中文摘要 | 近年來老年人人口快速增加的同時,老年人的自殺死亡率亦有增加的趨勢,故這項問題值得進一步評估。本研究乃應用衛生署生命統計資料及死亡個案資料檔,評估近八年來老年人自殺死亡率的變化,並比較區域間、不同性別及不同年齡層老年人的死亡率差異,也分析死亡事故相關特性。結果發現在1993年至2000年期間老年人自殺死亡率是有上升趨勢,八年間每十萬人口平均自殺死亡率,男女性分別是37.9和21.1;在2000年時每十萬人口的自殺死亡率達35.5(男性44.6、女性25.2);其中在年齡85歲及以上老年人的增加為最多。臺灣地區男性老年人的自殺死亡率與其他國家差異不大,但女性老年人的自殺死亡率高於美國、星加坡和韓國。自殺男性較多為未婚或離婚者;自殺方式以吊死、勒死的比例最多;自殺方式於性別間、區域間有顯著差異,女性較男性多以服毒自殺,高處跳下的比例在臺北市和高雄市最多,服毒自殺的比例在中部地區最多;區域方面中以高雄市的老年人自殺死亡率為最高。綜合來看,臺灣地區老年人自殺的問題確屬嚴重,相關的防治工作不容延怠,基層醫療人員更應加強老年人心理健康的評估和照顧。 |
英文摘要 | The mortality rate of suicide has increased among the elderly aged 65 years and above in the recent years. Since the old age population is expected to increase quickly in next decades, the issue of the raising of mortality rate among the elderly ought to be checked further more. In this study, we assessed the trend of suicide among the elderly and the differences among gender, age groups and districts with death records from the Department of Health. The mortality rate of suicide was 35.5/ 10[fec3] (37.9 for male, 21.1 for female). For the period 1993 through 2000, the suicide rate has increased. The average suicide rate per 100,000 populations was 37.9 and 21.1 for male and female respectively. The mortality rate of suicide rose significantly among those aged 85 years and above. The suicide mortality of male was similar to other countries, but that of female was higher than United States, Singapore and Korea. Unmarried who used "harder" methods for suicide was more common in males. The methods of suicide were significant different between gender and districts. Intoxication was more often seen in female. Jumping from tall building was more often seen in Taipei City and Kaoshiung City, while the rate of intoxication was more often seen in central Taiwan. The highest elderly suicide mortality rate was found at Kaoshiung City. In conclusion, suicide is a serious issue among the elderly. The work of suicide prevention among the elderly cannot be delayed any longer. The primary care should be reinforced to provide the elderly with a better care and evaluation for their mental health. |
