 This study analyzed the clinical characteristics of 10 individuals who attempted suicide and were treated at the Iwate Medical University Hospital and Iwate Advanced Critical Care and Emergency Center during the 1-year period following the Great East Japan Earthquake. Results showed that:(1) most attempts were made within 4 weeks following the earthquake;(2) factors related to the suicide attempts included acute stress reactions (for attempts made within 4 weeks following the earthquake) and secondary stress, including changes in work and place of residence (for attempts made 5 weeks or later post-earthquake);(3) most individuals were in a depressive state due to a mood disorder;(4) most used a method(s) that was less likely to result in serious physical injury;and (5) most were hospitalized in the Emergency Center. These findings suggest that efforts to prevent serious suicide attempts must begin immediately after a traumatic event. It is also necessary to provide individuals with both mental and physical treatment, as well as long-term follow-up, in collaboration with key hospitals and/or emergency centers.
