TREATMENT OF SUICIDAL PATIENTS IN PRE-HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT

Samomorilno vedenje je značilnost vseh življenjskih obdobij. Samomorilnost je posledica številnih sociokulturnih dejavnikov in se pogosteje pojavi ob socialnoekonomskih, družinskih in osebnostnih krizah. Samomori so najpogostejša nasilna smrt v Sloveniji. Ker se Slovenija glede poskusov in umrljivosti zaradi samomorov uvršča med bolj ogrožene države, se ekipe nujne medicinske pomoči na terenu pogosto srečujejo s samomorilno ogroženimi osebami. V diplomskem delu predstavljamo sociološke vidike samomora, dejavnike tveganja za samomorilno vedenje, urgentna stanja v psihiatriji, pristop in prevoz samomorilno ogrožene osebe v bolnišnico ter hospitalizacijo proti volji pacienta in vlogo policije pri tem. V empiričnem delu so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave, ki smo jo naredili med zdravstvenimi reševalci po Sloveniji. Zanimalo nas je, kako pogosto in s katerim načinom samomora oz. samomorilnega vedenja, se zdravstveni reševalci srečujejo na terenu. Z raziskavo smo ugotovili, da se zdravstveni reševalci pogosto srečujejo s samomorilno ogroženimi osebami. Po načinu izvedbe samomora se pri svojem delu na terenu srečujejo z različnimi metodami, največ z zastrupitvami, z obešanjem, z orožjem in z ostrimi predmeti.Suicidal behavior is a characteristic of all life stages. Suicide is the result of a number of sociocultural factors and occurs more often with socioeconomic, family and personal crises. Suicide is the most common violent death in Slovenia. Whereas Slovenia ranks among more vulnerable countries regarding attempts and mortality because of suicides that is why medical emergency teams in the field often face suicidal people. The thesis presents the sociological aspects of suicide, risk factors for suicidal behavior, urgent psychiatric conditions, approach and transport of suicidal people to the hospital, hospitalization against the wishes of the patient and the role of police in this regard. The empirical part presents the results of the research carried out among medical rescuers in Slovenia. We were interested in how often and with which method of suicide or suicidal behavior, are medical emergency workers facing in the field. Research has shown that medical rescuers are often faced with suicidal people. Medical rescuers face a variety of methods of suicide in their work, most with intoxications, by hanging, with weapons and with sharp objects
