study demonstrates a high prevalence of suicidal tendencies among women, especially in reproductive age, highlighting the need for active intervention from public health and preventive programs. Forensic medical examination is an important tool for a deeper understanding of the causes of suicides, and the results emphasize the necessity of a comprehensive approach to crisis intervention and the provision of psychological support. This can aid in preventing suicides and reducing alarming statistics among women. Further research is needed to explore preventive methods and improve the support system for women facing difficulties.
