THE INFLUENCE OF MARITAL STATUS ON THE SUICIDAL BEHAVIOUR OF A SERVICEMANS

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study conducted to analyse the basis of the sociodemographic characteristics of suicides and to study a number of macro and micro social factors influencing the formation of suicidal behaviour. The object of the study was 205 military personnel suffering from mental disorders who were hospitalized in the psychiatric department of the Main Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Defence, from 2001 to 2011, due to various forms of suicidal behaviour. As a result of a study on the marital status of servicemen who attempted suicide, among the rank and file, no differences were found between servicemen who grew up in a complete family 47.4% (64 people) and servicemen from an incomplete family 52.6% (71 people), respectively (p>0.05). As a result of the study, reliability was not determined by the degree of harmony in the family of servicemen who attempted suicide among the rank and file (p>0.05). According to the author's conclusion, a suicide attempt has a different focus depending on the structural features of the family of officers and enlisted personnel. One of the main influencing factors in the formation of changes in behaviour, including the cause of self-destructive behaviour and its last limit - a suicidal attempt, was improper parental control and upbringing in the family.
