Analysis of socio-psychological factors associated with suicidal behavior in persons of military age

Currently, the Armed Forces are facing the problem of the death of personnel who committed suicide, which makes it important to look for the reasons of suicidal behavior.The study involved 169 men, divided into two groups: the first group consisted of persons of military age, in the amount of 115 people and the second group included 54 people who committed parasuicide using highly lethal methods of self-harm (GLIVS). During the study, socio-demographic characteristics (age, marital status, living conditions, professional status, characteristics and conditions of upbringing) and individual psychological personality traits (type of temperament, introversion-extraversion, neuroticism, ostentatiousness, fixedness, formalism, excitability, hyperthymia, dysthymia, anxiety, exaltation, affectability, cyclothymia) were assessed. The calculations were performed using the statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics 22.Statistically significant differences between the study groups were due to the presence of differences between persons brought up in two-parent families. These groups differed in the phlegmatic type of temperament (predominant in GLIVS), the character traits of excitability, dysthymia, and hyperthymia. For GLIVS brought up in two-parent families, in addition to the phlegmatic type of temperament, it was characterized by the presence of punishments in childhood, a lower level of education (secondary education prevailed), a lower level of neuroticism, excitability, dysthymia and anxiety, an average level of hyperthymicity.Statistically significant differences between the study groups were revealed in terms of the type of temperament, excitability, dysthymism, and hypotensiveness and were due to the presence of differences between persons brought up in full families.Individuals from full families of GLIVS are characterized by the presence of more frequent punishments in childhood, a phlegmatic type of temperament, a lower level of education, a lower level of neuroticism, excitability, dysthymia, anxiety.

Control Spectrum

Disorders of impulse-control and self-harm are dangerous clinical problems that often present significant challenges for scientists and clinicians. In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive review of each disorder on the impulse-control spectrum. We begin by describing the clinical presentation and epidemiology of each disorder. Next, we discuss what is currently known about the etiology of these disorders, summarizing recent research on genetic/neurobiological factors, environmental factors, and psychological factors that appear to influence these disorders. The assessment and treatment of disorders of impulse-control and self-harm is complicated by the relatively low base-rate of these disorders, as well as by their dangerous and sensitive nature. Nevertheless, several evidence-based approaches to assessment and treatment have been developed and also are reviewed here. We conclude with recommendations for future scientific and clinical efforts aimed at better understanding, predicting, and preventing disorders of impulse-control and self-harm.

Significant Difference

Background: Conservative treatment is the first-line approach for Müller-Weiss disease (MWD). However, factors associated with the failure of conservative treatment have never been reported. Our objectives were to compare the differences in demographic and radiographic parameters between “successful” and “failure” conservative treatment in patients with MWD and identify descriptive factors associated with failure conservative treatment. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 68 patients with MWD divided into 29 “failure” and 39 “successful” conservative treatment groups. Demographic characteristics, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain and walking disability, and radiographic parameters such as calcaneal pitch, lateral Meary, anteroposterior (AP) Meary angle, and talonavicular-naviculocuneiform arthritis were compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify descriptive factors of failure conservative treatment. A P value <.05 was considered a statistically significant difference. Results: We found more severe VAS pain and walking disability scores and FAOS for the pain, activities of daily living, and quality of life subscales in the failure group ( P < .05). Regression analysis demonstrated 2 significant descriptive factors associated with failure conservative treatment: abducted AP Meary angle >13.0 degrees and radiographic talonavicular arthritis. No demographic characteristics were found to be associated with failure conservative treatment. Conclusion: Midfoot abduction (AP Meary angle, >13 degrees) and radiographic talonavicular arthritis were factors associated with failure conservative treatment in MWD and should be determined concurrently with the clinical severity. Classification systems for MWD should include these factors. Level of evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.
