Abstract EN
The purpose of this research was to examine the complexity of circumstances that result in deliberate self-poisoning cases.
For the purposes of this paper, the cases were patients that presented for care and were admitted to the specialty hospital in Northwest of Iran.
The research examined the problems preceding deliberate self-poisoning and the interrelations among them by applying network analysis methods.
The network was scored for degrees of centrality and betweenness centrality.
Structural analysis of network also was conducted using block modelling.
The results showed that family conflicts had the highest score for degree of centrality among women, while the highest score for degree of centrality among men belonged to those dealing with drug addiction.
Analysis for degree of betweenness centrality revealed that drug addiction had the highest score among men, whereas the highest score for women on betweenness centrality was related to physical illness.
Structural analysis of the network showed differences in role that various problems played in intentional self-poisoning.
The findings from this research can be used by public health authorities to create prevention programs that address the problems leading to deliberate self-poisoning.
