Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PURE MEDICAL RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Objective: This study was performed to examine different kinds of self-mutilation in patients suffering from psychiatric disorders and its relation with the type of illness among patients visiting the psychiatric section at Lavasani Hospital in 2014-15. Method: This study is a descriptive-analytical observation. Fortytwo patients suffering from mental illnesses, who had performed self-mutilation, entered the study, and the prevalence of the type of self-mutilation, the device used, and its relation with the type of mental disorder was analyzed. Results: The Results showed that 90.5% of patients used sharp objects, 4.8% used re, 2.4% used rocks, and 2.4% used other devices for self-mutilation. 76.2% of patients injured the organs, 19% injured the neck and head, 24% injured the body, and 2.4% injured the stomach area. Age and sex did not have a direct correlation with the place and device used (P>0.05), but type of disorder did show a signicant relationship with the place and device used (P=0.001). Conclusion: Based on current research results, it is inferred that selfmutilation in mental patients is done mainly using sharp objects in the organs.
