Abstract
Objective: People with a significant childhood history of abuse may exhibit emotional
dysregulations and psychiatric disorders and, in some cases, present suicidal ideation.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study data were collected
from suicidal patients referred to two grand hospitals in 2019. One hundred ninetyfive participants were evaluated concerning child abuse and neglect history. Data were
reported as mean, SD, frequency, and percent. T-test and chi-square tests were used for
statistical analyses accordingly.
Results: Child abuse regarding suicidal people were to the following order, neglect
(n=103), child emotional abuse (n=102), child physical abuse (n=101), malnutrition (n=96),
and child sexual abuse (n=87). Suicide was different between the two genders, but it was
not different based on parents’ education and marital status.
Conclusion: The harassed child is not equipped with proper behavioral skills and is
subjected to low self-esteem due to incorrect training. Therefore, he/she may commit
suicide in adolescence by facing some problems and failures. In this regard, community
plays an important role, parents must be informed and use the right culture to reward the
child.
