dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Suicide is one of the most important causes of female deaths during pregnancy and postpartum period. The aim of this study is to examine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients who applied to the emergency department for suicide attempts during pregnancy. Methods: This is a retrospective study. Pregnant patients (n=46), between the ages of 18 and 50, admitted to the emergency department for suicide attempt between January 2009 and December 2019 were included in the study. Results: The mean age of the pregnant was 27.74 (SD=5.99). The most common suicide attempts were in the 15th week of gestation. Pregnant mostly attempted suicide in the 1st trimester (52.2%). The most commonly used method for suicide was overdose medication (80.4%). This was followed by exposure to toxic substances (10.9%), jumping from high (4.3%), and self-injury (4.3%). About 37% of the pregnant had a psychiatric history and used psychiatric drugs. About 15.2% of the pregnant had a past suicide attempt. Discussion and Conclusion: Suicide is a preventable psychiatric situation. It can be prevented in pregnant by asking for their current mental health and psychiatric history during early pregnancy assessments.en_US
