Some sociological and health aspects of the suicidal behavior

V diplomskem delu so predstavljeni nekateri sociološki in zdravstveni vidiki samomorilnosti. Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti problem samomorilnosti na slovenskem, s posebnim poudarkom na bolj ogroženih regijah, ter osvetliti problem samomorilnosti tudi z zdravstvenih, biološko-medicinskih, ekonomskih, socioloških in etičnih vidikov. Diplomsko delo je sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. V teoretičnem delu je predstavljena problematika samomorilnosti iz različnih zornih kotov. Predstavljeni so dejavniki tveganja, ter nekateri miti in dejstva, kakor tudi delo medicinske sestre s suicidalno ogroženim bolnikom. Predstavili smo podatke o samomorilnosti na slovenskem ozemlju ter predstavili možne in izpeljane ukrepe za zmanjševanje problematike. V empiričnem delu so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave, ki smo jo izvedli v letu 2009 v treh slovenskih bolnišnicah, ki delujejo na območju, kjer je samomorilnost zelo visoka, oz. najvišja v Sloveniji. Med 130 zaposlenih zdravstvenih delavcev smo razdelili anketne vprašalnike, s katerimi smo želeli ugotoviti, kakšno je poznavanje problematike med zdravstvenimi delavci in odnos zdravstvenih delavcev do pojava samomorilnosti in do samomorilcev na bolj ogroženih območjih (Celjska in Koroška regija). Ugotovili smo, da so zdravstveni delavci dobro seznanjeni s splošno znanimi statističnimi podatki v zvezi s samomorilnostjo na slovenskem, da so v odgovorih, ko morajo izraziti svoje mnenje o samomorilnosti neodločni, razen ko smo jih spraševali o evtanaziji. Večina anketirancev ocenjuje, da nimajo dovolj znanja in izkušenj, da bi lahko pomagali samomorilno ogroženemu človeku ali preprečili samomor.In diploma thesis are introduced some sociological and health issues of suicidal behavior.
