The analysis was based upon 79 patients hospitalized for suicide attempts (drug intoxication) in the Department of Clinical Toxicology CM UJ in Kraków from July to December 2000. The purpose of the study was to estimate the sense of coherence level (according to Antonovsky) as a potential suicide attempt predictor. The population of patients was divided into two groups: patients after first suicide attempt (I) and group after reattempting suicide (II). The examination was based on structure interview, analysis of medical documentation and a number of tests including SOC 29 (by Antonovsky), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), and Beck Hopelessness Scale (HS 20). The most important psychological and independent variable measured in the study was the sense of coherence, introduced first by Aaron Antonovsky as a significant predictor of mental health. The sense of coherence (measured by SOC 29 questionnaire) comprises comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. Both in foreign and in polish studies the SOC 29 level was lower in clinical groups compared to healthy people. The norm in Polish population was 139 scores in SOC 29. In the present study the average total result (men and women) was 112 scores in the group of patients after first suicide attempt, and in the group of repeated suicide attempters the average total result was even lower--only 99 scores, which makes a statistically significant difference. We also observed a statistically significant dependence between the results of SOC 20 questionnaire, the level of depression measured by Beck Depression Inventory and Hamilton Depression Scale, and the level of hopelessness measured by Beck Hopelessness Scale. The above results indicate that the sense of coherence level may make significant risk factor for repeated suicide attempt.
