Résumé
Cette étude tente d’examiner si le soutien social peut constituer un facteur de protection de la tentative de suicide chez les hommes et, le cas échéant, à identifier quelles sont les formes et les sources de soutien les plus importantes. Elle compare deux groupes d’hommes qui ont vécu des événements de vie sévères au cours des 12 derniers mois : 40 hommes admis à l’urgence d’un hôpital suite à une tentative de suicide et 40 hommes sans antécédent suicidaire. Les résultats indiquent que les hommes qui ont tenté de se suicider perçoivent moins de soutien disponible dans leur entourage et sont moins satisfaits du soutien reçu suite à l’événement le plus difficile survenu au cours de la dernière année. L’aide tangible et l’assurance de sa valeur sont les formes de soutien les plus importantes. L’étude souligne l’importance du soutien social dans la prévention des comportements suicidaires chez les hommes.
Abstract
The goal of this study is to investigate whether social support may constitute a protective factor for attempted suicide among men and, if so, to identify the most important sources and forms of support. The study compares two groups of men who experienced comparable stressful events during the last 12 months : 40 men admitted to hospital emergency following suicide attempts, and 40 men with no history of suicide attempts. Results indicate that the men who attempted suicide perceive less support available and are less satisfied with the support they received following the most difficult stressful event that occurred in the last year. Concrete help and reassurance of worth are the forms of support that appear to be of most importance. This study highlights the importance of social support in the prevention of suicidal behaviours among men.
Resumen
Este estudio intenta examinar si el apoyo social puede constituir un factor de protección de la tentativa de suicidio en los hombres y, en caso contrario, identificar cuáles son las formas y fuentes de apoyo más importantes. Compara dos grupos de hombres que han vivido experiencias graves en el curso de los últimos 12 meses: 40 hombres admitidos en urgencias de un hospital después de una tentativa de suicidio y 40 hombres sin antecedentes de suicidio. Los resultados indican que los hombres que han intentado suicidarse perciben menos ayuda disponible en su entorno y están menos satisfechos del apoyo recibido después del evento más difícil transcurrido en el curso del último año. La ayuda tangible y tener la seguridad de ser valiosos son las formas de apoyo más importantes. El estudio subraya la importancia del apoyo social en la prevención de los comportamientos suicidas en los hombres.
Resumo
Este estudo tenta examinar se o apoio social pode constituir um fator de proteção da tentativa de suicídio nos homens e, se for o caso, identificar quais são as formas e as fontes de apoio mais importantes. Ele compara dois grupos de homens que viveram acontecimentos de vida graves durante os últimos 12 meses: 40 homens recebidos na urgência de um hospital por uma tentativa de suicídio e 40 homens sem antecedente suicidário. Os resultados indicam que os homens que tentaram se suicidar recebem menos apoio disponível ao seu redor e são menos satisfeitos do apoio recebido após o acontecimento mais difícil que ocorreu durante o último ano. A ajuda tangível e a segurança de seu valor são as formas de apoio mais importantes. O estudo ressalta a importância do apoio social na prevenção dos comportamentos suicidários nos homens.
