Abstract
Violence represents a fundamental violation of human rights. Violence is a worldwide phenomenon resulting in 1.6 million deaths per year, making it one of the top causes of mortality in the world. There is an increase in the suicide rate among victims of violence. Suicide is a serious public health issue. Suicidal poisoning represents the third leading method of suicide overall. Self-poisoning causes thousands of emergency room and hospital visits each year and generates substantial costs to the healthcare system. Our study aimed to assess the incidence of domestic violence, its patterns, and its relation to suicidal poisoning attempts in patients admitted to Tanta University Poison Control Centre (TUPCC). The present study was carried out on 202 suicidal attempt cases admitted to TUPCC in the period from 1st of May 2022 to 31st of October 2022. The patients’ data including their sociodemographic, toxicological, suicidal and clinical evaluation were recorded in a special sheet. In addition, poison severity, investigation results, management and poisoning outcome were also recorded. Data about exposure to domestic violence and data about perpetrators were additionally recorded in a special questionnaire.
