Factors influencing the effectiveness of case management interventions for suicide attempters in a psychiatric hospital

Factors influencing suicide reattempts among participants in the case management intervention included younger age, adjustment disorder, dissociative disorder, history of previous suicide attempts, and overdose as the method of attempt. In addition to a history of previous suicide attempts and overdoses, which were previously reported, dissociative disorder was observed to strongly influence suicide reattempts, even after case management. Therefore, additional psychotherapeutic strategies, particularly for individuals with dissociative disorders or frequent suicide attempts, may be necessary.
